حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیُّ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْأَسَدِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَهُودِیّاً قِیلَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ الشَّهَادَتَیْنِ قَالَ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّمَا احْتَجَبَ بِهَاتَیْنِ الْکَلِمَتَیْنِ عِنْدَ سَفْکِ دَمِهِ أَوْ یُؤَدِّیَ إِلَیَّ الْجِزْیَهَ وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ یَهُودِیّاً قِیلَ وَ کَیْفَ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنْ أَدْرَکَ الدَّجَّالَ آمَنَ بِهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from al-Fadhl b. Salih al-Asadi from Muhammad b. Marwan from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “A person who hates our Ahle Bayt will be resurrected as a Jew.” He was asked as to why it is so. He replied, “Because if they live in the age of Dajjal, they will start following his religion.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِیدِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْهَیْثَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ الْجُعْفِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا یُبْغِضُنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ أَجْذَمَ.

2. It is narrated from Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “People who hate us, Ahle Bayt will be raised on the Day of Judgment as lepers (having no hands).”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَمَّنْ ذَکَرَهُ عَنِ الْخَثْعَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الصَّامِتِ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّی بْنِ خُنَیْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا مُعَلَّی لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ مِائَهَ عَامٍ بَیْنَ الرُّکْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ یَصُومُ نَهَاراً وَ یَقُومُ لَیْلًا حَتَّی یَسْقُطَ حَاجِبَاهُ عَلَی عَیْنَیْهِ وَ تَلْتَقِیَ تَرَاقِیهِ هوما [هَرَماً] جَاهِلًا بِحَقِّنَا لَمْ یَکُنْ لَهُ ثَوَابٌ.

1. The narrator says that Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) told him, “O Mualla! Even if one prays between rukn and maqaam for a hundred years continuously, fasting during the day and passing nights in Qiyam and prostrating so much so that his brows hang in front of his eyes, his back stoops but he is unaware of our rights, there is no reward for him.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِی نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ: قَالَ لَنَا عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ ع أَیُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ ابْنُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْبِقَاعِ مَا بَیْنَ الرُّکْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا عُمِّرَ مَا عُمِّرَ نُوحٌ ع فِی قَوْمِهِ- أَلْفَ سَنَهٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِینَ عاماً یَصُومُ نَهَاراً وَ یَقُومُ لَیْلًا فِی ذَلِکَ الْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ لَقِیَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَیْرِ وَلَایَتِنَا لَمْ یَنْتَفِعْ بِذَلِکَ شَیْئاً.

2. 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 Abdulrahman b. Abi Najran from ’Asim from Abi Hamzah who said: “The best place is the area between rukn and maqaam. One who gets a life as long as that of prophet Nuh i.e. of 95 years, and if he fasts during the day and offers prayers at this best place at night for his whole life and if he goes to Allah without our love, he will not get benefit of any of his deeds.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ عُقْبَهَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مَیْسَرَهَ قَالَ: کُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ عِنْدَهُ فِی الْفُسْطَاطِ نَحْوٌ مِنْ خَمْسِینَ رَجُلًا فَجَلَسَ بَعْدَ سُکُوتٍ مِنَّا طَوِیلًا فَقَالَ مَا لَکُمْ لَعَلَّکُمْ تَرَوْنَ أَنِّی نَبِیُّ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَنَا کَذَلِکَ وَ لَکِنْ لِی قَرَابَهٌ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ وِلَادَهٌ فَمَنْ وَصَلَنَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ حَرَمَنَا حَرَمَهُ اللَّهُ أَ تَدْرُونَ أَیُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَهً فَلَمْ یَتَکَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا وَ کَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ قَالَ ذَلِکَ مَکَّهُ الْحَرَامُ الَّتِی رَضِیَهَا اللَّهُ لِنَفْسِهِ حَرَماً وَ جَعَلَ بَیْتَهُ فِیهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرُونَ أَیُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ فِیهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُرْمَهً فَلَمْ یَتَکَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا فَکَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ ذَلِکَ الْمَسْجِدُ الْحَرَامُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرُونَ أَیُّ بُقْعَهٍ فِی الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُرْمَهً فَلَمْ یَتَکَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا فَکَانَ هُوَ الرَّادُّ عَلَی نَفْسِهِ قَالَ ذَلِکَ مَا بَیْنَ الرُّکْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْمَقَامِ وَ بَابِ الْکَعْبَهِ وَ ذَلِکَ حَطِیمُ إِسْمَاعِیلَ ع ذَلِکَ الَّذِی کَانَ یَذُودُ غُنَیْمَاتِهِ وَ یُصَلِّی فِیهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً صَفَّ قَدَمَیْهِ فِی ذَلِکَ الْمَکَانِ قَامَ لَیْلًا مُصَلِّیاً حَتَّی یَجِیئَهُ النَّهَارُ وَ صَامَ حَتَّی یَجِیئَهُ اللَّیْلُ وَ لَمْ یَعْرِفْ حَقَّنَا وَ حُرْمَتَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ لَمْ یَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ شَیْئاً أَبَداً.

