you to chose between three, therefore choose one and leave two’. So Adam as said to
himas: ‘O Jibraeelas! And what are the three?’ So heas said: ‘The intellect, and the
decency, and the Religion’. So Adamas said: ‘So Ias choose the intellect’. So
Jibraeelas said to the decency and the Religion: ‘Disperse and leave him as’. So they
both said: ‘O Jibraeelas, we have been Commanded that we should be with the
intellect wherever it may be’. Heas said: ‘So it is up to you’. And heas left’.2

Mansour Al Wasity, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws having said:
‘Allahazwj did not Send a Prophetas at all except as an intellectual, and some
Prophetsas being more preferable than othersas. And Dawoodas did not leave behind
Suleymanas until heas had tested hisas Intellect. And when Dawoodas left behind
Suleymanas he was a son of thirteen years old. And Zulqarnayn became king when
he was a son of twelve years of age, and remained in his kingdom for thirty years’. 9

Ubeydullah Bin Al Waleed Al Wazafy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Musaas saw a man from the
Children of Israel performing lengthy Prostrations, and (maintaining) lengthy silence.
So heas went very near to the place and was with him. So he saww was with him for
one day from the days, regarding one of hisas needs, when they passed by a land
wich was plush and green. So the man sighed. So Musa as said to him: ‘And what is
that which makes you sigh?’ He said, ‘I wish that there was a donkey from my
Lordazwj, so it would graze over here’. Musa as looked at the land for a long time,
being distressed at what he heard from him. So the Revelation came unto himas:
“What is that which makes youas to be aggrieved from the speech of Myazwj servant?
Iazwj will Seize Myazwj servants in accordance of what Iazwj have Given them of the
intellect’.10
‫ فنوم‬،‫ ما قسم هللا للعباد شيئا أفضل من العقل‬:‫ قال رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وآله‬:‫ رفعه قال‬،‫ عن بعض أصحابنا‬،‫عنه‬
،‫ وأقامة العاقل أفضل من شخوص الجاهل‬،‫ وإفطار العاقل أفضل من صوم الجاهل‬،‫العاقل أفضل من سهر الجاهل‬
From him, from one of our companions, raising it, said,
‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has not Distributed to the servants anything superior
to the intellect. So the sleep of an intellectual is more preferable than the
wakefulness of the ignorant, and the eating (breaking Fast) of the intellectual is more
preferable than the Fasting of the ignorant, and the staying (at home) of the
intellectual is more preferable than the going out of the ignorant.
‫ وما يضمر النبي في نفسه‬،‫وال بعث هللا رسوال وال نبيا حتى يستكمل العقل ويكون عقله أفضل من عقول جميع أمته‬
،‫أفضل من إجتهاد جميع المجتهدين‬
And Allahazwj neither Sent a Rasoolas nor a Prophetas until heas was of complete
intellect, and hisas intellect came to be higher than the intellects of all of his as
community. And what the Prophetas thinks within himselfas is higher than the Ijtihad of
all the Mujtahids (all the efforts of all those who strive hard).
‫ إن العقالء هم أولوا‬،‫ وال بلغ جميع العابدين في فضل عبادتهم ما بلغ العاقل‬،‫وما أدى العاقل فرائض هللا حتى عقل منه‬
." ‫االلباب الذين قال هللا عزوجل " انما يتذكر أولوا االلباب‬
And the intellectual does not fulfill the Obligations of Allah azwj except being mindful of
it. And all the worshippers cannot reach in merits of their worship what the
intellectual reaches. The intellectuals, they are the people of understanding about
whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says [13:19] But rather, only those
possessing understanding will mind’.11
‫ قال رسول هللا (صلى هللا‬:‫ سمعت الرضا عليه السالم يقول‬:‫ قال‬:‫ عن الحسن بن جهم‬،‫ عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال‬،‫عنه‬
.‫ صديق كل امرئ عقله وعدوه جهله‬:)‫عليه وآله‬
From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin fazal, from Al Hassan Bin Jahm who said,

