The chapter of rare meanings
حدثنا محمد بن القاسم المفسر الجرجاني، قال: حدثنا يوسف بن محمد بن زياد، وعلي بن محمد بن سنان، عن أبويهما، عن الحسن بن علي بن محمد بن علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام، عن أبيه عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لبعض أصحابه ذات يوم: يا عبد الله أحبب في الله، وأبغض في الله ووال في الله وعاد في الله، فإنه لا تنال ولاية الله إلا بذلك، ولا يجد الرجل طعم الايمان وإن كثرت صلاته وصيامه حتى يكون كذلك وقد صارت مؤاخاة الناس يومكم هذا أكثرها في الدنيا، عليها يتوادون، وعليها يتباغضون، وذلك لا يغني عنهم من الله شيئا. فقال الرجل: يا رسول الله فكيف لي أن أعلم أني قد واليت وعاديت في الله؟ ومن ولي الله عزو جل حتى أواليه؟ ومن عدوه حتى أعاديه؟ فأشار له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله إلى علي عليه السلام فقال: أترى هذا؟ قال: بلى، قال: ولي هذا ولي الله فواله، وعدو هذا عدو الله فعاده، ووال ولي هذا ولو أنه قاتل أبيك وولدك، وعاد عدو هذا ولو أنه أبوك وولدك.
56. We were told by Muhammed bin Qasem, the exegete, al-Jarjani, that he said: We were told by Yusuf bin Muhammed bin Ziyad, and Ali bin Muhammed bin Sinan, from their fathers, from Hasan bin Ali bin Muhammed bin Ali bin Musa bin Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Ali bin Hussain bin Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon them, from his father, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah (sw) said to some of his companions one day: O servant of Allah, love for the sake of Allah, hate for the sake of Allah, befriend for the sake of Allah and antagonize for the sake of Allah, for indeed, you will not attain the Guardianship of Allah except by that. A man will not find the taste of faith, even if his prayers and fasting are much, until he is like that. The fraternity between people on this day of yours has mostly become for the sake of this world, for whose sake they are affection, and for whose sake they hate. That will not avail them from Allah at all. Then the man said: O Messenger of Allah, and how can I know that I have befriended and antagonized for the sake of Allah? And who is the Ally of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, that I may befriend him? And who is His enemy that I may antagonize him? The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, then pointed for him towards Ali, peace be upon him, and said: Do you see him? He said: Sure. He said: The ally of him is an ally of Allah, so befriend him, and the enemy of him is the enemy of Allah, so antagonize him. Moreover, befriend the ally of him, even if he was to be the killer of your father and sons, and antagonize the enemy of him, even if he was to be your father and son
حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا أبو العباس عبد الرحمن بن محمد بن حماد، قال: حدثنا أبو سعيد يحيى بن حكيم، قال: حدثنا أبو قتيبة، قال: حدثنا الأصبغ ابن زيد، عن سعيد بن رافع، عن زيد بن علي عليه السلام، عن آبائه عليهم السلام، عن فاطمة بنت النبي عليهما السلام قالت: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: إن في الجمعة لساعة لا يراقبها رجل مسلم يسأل الله عز وجل فيها خيرا إلا أعطاه إياه. قالت: فقلت: يا رسول الله أي ساعة هي؟ قال: إذا تدلى نصف عين الشمس للغروب. قال: وكانت فاطمة عليها السلام تقول لغلامها: اصعد على الضراب فإذا رأيت نصف عين الشمس قد تدلى للغروب فأعلمني حتى أدعو.
57. We were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Abbas, Abdul-Rahman bin Muhammed bin Hammad, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, Yahya bin Hukaim, that he said: We were told by Abu Qutayba, that he said: We were told by Asbagh bin Zaid, from Sa’eed bin Rafe’, from Zaid bin Ali (a.s) from his fathers, peace be upon them, from Fatima, daughter of the Prophet (sa) that she said: I heard the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, say: Indeed, on Friday there is an hour that is not observed by a Muslim man in which he asks Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, for goodness, except that He will give it to him. She said: Then I said: O Messenger of Allah, what hour is it? He said: When the half of the sun’s eye sinks down for sunset. He said: Fatima (sa) used to say to her servant: Climb on the elevated rock, and if you see that half of the sun’s eye has sunken for sunset, notify me that I may supplicate.
حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد ابن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن محمد بن زياد، عن سيف بن عميرة، قال: قال الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: من لم يبال ما قال وما قيل فيه فهو شرك شيطان، ومن لم يبال أن يراه الناس [مسيئا] فهو شرك شيطان، ومن اغتاب أخاه المؤمن من غير ترة بينها فهو شرك شيطان، ومن شغف بمحبة الحرام وشهوة الزنا فهو شرك شيطان. ثم قال عليه السلام: إن لولد الزنا علامات: أحدها بغضنا أهل البيت، وثانيها أن يحن إلى الحرام الذي خلق منه، وثالثها الاستخفاف بالدين، ورابعها سوء المحضر للناس ولا يسيئ محضر إخوانه إلا من ولد على غير فراش أبيه أو من حملت به أمه في حيضها.
58. We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Masrur, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Muhammed ibn ‘Amer, from his paternal uncle, Abdullah bin ‘Amer, from Muhammed bin Ziyad, from Saif bin ‘Umayra, that he said: Al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, said: The one who does not care about what he says and what is said about him, is an associate of Shaytan. The one who does not care that people consider him to be a causer of harm, is an associate of Shaytan. The one who is fondly in love with the forbidden and lust for fornication, is an associate of Shaytan. He, peace be upon him, then said: Indeed, one who is begotten from fornication has signs: one of them is hatred towards us, the Household; a second of them is that he hankers for that from which he was created; a third of them is to take religion lightly; and a fourth of them is a bad manner of attendance with people, and that he does not attend badly with his brothers except with the one who is begotten from other than the mattress of his father or whose mother became pregnant with during her menstrual period.
حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق الطالقاني - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا عبد العزيز بن يحيى ، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن محمد الضبي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن هلال قال: حدثنا نائل بن نجيح، قال: حدثنا عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر الجعفي، قال: سألت أبا جعفر محمد بن علي الباقر عليهما السلام، عن قول الله عز وجل: " كشجرة طيبة أصلها ثابت و فرعها في السماء * تؤتي أكلها كل حين بإذن ربها " قال: أما الشجرة فرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وفرعها علي عليه السلام وغصن الشجرة فاطمة بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وثمرها أولادها عليهم السلام وورقها شيعتنا: ثم قال عليه السلام: إن المؤمن من شيعتنا ليموت فيسقط من الشجرة ورقة، وإن المولود من شيعتنا ليولد فتورق الشجرة ورقة.
59. We were told by Muhammed bin Ibrahim bin Ishaq al-Talaqani, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Abdul-Aziz bin Yahya, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Muhammed al-Dhubbi, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hilal, that he said: We were told by Na’el bin Nujaih, that he said: We were told by Amru bin Shimr, from Jabir al-Ju’fi, that he said: I asked Abu Ja’far, Muhammed bin Ali al-Baqir, peace be upon them both, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «like a good Tree whose root is firmly established and whose Branch is in Heaven? It brings its Fruit all the time, by the permission of its Lord.» (14:24-25) He said: As for the Tree, it is the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and its Branch is Ali (a.s) and the twig of the tree is Fatima, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (sw) and its Fruits are her sons, peace be upon them, and its Leaves are our party . He, peace be upon him, then said: Indeed, a believer from our party is surely to die, and a leaf will fall from the Tree, and indeed, a newborn from our party is surely born and the Tree grows a leaf.
حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن سعيد بن يحيى البزوفري، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم الهيثم [عن أمية] البلدي، قال: حدثنا أبي عن المعافا بن عمران، عن إسرائيل، عن المقدام بن شريج بن هانئ، عن أبيه شريج، قال: سأل أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام ابنه الحسن بن علي فقال: يا بني ما العقل؟ قال: حفظ قلبك ما استودعته. قال: فما الحزم؟ قال: أن تنتظر فرصتك وتعاجل ما أمكنك. قال: فما المجد؟ قال: حمل المغارم وابتناء المكارم. قال: فما السماحة؟ قال: إجابة السائل وبذل النائل. قال: فما الشح؟ قال: أن ترى القليل سرفا وما أنفقت تلفا. قال: فما الرقة؟ قال: طلب اليسير ومنع الحقير. قال: فما الكلفة؟ قال: التمسك بمن لا يؤمنك والنظر فيما لا يعنيك. قال: فما الجهل؟ قال: سرعة الوثوب على الفرصة قبل الاستمكان منها والامتناع عن الجواب، ونعم العون الصمت في مواطن كثيرة وإن كنت فصيحا. ثم أقبل صلوات الله عليه على الحسين ابنه عليه السلام فقال له: يا بني ما السؤدد؟ قال: اصطناع العشيرة واحتمال الجريرة. قال: فما الغنا؟ قال: قلة أمانيك والرضا بما يكفيك قال: فما الفقر؟ قال: الطمع وشدة القنوط. قال: فما اللوم؟ قال: إحراز المرء نفسه وإسلامه عرسه. قال: فما الخرق؟ قال: معاداتك أميرك ومن يقدر على ضرك ونفعك. ثم التفت إلى الحارث الأعور فقال: يا حارث علموا هذه الحكم أولادكم فإنها زيادة في العقل والحزم والرأي.
60. We were told by Muhammed bin Ibrahim bin Ishaq, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Sa’eed bin Yahya al-Buzawfari, that he said: We were told by Ibrahim bin Haitham, from Umayya al-Baladi, that he said: We were told by my father, from Mu’afa bin Imran, from Isra’eel, from Miqdam bin Shuraih bin Hani, from his father, Shuraih, that he said: The Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, asked his son, Hasan bin Ali, and said: O my son, what is the intellect? He said: That your heart preserves what you have stored. He said: And what is firmness? He said: That you wait for your chance and hasten as much as you are able to. He said: And what is glory? He said: To carry losses and to build noble traits. He said: And what is lenience? He said: To answer the requesting and to spend that which is obtained. He said: And what is avarice? He said: That you see the little as thriftlessness and that which you have spent as a waste. He said: And what is gentleness? He said: To seek the easy and to prevent the worthless. He said: And what is it to burden? He said: To adhere to that which does not assure you, and to look into that which does not concern you. He said: And what is ignorance? He said: To quickly jump onto a chance before consolidating oneself from (having to take) it, and to avoid an answer. A good assistant is silence in many occasions, even if you would be fluent. He, Allah’s blessings be upon him, then turned towards Hussain, his son, peace be upon him, and said to him: O my son, what is sovereignty? He said: To form a kin and to expect offenses. He said: And what is wealth? He said: That you have little desires and satisfaction with what is sufficient for you. He said: And what is poverty? He said: Covet and severe hopelessness. He said: And what is ignobility? He said: That an individual achieves himself and subjugates his spouse. He said: And what is violation? He said: That you antagonize your commander and the one who is able to harm you and benefit you. He then turned towards Harith, the half-blinded, and said: O Harith, teach these wisdoms to your children, for indeed, they are a means to increasement with regards to intellect, firmness and sound opinion.

Hence, if one of you observes it, it is upon him (to adhere to) two virtues: The Book of Allah, and Ali bin Abi Talib (as), for indeed, I heard the Prophet of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, say, while he had held the hand of Ali, peace be upon him: He is the first to have believed in me, and the first to handshake me on the Day of Resurrection. He is the Divider [1] of this nation, who divides between truth and falsehood. He is the Leader of the Believers, and property is the leader of oppressors. He is, indeed, the Greater Truthful , and he is my Door through I am approached, and he is my Successor after me.

He, peace be upon him, then said: The poor are the tribulations of Islam.