3. The narrator was in the company of Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) and there were about fifty people sitting there. After a long pause, Imam (a.s.) prompted, “What has happened to you? Probably you are thinking that I am a prophet of Allah. I swear by Allah that it is not so and I am in relation with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) and I am from his progeny. Whoever does good to us will receive goodness from God. Allah will love one who loves us. Allah will deprive one who deprives us. Do you know which part of land is best in position near Allah?” Everyone remained silent. Imam (a.s.) continued, “This holy Mecca is the land most liked by Allah. He made it His Sanctuary and considered it as His house. Do you know which part of Mecca is most honored?” Everyone remained silent and Imam (a.s.) replied himself, “Masjidul Haraam is the most honored part of Mecca. Do you know which place of Masjidul Haraam is most honored by Allah?” Everyone kept quiet and Imam (a.s.) replied himself once again, “That place is between rukn-e-Aswad, maqaam-e-Ibrahim and the door of Kaaba. This is the place of Hateem of Ismail. He had given his sacrifice over here and offered Salaat. I swear by Allah that one who offers prayers at this place standing all night and fasts during day but if he is unaware of our rights and greatness of we, Ahle Bayt, Allah will never accept any of his deeds.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ الْعَظِیمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ کَانَ مَرِیضاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عِیسَی بْنِ السَّرِیِّ الیسری قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ مَاتَ لَا یَعْرِفُ إِمَامَهُ مَاتَ مِیتَهً جَاهِلِیَّهً قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَحْوَجُ مَا یَکُونُ إِلَی مَعْرِفَتِهِ إِذَا بَلَغَ نَفْسُهُ هَکَذَا وَ أَشَارَ بِیَدِهِ إِلَی صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ کُنْتُ عَلَی أَمْرٍ حَسَنٍ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Abi Abdillah al-Barqi who said it was narrated to me by Abdul-Adheem b. Abdillah and was ill from Muhammad b. Umar from Hamad b. Uthman from Isa b. al-Sarri al-Yusra who said: “When the state reaches here you will need it (recognition of Imam) much. Your thinking is good regarding this.”

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی الْمِعْزَی عَنْ ذَرِیحٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مِنَّا الْإِمَامُ الْمَفْرُوضُ طَاعَتُهُ مَنْ جَحَدَهُ مَاتَ یَهُودِیّاً أَوْ نَصْرَانِیّاً وَ اللَّهِ مَا تُرِکَ الْأَرْضُ مُنْذُ قَبَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آدَمَ ع إِلَّا وَ فِیهَا إِمَامٌ یُهْتَدَی بِهِ إِلَی اللَّهِ حُجَّهً عَلَی الْعِبَادِ مَنْ تَرَکَهُ هَلَکَ وَ مَنْ لَزِمَهُ نَجَا حَقّاً عَلَی اللَّهِ.

2. And from the previous chain from Ahmad b. Abi al-Mi’za from Dharih from Abi Hamzah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “We are the Imams whose obedience is obligatory. One who denies us, will die as a Jew or a Christian. I swear by Allah, this earth is not deprived of a guiding Imam since the passing away of Prophet Adam (a.s.). They are proofs of Allah on His servants. Whoever kept away from them were destroyed and Allah guarantees salvation for those who obey them.”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْیَرِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ حَبِیبٍ السِّجِسْتَانِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ [لَأُعَذِّبَنَ] إن کانت کُلَّ رَعِیَّهٍ فِی الْإِسْلَامِ أَطَاعَتْ إِمَاماً جَائِراً لَیْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ کَانَتِ الرَّعِیَّهُ فِی أَعْمَالِهَا بَرَّهً تَقِیَّهً فلأعفون [وَ لَأَعْفُوَنَ] عَنْ کُلِّ رَعِیَّهٍ فِی الْإِسْلَامِ أَطَاعَتْ إِمَاماً هَادِیاً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ کَانَتِ الرَّعِیَّهُ فِی أَعْمَالِهَا ظَالِمَهً مُسِیئَهً.

1. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) narrates that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Allah, the Mighty and Sublime said: Whoever from the Muslim community obeys an unjust ruler not appointed by Allah, Allah will send chastisement on him even if there are good deeds of that community and even if the people are pious. Whoever from the Muslim community obeys the guide appointed by Allah, Allah will surely forgive him even if he has injustice and sins written in his scroll of deeds.”

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَوْهَرِیِّ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ أَبِی الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِی الْعَزْرَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ رَفَعَ الْحَدِیثَ إِلَی رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْماً وَ فِیهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ وَ أَفْقَهُ لَمْ یَزَلْ أَمْرُهُمْ إِلَی سقال [سَفَالٍ] إِلَی یَوْمِ الْقِیَامَهِ.

1. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “One who assumes the responsibility of the community in spite of the presence of learned scholars and jurists, shall be in the base level (of Hell).”

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَمِّی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ الْأَسَدِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّی أَحَدُکُمْ وَ لَمْ یُصَلِّ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ ص خُطِئَ بِهِ طَرِیقَ الْجَنَّهِ. وَ قَالَ النَّبِیُّ ص مَنْ ذُکِرْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَنَسِیَ الصَّلَاهَ عَلَیَّ خُطِئَ بِهِ طَرِیقَ الْجَنَّهِ.

1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali Majluwayh who said it was narrated to me by my uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from al-Muffadhal b. Salih al-Asadi from Muhammad b. Harun from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If I am mentioned in someone’s presence and he does not recite durood, he has lost the way of Paradise.”