‘I heard Al-Rezaasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The friend of every person is his
intellect, and his enemy is his ignorance’.12
‫ جعلت فداك إنا نأتي قوما ال‬:‫ قلت‬:‫ قال‬،‫ ما يعبأ من أهل هذا الدين بمن ال عقل له‬:‫ رفعه قال‬،‫ عن بعض أصحابنا‬،‫عنه‬
‫ " يا أولى االلباب‬:‫ ليس هؤالء ممن خاطب هللا في قوله‬:‫ فقال‬،‫بأس لهم عندنا ممن يصف هذا االمر ليست لهم تلك العقول‬
‫ خلقت شيئا أحسن‬- ‫ " وعزتي وجاللى ما‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ " أدبر " فأدبر‬:‫ ثم قال له‬،‫ " أقبل " فأقبل‬:‫" إن هللا خلق ال عقل فقال له‬
." ‫ بك آخذ وبك أعطى‬،‫منك أو أحب إلي منك‬
From him, from one of our companions, raising it,
Heasws said: ‘Do not fault the people of this Religion, from the ones who have no
intellect for them’. I said, ‘We come across people who have no problems with us,
from the ones who are described to be upon this matter, but they do not have that
intellect’. So heasws said: ‘Those are not from the ones whom Allah azwj has Addressed
in Hisazwj Book as the people of understanding. Allah azwj Created the intellect, so
Heazwj Said to it: “Come forward!” So it came. Then Said to it: “Turn back!” So it
turned back. So Heazwj Said: “By Myazwj Honour and Myazwj Majesty! Iazwj have not
Created anything more beautiful than you, or more Beloved to Me azwj than you. With
you Iazwj shall Seize, and by you Iazwj shall Give”.13

From him, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed Al Nowfaly and Jahm Bin Hakeem Al Mada’iny, from Ismail Bin
Abu Zyad Al Sakuny,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws, from his forefathersasws having said:
‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When it reaches you about a man, the goodness of his state,
so look at him with regards to the goodness of his morals, for it is the recompense of
his intellect’.14
‫ عن بعض أصحابنا رفعه إلى أبي عبد هللا عليه السالم‬،‫ عن محمد بن عبد الجبار‬،‫ عن محمد بن أحمد بن يحيى‬،‫وعنه‬

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from sone of
our companions,
The narrator says: ‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws: ‘What is the intellect?’ Heasws said:
‘What the Beneficent is worshipped by, and the Paradise is attained by’. I said, ‘So
that which was with Muawiya?’ Heasws said: ‘That was the heinous (wickedness), and
that was the devilish, and it resembles with the intellect, but it is not with the
intellect’.15

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘But rather, Alahazwj would
Seize the servants during the Reckoning on the Day of Judgement in accordance to
what was Given to them from the intellect in the world’.16

From him, from his father Al Barqy, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Al Ja’fary, raising it, said,
‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Weas, the group of the Prophetsas, speak to the people in
accordance to their intellects’.17
‫ سئل الحسين بن علي عليهما السالم‬:‫ عن ابراهم بن محمد الكوفي رفعه قال‬،‫ عن أبي حفص الجوهري‬،‫ عن العوسي‬،‫عنه‬

From him, from Al Awsy, from Abu Hafs Al Jowhary, form Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Kufy, raising it,
said,
‘Al-Husaynasws Bin Aliasws was asked about the intellect. Heasws said: ‘Swallowing of
the heartbreak and persuading the enemies’.18
‫ وال يتقدم على ما‬،‫ وال يسأل من يخاف منعه‬،‫ العاقل ال يحدث من يخاف تكذيبه‬:‫ قال‬:‫ رفعه قال‬،‫ عن بعض أصحابنا‬،‫عنه‬
‫ وال يرجو من ال يوثق برجائه‬،‫يخاف العذر منه‬
‘Heasws said: ‘The intellectual does not discuss with the one whom he fears would
belie him, nor does he ask one whom he fears would refuse him, nor does he
embark upon (a matter) for which he fears failure, nor does he hope in one who
cannot be trusted with his hopes’.19
،‫ يستدل بكتاب الرجل على عقله وموضع بصيرته‬:‫ قال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬:‫ رفعه قال‬،‫ عن بعض أصحابنا‬،‫عنه‬
.‫وبرسوله على فهمه وفطنته‬
‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The man is evidenced upon his intellect by a Book (of
Allahazwj) and the placement of his insight, and by His azwj Rasoolsaww over his
understanding (of Ahadeeth) and his realisation (his actions)’.20

