1. [1/-] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Ali b. al-Hasan b. Ali b. Fadhal from Abbas b. `Amir from Aban b. Uthman from Shihab b. Abd Rabbi who said: I said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: may I be made your ransom – how do you feel this morning? he said: I have woken up repeating what was said by Abu al-Tufyal `Amir b. Wathila: There must undoubtedly be for the People of Truth a period of rule over the masses For which I am ever hopeful and constantly in wait He [al-Sadiq] said: by Allah I am one of those hoping and waiting.

[2/185] الخصال: محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد، عن محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب ويعقوب بن يزيد جميعا، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن معروف بن خربوذ، عن أبي الطفيل عامر بن واثلة، عن حذيفة بن أسيد الغفاري قال: لما رجع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من حجة الوداع ونحن معه أقبل حتى انتهى إلى الجحفة فأمر أصحابه بالنزول فنزل القوم منازلهم، ثم نودي بالصلاة فصلى بأصحابه ركعتين، ثم أقبل بوجهه إليهم فقال لهم: إنه قد نبأني اللطيف الخبير أني ميت وأنكم ميتون، وكأني قد دعيت فاجبت وأني مسؤول عما ارسلت به إليكم، وعما خلفت فيكم من كتاب الله وحجته وأنكم مسؤولون، فما أنتم قائلون لربكم؟ قالوا: نقول: قد بلغت ونصحت وجاهدت فجزاك الله عنا أفضل الجزاء ثم قال لهم: ألستم تشهدون أن لا إله إلا الله وأني رسول الله إليكم وأن الجنة حق؟ وأن النار حق؟ وأن البعث بعد الموت حق؟ فقالوا: نشهد بذلك، قال: اللهم اشهد على ما يقولون، ألا وإني اشهدكم أني أشهد أن الله مولاي، وأنا مولى كل مسلم، وأنا أولى بالمؤمنين من أنفسهم، فهل تقرون لي بذلك، وتشهدون لي به؟ فقالوا: نعم نشهد لك بذلك، فقال: ألا من كنت مولاه فإن عليا مولاه وهو هذا، ثم أخذ بيد علي عليه السلام فرفعها مع يده حتى بدت آباطهما ثم قال: اللهم وال من والاه، وعاد من عاداه، وانصر من نصره واخذل من خذله، ألا وإني فرطكم وأنتم واردون علي الحوض، حوضي غدا وهو حوض عرضه ما بين بصرى وصنعاء فيه أقداح من فضة عدد نجوم السماء، ألا وإني سائلكم غدا ماذا صنعتم فيما أشهدت الله به عليكم في يومكم هذا إذا وردتم علي حوضي، وماذا صنعتم بالثقلين من بعدي فانظروا كيف تكونون خلفتموني فيهما حين تلقوني قالوا: وما هذان الثقلان يا رسول الله؟ قال: أما الثقل الاكبر فكتاب الله عزوجل، سبب ممدود من الله ومني في أيديكم، طرفه بيد الله والطرف الآخر بأيديكم، فيه علم ما مضى وما بقي إلى أن تقوم الساعة، وأما الثقل الاصغر فهو حليف القرآن وهو علي بن أبي طالب و عترته عليهم السلام، وإنهما لن يفترقا حتى يردا علي الحوض. قال معروف بن خربوذ: فعرضت هذا الكلام على أبي جعفر عليه السلام فقال: صدق أبوالطفيل رحمه الله هذا الكلام وجدناه في كتاب علي عليه السلام وعرفناه

