3115 - وَ قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : «إِذَا كَانَ أَيَّامُ اَلْمَوْسِمِ بَعَثَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ اَللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَلاَئِكَةً فِي صُوَرِ اَلْآدَمِيِّينَ يَشْتَرُونَ مَتَاعَ اَلْحَاجِّ وَ اَلتُّجَّارِ» قِيلَ مَا يَصْنَعُونَ بِهِ قَالَ «يُلْقُونَهُ فِي اَلْبَحْرِ ».
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ اَلْعَمْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَ اَللَّهِ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرِ لَيَحْضُرُ اَلْمَوْسِمَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ يَرَى اَلنَّاسَ وَ يَعْرِفُهُمْ وَ يَرَوْنَهُ وَ لاَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ.
رُوِيَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْحِمْيَرِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ اَلْعَمْرِيَّ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ رَأَيْتَ صَاحِبَ هَذَا اَلْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ آخِرُ عَهْدِي بِهِ عِنْدَ بَيْتِ اَللَّهِ اَلْحَرَامِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ « اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي».
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ أَرْضَاهُ: وَ رَأَيْتُهُ صَلَوَاتُ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مُتَعَلِّقاً بِأَسْتَارِ اَلْكَعْبَةِ فِي اَلْمُسْتَجَارِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ: « اَللَّهُمَّ اِنْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ ».
Hadith.3115 - Ja'far ibn Muhammad Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"During the days of the Hajj season, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, sends angels in the form of humans to purchase the goods of the pilgrims and merchants."
It was asked: "What do they do with these goods?"
Imam (as) replied: "They cast them into the sea."
It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Umari (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him) that he said:
"By Allah (swt), the Master of this Affair (Imam Al-Mahdi {ajf}, peace be upon him) attends the Hajj season every year. He sees the people, knows them, and they see him but do not recognize him."
It is also narrated from Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Himyari, who said: "I asked Muhammad ibn Uthman al-Umari (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him), 'Have you seen the Master of this Affair?'
He replied: 'Yes, and my last encounter with him was at the Sacred House of Allah (swt), as he was saying: O Allah (swt), fulfill for me what You have promised me.'"
Muhammad ibn Uthman (may Allah (swt) be pleased with him and may Allah (swt) bless him) further said: "I saw Him {ajf} clinging to the curtains of the Kaaba at Al-Multazam, saying: O Allah (swt), take vengeance for me against Your enemies."
3116 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ اَلرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ لِيَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ مَالٌ قَدْ خِفْتُ تَوَاهُ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي «إِذَا صِرْتَ بِمَكَّةَ فَطُفْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَلْمُطَّلِبِ طَوَافاً وَ صَلِّ عَنْهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ طُفْ عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ طَوَافاً وَ صَلِّ عَنْهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ طُفْ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ طَوَافاً وَ صَلِّ عَنْهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ طُفْ عَنْ آمِنَةَ أُمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ طَوَافاً وَ صَلِّ عَنْهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ طُفْ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَسَدٍ طَوَافاً وَ صَلِّ عَنْهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اُدْعُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْكَ مَالَكَ» قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ مِنْ بَابِ اَلصَّفَا فَإِذَا غَرِيمِي وَاقِفٌ يَقُولُ يَا دَاوُدُ حَبَسْتَنِي تَعَالَ فَاقْبِضْ مَالَكَ.
Hadith.3116 - It is narrated from Dawood al-Raqqi, who said: I went to Abu Abdullah (as) while I was owed money by a man, and I feared it would be lost. I complained about this to him, and he said to me:
"When you are in Mecca, perform a Tawaf (circumambulation) on behalf of Abdul Muttalib and pray two Rak'ahs for him. Perform a Tawaf on behalf of Abu Talib and pray two Rak'ahs for him. Perform a Tawaf on behalf of Abdullah and pray two Rak'ahs for him. Perform a Tawaf on behalf of Amina, the mother of Muhammad, and pray two Rak'ahs for her. Perform a Tawaf on behalf of Fatimah bint Asad and pray two Rak'ahs for her. Then, supplicate to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Exalted, to return your money to you."
He continued: "I did as he instructed and then left through the gate of Safa. There, I found my debtor standing and saying: 'O Dawood, you detained me. Come and take your money.'"