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah asws from hisasws forefathersasws having said:
‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Hates the weak Believer who has no Religion for
himself’.21
‫ كنت عند أبي عبد هللا عليه السالم وعنده عدة من مواليه فجرى ذكر‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن سماعة بن مهران‬،‫ عن علي بن حديد‬،‫عنه‬
،‫ اعرفوا العقل وجنده واعرفوا الجهل وجنده تهتدوا‬:‫العقل والجهل فقال عليه السالم‬
From him, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Sama’at Bin Mahran who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, and in hisasws presence were a number of
hisas loyalists. So there flowed a mention of the intellect and the ignorance. So he asws
said: ‘Get to know, the intellect and its army, and the ignorance and its army, and
you would be Guided’.
‫ إن هللا خلق العقل وهو أول خلق‬:‫ عبد هللا عليه السالم‬- ‫ فقال أبو‬،‫ جعلت فداك ال نعرف إال ما عرفتنا‬:‫ فقلت‬:‫قال سماعة‬
:‫ فقال هللا عزوجل له‬،‫ " أقبل " فأقبل‬:‫ ثم قال له‬،‫ " أدبر " فأدبر‬:‫ فقال له‬،‫خلقه من الروحانيين عن يمين العرش من نوره‬
،" ‫" خلقتك خلقا عظيما وأكرمتك على جميع خلقي‬
Sama’at said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! We do not understand except what
youasws make us to understand’. So Abu Abdullah asws said: ‘Allahazwj Created the
intellect, and it is the first of the creatures to be Created from the spiritual realm from
the right of the Throne, from Hisazwj Light. So Heazwj Said to it: “Turn back!” so it
turned back. Then Said to it: “Come forward!” So it came. So Allahazwj Mighty and
Majestic Said to it: ‘Iazwj have Created you as a magnificent creature, and Honoured
you over all of Myazwj creatures”.
" :‫ فقال هللا له‬،‫ " أقبل " فلم يقبل‬:‫ " أدبر " فأدبر ثم قال له‬:‫ ثم خلق الجهل من البحر االجاج الظلماني فقال له‬:‫قال‬
‫ ثم جعل للعقل خمسة وسبعين جندا فلما رأى الجهل ما أكرم هللا به العقل وما أعطاه أضمر له العداوة‬،‫أستكبرت "؟ فلعنه‬
،‫ فأعطني من الجند مثل ما أعطيته‬،‫ خلقته وكرمته وقويته وأنا ضده وال قوة لي به‬،‫ يا رب هذا خلق مثلي‬:‫فقال الجهل‬
‫ فأعطاه خمسة وسبعين جندا‬،‫ قد رضيت‬:‫ قال‬،‫ فان عصيت بعد ذلك أخرجتك وجندك من رحمتي‬،‫ نعم‬:‫فقال‬
Heasws said: ‘Then Heazwj Created the ignorance from the salty dark ocean. So He azwj
Said to it: “Turn back” So it turned back. Then Said to it: “Come forward!” But it did
not come forward. So Allahazwj Said to it: “Are you being arrogant?” So Heazwj Cursed
it. Then Heazwj Made seventy-five armies for the intellect. So when the ignorance saw
what Prestige Allahazwj has Honoured the intellect with, and what Heazwj had Given it,
harboured enmity towards it. So the ignorance said: ‘O Lord azwj! This is a creature
similar to me. Youazwj Created it, and Honoured it, and Strengthened it. And I am
opposite to it, and there is no strength for me by it. Therefore Given me the army
similar to what Youazwj have Given it’. So Heazwj Said: “Yes. But, if you were to
disobey Meazwj after that, Iazwj will Throw you and your army out from Myazwj Mercy”. It
said, ‘I have agreed’. Thus, Heazwj Gave it seventy-five armies.
،‫ وهو وزير الجهل‬،‫ وجعل ضده الشر‬،‫ وهو وزير العقل‬،‫فكان مما أعطى هللا العقل من الخمسة والسبعين الجند الخير‬
So from what Allahazwj Gave the intellect from the seventy five armies, the army of
goodness is its Vizier, and Made its opposite to be (the army of) evil, and it is the
Vizier of the (armies of) the ignorance.