2. [2/185] al-Khisal: Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. al-Walid from Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. al-Husayn b. Abi al-Khattab and Ya`qub b. Yazid from Muhammad b. Abi Umayr from Abdallah b. Sinan from Ma`ruf b. Kharrabudh from Abi Tufayl `Amir b. Wathila from Hudhayfa b. Asid al-Ghiffari who said: We were with the messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله when he was returning from his farewell pilgrimage. He went forth until he reached Juhfa where he ordered his companions to decamp. The call for prayer was made and he led his companions in a two-unit prayer. After that he turned his face to them and said: The Kind and All-Aware has informed me that I am to die and you too will one day die. It is as though I have been called and have responded. I am to be asked about that which I was sent with for you and also what I leave behind in your midst including the Book of Allah and His proof – and you too shall be asked – so what are you going to reply to your Lord? They said: we will say ‘you have conveyed, counselled and struggled, so may Allah reward you on our behalf the best of rewards’. Then he said to them: do you bear witness that there is no God but Allah and that I am the messenger of Allah? that the Paradise is a reality, the Fire is a reality and the resurrection after death is reality? They said: we bear witness to that, he said: O Allah witness what they say. Behold! I make you witnesses that I myself bear witness that Allah is my Mawla, and that I am the Mawla of every Muslim, and that I have a greater claim over the believers than their own selves, do you admit to that and bear witness to it about me? They said: yes, we witness that to be true about you. He said: Behold! To whomsoever I am a Mawla then Ali is also his Mawla, and he is this one, and he took Ali by the hand and raised it with his own hand until their armpits became visible, then he said: O Allah – be a guardian to whomever takes him to be a guardian, and be an enemy to whomever takes him to be an enemy, aid the one who aids him and abandon the one who abandons him. Behold! I will proceed you but you will catch up with me at the reservoir – my Lake-fount – tomorrow. It is a Lake-fount whose breadth is like the distance between Busra and San`a. In it are goblets made of silver like the number of stars in the sky. Behold! I will ask you tomorrow about what you did in regards that which I made Allah bear witness to – over you – in this day of yours when you reach my Lake-fount. And also about what you did with regards the ‘Two Weighty Things’ after me, so take care of how you will preserve my legacy in them when you meet me. They said: and what are these ‘Two Weighty Things’ O the messenger of Allah? he said: as for the greater weighty thing then it is the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic, a rope extending from Allah and myself in your hands, one end of it is by the hand of Allah and the other end is in your hands, in it is the knowledge of what has passed and what is left until the Hour comes. As for the smaller weighty thing it is the ally of the Qur`an, and that is Ali b. Abi Talib and his descendants عليهم السلام – the two will not separate until they return to me at the Lake-fount. Ma`ruf b. Kharrabudh said: I relayed these words to Abi Ja`far عليه السلام so he said: Abu Tufayl has spoken the truth – may Allah have mercy on him – we have found this speech in the book of Ali and do recognize it.

[1/186] رجال الكشي: محمد بن مسعود، عن عبد الله بن محمد، عن الحسن بن علي الوشاء، عن ابن سنان قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: بينا أنا في الطواف إذا رجل يجذب ثوبي، فالتفت فإذا عباد البصري، قال: يا جعفر بن محمد تلبس مثل هذا الثوب و أنت في الموضع الذي أنت فيه من علي صلوات الله عليه قال: قلت: ويلك هذا ثوب قوهي أشتر بدينار و كسر، و كان علي عليه السلام في زمان يستقيم له ما لبس فيه، و لو لبست مثل ذلك اللباس في زماننا لقال الناس هذا مراء مثل عباد!

1. [1/186] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Abdallah b. Muhammad from al-Hasan b. Ali al-Washsha from Ibn Sinan who said: I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام saying: while I was making the Tawaf someone started pulling my garment. I turned to look at him and discovered that he was `Abbad al-Basri. He [`Abbad] said: O Ja`far bin Muhammad – you wear this type of cloth while you are who you are in terms of your close relation with Ali صلوات الله عليه [i.e. are his descendant]? He عليه السلام said: I said to him – woe be upon you, this is a cloth from Kuhistan that I have bought by a Dinar and a few [Dirhams], Ali عليه السلام was in an age wherein what he wore was befitting for it, but if I were to wear a similar type of attire in this age the people would say – this one is a pretender of piety [show off] like `Abbad!

