حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُوسَی بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زَیْدٍ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ عَنْ أَبِی بَصِیرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مُدْمِنُ الْخَمْرِ کَعَابِدِ الْوَثَنِ وَ النَّاصِبُ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ وَ مَنْ أَشَرُّ مِنْ عَابِدِ الْوَثَنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ شَارِبَ الْخَمْرِ تُدْرِکُهُ الشَّفَاعَهُ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ وَ إِنَّ النَّاصِبَ لَوْ شَفَعَ فِیهِ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ لَمْ یُشَفَّعُوا.
1. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to me by Musa b. ’Imran from al-Hassan b. Zayd from Ali b. Abi Hamzah from Abi Basir who said: “A person who drinks alcohol excessively is like an idol worshipper and the enemy of the progeny of Muhammad is worse than him.” The narrator asked, “May I be sacrificed for you, why is he worse than an idol worshipper?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “The intercession of an alcoholic is possible at some point but even if all the creatures of the earth and the heavens unite to intercede for an enemy of Ahle Bayt, their intercession will not be accepted.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ عَنْ عُتْبَهَ بَیَّاعِ الْقَصَبِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الْجَنَّهَ لَتَشْتَاقُ لِأَحِبَّاءِ عَلِیٍّ وَ تَشْتَدُّ ضَوْؤُهَا لِأَحِبَّاءِ عَلِیٍّ ع وَ هُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا قَبْلَ أَنْ یَدْخُلُوهَا وَ إِنَّ النَّارَ تَتَغَیَّظُ وَ تَشْتَدُّ زَفِیرُهَا عَلَی أَعْدَاءِ عَلِیٍّ ع وَ هُمْ فِی الدُّنْیَا قَبْلَ أَنْ یَدْخُلُوهَا.
2. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.s.) said, “Paradise awaits the arrival of those who love Ali (a.s.) in this world and it awaits to increase the light for the lovers of Ali (a.s.). Similarly Hell awaits the enemies of Ali in this world with horrible sounds.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِیسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی ابْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّارِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی نَصْرٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سَعِیدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع کُلُّ نَاصِبٍ وَ إِنْ تَعَبَّدَ وَ اجْتَهَدَ یَصِیرُ إِلَی أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الْآیَهِ- عامِلَهٌ ناصِبَهٌ تَصْلی ناراً حامِیَهً
3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The enemy of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) is an example of that verse that: Laboring, toiling. Entering into burning fire (of Hell).”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِیمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ [عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ] عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَیْسَ النَّاصِبُ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ لِأَنَّکَ لَمْ تَجِدْ رَجُلًا یَقُولُ أَنَا النَّاصِبُ [أُبْغِضُ] مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَکِنَّ النَّاصِبَ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَکُمْ وَ هُوَ یَعْلَمُ أَنَّکُمْ تَتَوَالَوْنَا وَ أَنَّکُمْ مِنْ شِیعَتِنَا.
4. And from the previous chain from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Ibrahim b. Ishaq from Abdillah b. Hamad [Abdillah b. Sinan] from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “One who is inimical of we. Ahle Bayt (a.s.) is not a Nasibi because there is no such unfortunate person in this world who says that he is inimical and hateful to Muhammad and his progeny. Rather, Nasibi is one who has enmity with you because he knows that you love us and are our Shias.”
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بَکْرٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْیَنَ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَوْ أَنَّ کُلَّ مَلَکٍ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ کُلَّ نَبِیٍّ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ وَ کُلَّ صِدِّیقٍ وَ کُلَّ شَهِیدٍ شَفَعُوا فِی نَاصِبٍ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ أَنْ یُخْرِجَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ النَّارِ مَا أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ أَبَداً وَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ یَقُولُ فِی کِتَابِهِ- ماکِثِینَ فِیهِ أَبَداً
5. And from the previous chain from Abdillah b. Hamad from Abdillah b. Bakr from Hamran b. A’yan from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “Even if all angels created by Almighty Allah, all prophets, truthful ones and martyrs try to intercede for an enemy of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) so that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime takes him out of Hell, Allah will never take him out of Hell. And Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, says in the Holy Quran, “Staying in it (Hell) for ever.”22
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ لَمْ یَعْرِفْ سُوءَ مَا أُوتِیَ إِلَیْنَا مِنْ ظُلْمِنَا وَ ذَهَابِ حَقِّنَا وَ مَا نُکِبْنَا بِهِ فَهُوَ شَرِیکُ مَنْ أَبَی إِلَیْنَا فِیمَا وَلَّیْنَاهُ.