From him, from his father, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Hafs Bin Amro, from Abu Abdullah ,
from his father,
(It has been narrated) from Aliasws having said: ‘The one who walks to the innovator,
and respected him, so he has walked for the destruction of Al-Islam’.73

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws
addressed the people: ‘O you people! But rather, the beginning of the occurrence of
the Fitna (Strife) is from the following of the desires, and rulings which have been
innovated, in which the Speech of Allahazwj is opposed, in which a man emulates
(does Taqleed) of a man. And if the falsehood was pure, the one with arguments
would not fear it; and if the Truth was pure, there would be no differing. But, they
take a handful of this, and a handful of that, so they mix up the two and come with
these two. So it is over that, the Satanla enchains hisla friends, those for whom the
goodness has preceded from Allahazwj attain salvataion (21:101)’.74

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws: ‘The one who is audacious (fearless) to
Allahazwj regarding the disobedience and indulges in the major sins, so he is a
disbeliever. And the one who establishes a Religion other than the Religion of
Allahazwj, so he is a Polytheist’.75
‫ باب المقائيس والرأى‬- 7
Chapter 7 – The analogist and the opinion
‫ أما بعد فانه من دعا‬:‫ عن أبي عبد هللا عليه السالم في رسالته إلى أصحاب الرأى والقياس‬،‫ عمن ذكره‬،‫ عن أبيه‬،‫عنه‬
،‫غيره إلى دينه باالرتياء والمقائيس لم ينصف ولم يصب حظه الن المدعو إلى ذلك ال يخلو أيضا من االرتياء والمقائيس‬
‫ النا قد رأينا‬،‫ومتى ما لم يكن بالداعى قوة في دعائه على المدعو لم يؤمن على الداعي أن يحتاج إلى المدعو بعد قليل‬
‫ ورأينا المعلم الداعي ربما احتاج في رأيه إلى رأى من يدعو‬،‫المتعلم الطالب ربما كان فائقا لمعلم ولو بعد حين‬
From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws in hisasws message to the people of the
opinion and the analogy: ‘After this, so the one who invited others to his Religion by
the opinions and the analogies, he did not do justice, and did not hit his fortune
because the invitee to that was himself not devoid of the opinions and the analogies.
And when the inviter did not have the strength regarding his call to the invitee to
believe the inviter, he became needy of the invitee after a while, because we have
seen the student sometimes being superior to the teacher even though it be after a
while, and we have seen the educated inviter sometimes being needy in his opinion
to the opinion of the one whom he has invited.
،‫وفي ذلك تحير الجاهلون وشك المرتابون وظن الظانون ولو كان ذلك عند هللا جائزا لم يبعث هللا الرسل بما فيه الفصل‬
،‫ ولم يعب الجهل‬،‫ولم ينه عن الهزل‬
And in that is the confusion of the ignorant, and the doubts of the sceptics, and the
guesses of the conjecturers. And if that was permissible in the Presence of Allah azwj,
Allahazwj would not have Sent the Rasoolsas with that in the gap (in the duration), and
not have Forbidden the humour, and not faulted the ignorant.
‫ واكتفوا بذلك دون رسله والقوام‬،‫ واستغنوا بجهلهم وتدابيرهم عن علم هللا‬،‫ولكن الناس لما سفهوا الحق وغمطوا النعمة‬
‫ ال شئ إال ما أدركته عقولنا وعرفته ألبابنا‬:‫ وقالوا‬،‫بأمره‬
But, the people, when they depreciated the Truth and showed scorn for the Bounties,
and became needless of the Knowledge of Allahazwj, due to their ignorance and their
management, and contented themselves with that, besides Hisazwj Rasoolsas and
standing by theiras orders, and said, ‘There is nothing except what our intellects are
aware of, and our minds recognise (i.e., what makes sense to us)’.