[1/187] تهذيب الاحكام: باسناده عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى عن العباس بن معروف عن علي بن مهزيار عن محمد بن اسماعيل بن بزيع قال: ان رجلا من اصحابنا مات ولم يوص فرفع امره إلى قاضي الكوفة فصير عبدالحميد بن سالم القيم بماله وكان رجلا خلف ورثة صغارا ومتاعا وجواري، فباع عبدالحميد المتاع فلما اراد بيع الجواري ضعف قلبه في بيعهن ولم يكن الميت صير اليه وصيته وكان قيامه بها بامر القاضي لانهن فروج قال محمد: فذكرت ذلك لابي جعفر عليه السلام فقلت: جعلت فداك يموت الرجل من اصحابنا فلا يوصي إلى أحد وخلف جوارى فيقيم القاضي رجلا منا لبيعهن أو قال يقوم بذلك رجل منا فيضعف قلبه لانهن فروج فما ترى في ذلك؟ فقال: اذا كان القيم مثلك ومثل عبدالحميد فلا باس

1. [1/187] Tahdhib al-Ahkam: Via his chain to Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Abbas b. Ma`ruf from Ali b. Mahziyar from Muhammad b. Ismail b. Bazi` who said: a man from among our companions [fellow Shia] died and did not leave a will. His case was referred to the judge [Qadhi] of Kufa [a Sunni] who appointed Abd al-Hamid b. Salim as the supervisor of his [the dead man’s] wealth. The man had left behind small children as inheritors, some house-hold items and slave-women. Abd al-Hamid sold the items but when he wanted to sell off the slave-women his heart had misgivings about selling them because they were Furuj [had had a relation of a sexual nature with the master] and the deceased had not appointed him as executor of his will – the matter had only fallen to him because of the order of the judge. Muhammad said: I relayed this to Abi Ja`far عليه السلام and said: may I be made your ransom – a man from among our companions dies without willing to anyone and has left behind slave-women, it happens that the judge appoints a man from among us to over-see their sale but his heart has misgivings because they are Furuj – what is your ruling about that? he said: if the supervisor is someone like you or Abd al-Hamid then there is no problem.

1. [89/188] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh from Muhammad b. Isa from Safwan from Hammad al-Nab who said: I said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام: Abdallah b. Abi Ya`fur sends you greetings of peace, he said: and upon him be peace.

[90/189] رجال الكشي: حمدويه بن نصير، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن سعيد بن جناح، عن عدة من أصحابنا و قال العبيدي حدثني به أيضا عن ابن أبي عمير: أن ابن أبي يعفور و معلى بن خنيس كانا بالنيل على عهد أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فاختلفا في ذبائح اليهود، فأكل معلى و لم يأكل ابن أبي يعفور، فلما صارا إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أخبراه، فرضي بفعل ابن أبي يعفور و خطا المعلى في أكله إياه

2. [90/189] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh b. Nusayr from Muhammad b. Isa b. Ubayd from Sa`id b. Janah from a number of our companions [al-Ubaydi said: Ibn Abi Umayr also narrated this to me]: Ibn Abi Ya`fur and Mu`alla b. Khunays were travelling by the Nile in the time of Abi Abdillah عليه السلام when they differed over eating the meat slaughtered by Jews. Mu`alla ate it but Ibn Abi Ya`fur did not. They informed Abi Abdillah عليه السلام of this when they met him, he was pleased with what Ibn Abi Ya`fur had done and rebuked al-Mu`alla for eating it.

[1/190] ارشاد المفيد: ابن قولويه، عن الكليني، عن محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن أبي يحيى الواسطي، عن هشام بن سالم قال: كنا بالمدينة بعد وفاة أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أنا ومحمد بن النعمان صاحب الطاق، والناس مجتمعون عند عبد الله بن جعفر أنه صاحب الامر بعد أبيه، فدخلنا عليه والناس عنده فسألناه عن الزكاة في كم تجب؟ قال: في مائتين درهم خمسة دراهم، فقلنا ففي مائة درهم؟ قال: درهمان ونصف، قلنا: والله ما تقول المرجئة هذا فقال: والله ما أدري ما تقول المرجئة، قال: فخرجنا ضلالا … قلت: جعلت فداك إن عبد الله أخاك يزعم أنه الامام بعد أبيه فقال: عبد الله يريد أن لا يعبد الله … وبقي عبد الله لا يدخل إليه من الناس إلا قليل