6. And from the previous chain from Abdillah b. ’Amru b. Shimr from Jabir from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said: “One who is unaware of misbehavior and injustice to us and usurpation of our rights and does not think of them as wrong deeds, is a supporter of those who oppress us.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الدَّارِیُّ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ بْنِ رُشَیْدٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: یُحْشَرُ الْمُرْجِئَهُ عُمْیَاناً وَ إِمَامُهُمْ أَعْمَی فَیَقُولُ بَعْضُ مَنْ یَرَاهُمْ مِنْ غَیْرِ أُمَّتِنَا مَا نَرَی أُمَّهَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا عُمْیَاناً فَیُقَالُ لَهُمْ لَیْسُوا مِنْ أُمَّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّهُمْ بَدَّلُوا فَبُدِّلَ بِهِمْ وَ غَیَّرُوا فَغَیَّرْنَا بِهِمْ.
7. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ahmad who said it was narrated to me by Abu Abdillah al-Dari from Ali b. Sulayman b. Rasheed who raised it to Ameer al-Mumineen Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) who said: “The Murjiah people and their leader would be gathered blind and on seeing them the infidels would say that the whole Ummah of Muhammad is gathered blind. They will be told: These are not the followers of Muhammad. They had changed certain things and hence they themselves are changed now.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِیسَی عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ کَثِیرٍ الْمَدَائِنِیِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِی سَعِیدٍ الْبَلْخِیِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع یَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِی کُلِّ وَقْتٍ صَلَاهً یُصَلِّیهَا مُصَلِّیهَا أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ رَحْمَهً لِعِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَ الْمُعْتَقِدِینَ وَ فِی بَعْضِ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ یَلْعَنُهُمْ قَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاکَ وَ لِمَ قَالَ بِجُحُودِهِمْ حَقَّنَا وَ تَکْذِیبِهِمْ إِیَّانَا.
8. It is narrated that Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s.) said, “Just as Allah, the Mighty and Sublime showers mercy on His believing servants at the time of Prayers, He also curses some people.” He was asked, “Why are some people cursed?” He replied, “Because they deny our rights and falsify us.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَابِدٍ عَنْ أَبِی حُذَیْفَهَ [خَدِیجَهَ] عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: یُؤْتَی یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ بِإِبْلِیسَ مَعَ مُضِلِّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّهِ فِی زِمَامَیْنِ غِلَظُهُمَا مِثْلُ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ فَیُسْحَبَانِ عَلَی وُجُوهِهِمَا فَیَنْسَدُّ بِهِمَا بَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ.
9. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Hassan b. Ali al-Washa from Ahmad b. ’Abid from Abi Hudhayfa [Khadija’] from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “On the Day of Judgment the cursed Iblees and the misguided people of the Ummah will be brought pulled by their nose. Their group will equal the size of Mt. Ohad. They will be thrown into Hell face down. By this, a door of Hell will be closed.”
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَبَّادُ بْنُ سُلَیْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَیْمَانَ الدَّیْلَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِیهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هَلْ أَتاکَ حَدِیثُ الْغاشِیَهِ قَالَ یَغْشَاهُمُ الْقَائِمُ ع بِالسَّیْفِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وُجُوهٌ یَوْمَئِذٍ خاشِعَهٌ قَالَ تَقُولُ خَاضِعَهٌ وَ لَا تُطِیقُ الِامْتِنَاعَ قَالَ قُلْتُ عامِلَهٌ قَالَ عَمِلَتْ بِغَیْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْتُ ناصِبَهٌ قَالَ نَصَبَتْ لِغَیْرِ وُلَاهِ الْأَمْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ تَصْلی ناراً حامِیَهً قَالَ تَصْلَی نَارَ الْحَرْبِ فِی الدُّنْیَا عَلَی عَهْدِ الْقَائِمِ ع وَ فِی الْآخِرَهِ جَهَنَّمَ.
10. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan who said it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. al-Hassan al-Saffar who said it was narrated to me by ’Abaad b. Sulayman from Muhammad b. Sulayman al-Daylami from his father who said: The narrator asked Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) the meaning of this verse: Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? Imam (a.s.) replied, “The Qaim of the progeny of Muhammad (s.a.w.s.) will destroy them with his sword.” The narrator asked, “What is the meaning of the verse: (Some) faces on that day shall be downcast? Imam (a.s.) replied, “It means that they will be humble and will not be able to fight.” The narrator asked, “What is the meaning of ‘Laboring’?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Their deeds will not be according to divine command.” The narrator asked, “What is meant by ‘toiling’?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Those appointed without the permission of the Imam and those who are not capable but were appointed as imams.” The narrator asked, “What is the meaning of ‘Entering into burning fire?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “They will face the battle of fire during the rule of the Qaim of the progeny of Muhammad and will become the fuel of the fire of Hell in the hereafter.”