‫ ولو كان هللا رضي منهم اجتهادهم‬،‫فوالهم هللا ما تولوا وأهملهم وخذلهم حتى صاروا عبدة أنفسهم من حيث ال يعملون‬
‫وارتياءهم فيما ادعوا من ذلك لم يبعث هللا إليهم فاصال لما بينهم وال زاجرا عن وصفهم و انما استدللنا أن رضا هللا غير‬
،‫ذلك ببعثه الرسل باالمور القيمة الصحيحة والتحذير عن االمور المشكلة المفسدة‬
75
29 out of 152
Thus, Allahazwj’s (Commands) escaped from them (their minds), and what they
turned towards, neglected them and abandoned them until they became slaves to
their own selves from where they did not know.
And if Allahazwj was Pleased with them, and their Ijtihaad, and their opinions with
regards to what they invited from that, Allahazwj would not have Sent to them
Decisions to what is (differing) between them, nor Warn about their qualities, but
rather, what evidences us to the Pleasure of Allah azwj is other than that, by the
Sending of the Rasoolsas with the Commands, and the correct standings, and the
Warning about the doubtful and corrupt matters.
‫ فمن طلب ما عند هللا بقياس ورأى لم يزدد‬،‫ثم جعلهم أبوابه وصراطه واالدالء عليه بأمور محجوبة عن الرأى والقياس‬
‫ ولم يبعث رسوال قط وان طال عمره قابال من الناس خالف ما جاء به حتى يكون متبوعا مرة و تابعا‬،‫من هللا إال بعدا‬
،‫أخرى‬
Then Heazwj Made themas as Hisazwj Doors, and Hisazwj Way, and the Directors
towards Himazwj by matters veiled from the opinions and the analogies. So the one
who seeks what was is in the Presence of Allah azwj by the analogy and opinion, it will
not increase from Allahazwj anything except for the remoteness. And Allah azwj did not
Send a Rasoolas at all, and Lengthened hisas age, and faced opposition from the
people due to what heas came with, until heas became followed one time, and
followed (others) another time. (i.e., such a thing never happened).
‫ولم ير أيضا فيما جاء به استعمل رأيا وال مقياسا حتى يكون ذلك واضحا عنده كالوحي من هللا وفي ذلك دليل لكل ذي لب‬
‫وحجى أن أصحاب الرأى والقياس مخطئون مدحضون وإنما االختالف فيما دون الرسل ال في الرسل‬
And heas (the Prophetas) was not seen as well, with regards to what he as came with,
using (hisas own) opinion, nor an analogy, until that became clear with him as like the
Revelation from Allahazwj. And in that is the evidence for every one with a mind and
argument, that the people of the opinion and the analogy are erroneous, bewildered.
But rather, the differing is in what is besides the Rasoolsas and not in the Rasoolsas.
‫فاياك أيها المستمع أن تجمع عليك خصلتين احداهما القذف بما جاش به صدرك واتباعك لنفسك إلى غير قصد وال معرفة‬
‫ واالخرى استغناؤك عما فيه حاجتك وتكذيبك لمن إليه مردك‬،‫حد‬
So beware, O you listeners, from two qualities gathering into you – one of which is
the throwing of what your chests are excited with, and following yourselves to other
than what you set out to without understanding its limits; and the other is your being
self-sufficient about what is your need therein, and your belying to the One azwj to
Whom is your eventual return.
‫ النا لم نجد تابعا لهواه جائزا عما ذكرنا قط رشيدا‬،‫ وانتجاعك الباطل جهال وضاللة‬،‫و إياك وترك الحق سأمة وماللة‬
.‫فانظر في ذلك‬
And beware of neglecting the Truth out of boredom and tiredness, and your coming
to the Falsehood out of ignorance and the straying, because we will not find a
30 out of 152
follower of his own desires, allowing at all what we asws have mentioned, to be upon
Guidance. Therefore, look into that’.76
‫ شهدت أبا عبد هللا عليه السالم في مسجد‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن معاوية بن ميسرة بن شريح‬،‫ عمن ذكره‬،‫ عن بعض أصحابنا‬،‫عنه‬
‫ يا أبا عبد هللا إنا نقضى بالعراق فنقضي ما‬:‫الخيف وهو في حلقة فيها نحو من مائتي رجل فيهم عبد هللا بن شبرمة فقال‬