1. [1/190] Irshad al-Mufid: Ibn Qulawayh from al-Kulayni from Muhammad b. Yahya from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from Abi Yahya al-Wasiti from Hisham b. Salim who said: Muhammad b. al-Nu`man Sahib al-Taq and I were in Madina after the death of Abi Abdillah عليه السلام and the people had gathered around Abdallah b. Ja`far – considering him to be the master of the affair after his father. We entered in to meet him while the people were with him, we asked him about the Zakat – at what amount is it to be levied? He said: five silver coins for every two hundred, we said: what about in a hundred silver coins? he said: two and a half silver coins, we said: by Allah this is what the Murjia say! he said: by Allah I do not even know what the Murjia say! He [Hisham] said: so we came out feeling lost … I said: may I be made your ransom, your brother Abdallah claims that he is the Imam after his father, he [al-Kadhim] said: Abdallah wants that Allah not be worshipped … and the people abandoned Abdallah and no one entered in to see him except very few.

[1/191] رجال الكشي: حمدويه بن نصير، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن الحسن بن علي بن يقطين – و كان سيئ الرأي في يونس رحمه الله – قال: قيل لأبي الحسن عليه السلام و أنا أسمع: أن يونس مولى آل يقطين يزعم أن مولاكم و المتمسك بطاعتكم عبد الله بن جندب يعبد الله على سبعين حرفا، و يقول إنه شاك قال: فسمعته يقول: هو و الله أولى بأن يعبد الله على حرف ما له و لعبد الله بن جندب إن عبد الله بن جندب لمن المخبتين

1. [1/191] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh b. Nusayr from Ya`qub b. Yazid from al-Hasan b. Ali b. Yaqtin – and he had a negative opinion of Yunus may Allah have mercy on him – said: it was said to Abi al-Hasan عليه السلام while I was listening: Yunus the client of the family of Yaqtin claims that your follower and the one who holds on to your obedience – Abdallah b. Jundab – worships Allah on seventy edges [allusion to Q. 22:11] and also says that he [Abdallah] is a doubter, so I heard him [the Imam] saying: he [Yunus] is by Allah more likely to worship Allah on the edge, what does he have to do with Abdallah b. Jundab! verily Abdallah b. Jundab is one of the humble ones [allusion to Q 22:34].

1. [1/192] Iqbal of Sayyid Radhi al-Diin Ali b. Tawus: Via a number of his chains to Abi Ja’far al-Tusi from al-Mufid Muhammad b. Muhammad b. al-Nu’man and al-Husayn b. Ubaydallah from Abi Ja’far Muhammad b. Ali b. al-Husayn b. Babawayh from Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. al-Walid from Muhammad b. al-Hasan al-Saffar from Muhammad b. al-Husayn b. Abi al-Khattab from Muhammad b. Abi Umayr from Ishaq b. Ammar who said: Aba Abdillah Ja’far b. Muhammad عليهما السلام wrote a letter of condolence to Abdallah b. al-Hasan – may Allah be pleased with him – for what had happened to him when he was deported together with the people of his household: In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful, to the righteous successor and the pure descendant from the son of his brother and uncle: now then, if you and the people of your house who were deported together with you are alone in that which has befallen you, then know that you are not alone in grief, anger, sadness and pain of a suffering heart, for I too have been touched with anxiety, worry and the heat of tribulation [for what has happened to you] as has touched you … So I recommend you – O uncle and the son of an uncle, the children of my uncles and my brothers – towards patience, acceptance, submission and leaving the matter to Allah Mighty and Majestic. Be accepting and patient over His decree, holding on to His obedience, alighting as per His order. May Allah pour upon you and us patience. May He conclude for you and us with reward and felicity. May He save you and us from every peril. By His Might and Power. Verily He is All-Hearing Near. May Allah send blessings on his select among his creation Muhammad the prophet and the people of his House.
