وَ مِنْهُ أَیْضاً حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ سَیْفٍ عَنْ أَخِیهِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أُلْهِمَ الِاسْتِرْجَاعَ عِنْدَ الْمُصِیبَهِ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّهُ.

2. And from him too it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad from Ali b. Sayf from his brother from his father Sayf b. ’Umayra from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “When a person gets the inspiration of uttering Laa ilaaha illallaah at the time of calamity, Paradise becomes obligatory on him.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ یَحْیَی الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ الرَّازِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع یَقُولُ إِنِّی لَأَصْبِرُ مِنْ غُلَامِی هَذَا وَ مِنْ أَهْلِی عَلَی مَا هُوَ أَمَرُّ مِنَ الْحَنْظَلِ إِنَّهُ مَنْ صَبَرَ نَالَ بِصَبْرِهِ دَرَجَهَ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ وَ دَرَجَهَ الشَّهِیدِ الَّذِی قَدْ ضَرَبَ بِسَیْفِهِ قُدَّامَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) said, “I am bearing patiently the bitter behavior of this servant and my family regarding the matter of Hanzal. One who is patient, is like one who stays up at night for prayers, observes fast and one who is martyred while fighting alongside Muhammad (s.a.w.s.).

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زَیْدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ أَبِی بَکْرٍ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ الثُّمَالِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَبَرَ عَلَی مُصِیبَهٍ زَادَهُ اللَّهُ عِزّاً عَلَی عِزِّهِ وَ أَدْخَلَهُ جَنَّتَهُ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَیْتِهِ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Qasim from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah from al-Hussain b. al-Hassan b. Zayd from Ibrahim b. Abi Bakr from ’Asim from Abi Hamzah al-Thumali from Abi Ja’far al-Baqir (a.s.) who said: “One who remains patient on a calamity, Allah will increase his honor and make him enter Paradise along with the Holy Prophet and his Ahle Bayt (a.s.).

حَدَّثَنِی حَمْزَهُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَلَوِیُّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِیرَهِ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص التَّعْزِیَهُ تُورِثُ الْجَنَّهَ.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Saying words of condolence is a way to enter Paradise.”

وَ عَنْهُ ص قَالَ: مَنْ عَزَّی حَزِیناً کُسِیَ فِی الْمَوْقِفِ حُلَّهً یُجْبَرُ بِهَا.

2. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who says words of condolence to a sad person, will be awarded a fine dress to be worn on the Day of Judgment.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ رِفَاعَهَ بْنِ مُوسَی النَّخَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ عَزَّی رَجُلًا بِابْنٍ لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ اللَّهُ خَیْرٌ لِابْنِکَ مِنْکَ وَ ثَوَابُ اللَّهِ خَیْرٌ لَکَ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ جَزَعُهُ عَلَیْهِ عَادَ إِلَیْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَمَا لَکَ بِهِ أُسْوَهٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ کَانَ مُرَاهِقاً قَالَ إِنَّ أَمَامَهُ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ شَهَادَهَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ رَحْمَهَ اللَّهِ وَ شَفَاعَهَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَنْ یَفُوتَهُ وَاحِدَهٌ مِنْهُنَّ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) condoled a person for the death of his son and said, “The Holy Prophet has passed away from this world. Why don’t you see the good qualities of this great personality?” He replied, “My son was a sinner.” Imam (a.s.) said, “He has three things in front of him. God willing, he won’t waste any of them. Firstly, the testimony that there is no god except Allah, mercy of God and intercession of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.).”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: مَنْ عَزَّی مُصَاباً کَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِهِ مِنْ غَیْرِ أَنْ یَنْقُصَ مِنْ أَجْرِ الْمُصَابِ شَیْ ءٌ.

4. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi from his father from Wahab b. Wahab from Ja’far b. Muhammad al-Sadiq from his father from his forefathers (a.s.) from The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) who said: “One who condoles a person afflicted by calamity, will get reward equal to the latter while the reward of the latter won’t be reduced.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: کُنْتُ أَنَا وَ إِبْرَاهِیمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ فِی بَعْضِ الْمَقَابِرِ إِذْ جَاءَ إِلَی قَبْرٍ فَجَلَسَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ یَدَهُ عَلَی الْقَبْرِ فَقَرَأَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی صَاحِبُ الْقَبْرِ وَ هُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ بَزِیعٍ أَنَّهُ مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ مُؤْمِنٍ فَقَرَأَ عِنْدَهُ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ لِصَاحِبِ الْقَبْرِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar from Ahmad b. Muhammad who said: “It is the grave of Muhammad bin Ismail bin Bazee’, who had narrated a tradition that one who visits the grave of a believer and recites Surah Qadr seven times, Allah is responsible for the salvation of that person and the dead believer.”

أَبِی ره عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سَلَمَهَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ غِیَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِیمَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ عَلِیُّ بْنُ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنَهٍ یَضَعُ یَدَهُ عَلَی رَأْسِ یَتِیمٍ تَرَحُّماً لَهُ إِلَّا کَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِکُلِّ شَعْرَهٍ مَرَّتْ یَدُهُ عَلَیْهَا حَسَنَهً.

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “If a believing man or woman strokes the head of an orphan with mercy, Allah will grant him/her a light for each hair of the head of that orphan.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَنْکَرَ مِنْکُمْ قَسْوَهَ قَلْبِهِ فَلْیَدْنُ یَتِیماً فَیُلَاطِفُهُ وَ لْیَمْسَحْ رَأْسَهُ یَلِینُ قَلْبُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِلْیَتِیمِ حَقّاً وَ قَالَ فِی حَدِیثٍ آخَرَ یُقْعِدُهُ فِی خِوَانِهِ وَ یَمْسَحُ رَأْسَهُ یَلِینُ قَلْبُهُ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِکَ لَانَ قَلْبُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

2. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who is wary of his hard- heartedness and if he strokes the head of an orphan gently, he will become soft-hearted by the order of Allah and it is the right of an orphan.” It is narrated in another tradition that one should make orphans sit in ones gatherings and stroke their heads gently so that one can become soft- hearted. One becomes soft-hearted by the order of Allah as soon as he/she performs this deed.”