‫ فأنصت الناس جميع من حضر للجواب وأقبل أبو عبد‬:‫نعلم من الكتاب والسنة وترد علينا المسألة فنجتهد فيها بالرأى قال‬
.‫هللا عليه السالم على من على يمينه يحدثهم فلما رأى الناس ذلك أقبل بعضهم على بعض وتركوا االنصات‬
From him, from one of our companions, from the one who mentioned it, from Muawiya Bin Maysara
Bin Shareeh who said,
‘I witnessed Abu Abdullahasws in Masjid Al-Kheef, and heasws was in a circle wherein
were approximately one hundred men, among whom was Abdullah Bin Shabrama.
So he said, ‘O Abu Abdullahasws! We are judges at Al-Iraq and we judge by what we
know from the Book and the Sunnah. And certain questions are referred to us, so we
do Ijtihaad in these with our opinion’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The people altogether
were silent from waiting for the answer, and Abu Abdullah asws faced towards the
ones to hisasws right, discussing with them. So when the people saw that, some of
them faced each other and neglected the silence.
‫ يا أبا عبد هللا إنا قضاة العراق وإنا نقضى بالكتاب والسنة وإنه ترد‬:‫) ثم تحدثوا ما شاء هللا ثم إن ابن شبرمة قال‬:‫(قال‬
‫ فأنصت جميع الناس للجواب وأقبل أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم على من على يساره‬:‫علينا أشياء نجتهد فيها بالر أى قال‬
‫يحدثهم فلما رأى الناس ذلك أقبل بعضهم على بعض وتركوا االنصات‬
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then discussion took place what as long as Allah azwj so
Desired, then Ibn Shabrama said, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! We are judges of
Al-Iraq, and we judge by the Book and the Sunnah, and certain things are referred to
us, wherein we do Ijtihaad with the opinion’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So all the people
were silent for the answer, and Abu Abdullahasws faced to the ones to hisasws left and
discussed with them. So when the people saw that, some of them faced each other
and neglected the silence’.
‫ أي رجل كان علي بن أبي‬:‫ فأقبل أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم فقال‬:‫ثم إن ابن شبرمة مكث ما شاء هللا ثم عاد لمثل قوله‬
‫ فقال له أبو عبد هللا عليه‬،‫ فأطرأه ابن شبرمة وقال فيه قوال عظيما‬:‫ قال‬،‫ فقد كان عندكم بالعراق ولكم به خبر‬- ‫طالب؟‬
،‫ فان عليا أبي أن يدخل في دين هللا الرأى وأن يقول في شئ من دين هللا بالرأى والمقائيس‬:‫السالم‬
Then Ibn Shabrama remained (like that) for as long as Allah azwj so desired, then
repeated similar to his speech. So Abu Abdullah asws faced him and said: ‘Which man
was (with) Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws? Heasws was among you at Al-Iraq, and for you, by
himasws was news (Hadeeth)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Ibn Shabrama frowned and
said a grievous thing about himasws. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Surely Aliasws refused
to include the opinion in the Religion of Allahazwj, and that you should be saying
regarding something from the Religion of Allahazwj by the opinion and the analogy’.
‫ يا أبا ساسان لم يدعنى صاحبكم ابن شبرمة‬:‫ فلما كان الليل دخلت على أبي عبد هللا عليه السالم فقال لي‬:‫فقال أبو ساسان‬
.‫ لو علم ابن شبرمة من اين هلك الناس ما دان بالمقائيس وال عمل بها‬:‫حتى أجبته ثم قال‬
So Abu Sasaan said, ‘So when it was the night, I came up to Abu Abdullah asws, and
heasws said to me: ‘O Abu Sasaan! Your companion Ibn Shabrama would not have
76
31 out of 152
left measws until Iasws answered him’. Then heasws said: ‘If only Ibn Shabrama knew
from where the people are destroyed, he would not have made a Religion by the
analogies and would not have acted by it’.77

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The analogists seek the knowledge by the
analogies, so these analogies do not increase them from the Truth except for the
remoteness (from it), and the Religion of Allahazwj cannot be caught/captured by the
analogies’.79

what Ibleesla when hela was Commanded to prostrate to Adamas, saying, ‘Youazwj
have Created mela from fire and Created himas from clay’.80

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from Al Husayn Bin Mayaah, from his father,

Adamas from, with the fire, which was more illuminating that the fire’.81

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws fear for you from two – following the desires, and
the lengthy deeds (workaholic). So as for following of the desires, so it would repel
you from the Truth, and as for the lengthy deeds (endless effort for the world), so

something, so one of them said, ‘I testify that this is such and such’, by his opinion.
So it was compatible with the Truth, and the other refrained’, so he said: ‘The words

said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘There is a group of our companions who have pondered
and have caught knowledge and are reporting Ahadeeth, so something is referred to
them, and they are saying it by their opinion?’ So heasws said, ‘No! And were not the

through youasws, to the extent that a group of us have become such in the gathering
that, a man present in the gathering does not ask a question, but an answer is
present from us, which Allahazwj has Bestowed upon us through youasws.
‫فربما ورد علينا الشئ لم يأتنا فيه عنك وال عن آبائك شئ فننظر إلى أحسن ما يحضرنا وأوفق االشياء لما جائنا عنكم‬
‫ هيهات هيهات! في ذلك وهللا هلك من هلك يا ابن حكيم‬:‫ فقال‬- ‫فنأخذ به؟‬
However, sometimes such a thing is referred to us, that we have not been given
anything about it, neither from youasws, nor from yourasws forefathersasws. So we look
at the best of what is present with us, and the most satisfactory things which have
come to us from youasws, so shall we take to it?’
So the Imamasws said: ‘Impossible! Impossible! By Allahazwj! It is with regards to that,

،‫ قال علي و قلت‬:‫ لعن هللا أبا حنيفة يقول‬:‫ثم قال‬
Then the Imamasws said: ‘May Allahazwj Curse Abu Haneefa for saying, ‘Aliasws spoke

From him, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Darsat Bin Abu Mansour, from
Muhammad Bin Hakeem who said,
‘I said to Abu Al-Hassanasws, ‘We get together with regards to what is in between us,
so whilst we are in the middle of that, most of the time when something is referred to
us, but with us there is something with regards to it, and that is something which
Allahazwj has Bestowed upon us by youasws. And (sometimes) there is referred to us a
matter, and there is not with us anything with regards to it, but with us there is
something resembling it. Shall we analogise upon the best of it?’
The Imamasws said: ‘No. And what have you to do with the analogy?’
،‫ وقالت الصحابة وقلت‬،‫ قال علي وقلت‬:‫ كان يقول‬،‫ لعن هللا أبا فالن‬:‫ثم قال‬
Then heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj Curse Abu so and so (Abu Haneefa). Hela used to
say, ‘Aliasws spoke, and I speak; and the companions spoke, and I speak’.
‫ وإذا جائكم‬،‫ إذا جاءكم ما تعلمون فقولوا‬:‫ فقال أبو الحسن عليه السالم‬،‫ ال ولكن هذا قوله‬:‫ قلت‬- ‫ كنت تجلس إليه؟‬:‫ثم قال‬

Then heasws said: ‘You used to sit with himla?’ I said, ‘No, but this is hisla speech’. So
Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘Whenever there comes to you what you know about, so
speak, and whenever there comes to you what you do not know about, so ha!’ – and
heasws placed hisasws hand upon hisasws mouth. So I said, ‘And why is that?’ Heasws
said: ‘Because Rasool-Allahsaww gave to the people with what was sufficient for them
in hissaww era, and they are not needy from after him saww up to the Day of

(It has been narrated) from Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, from hisasws
fatherasws, from Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The recitation of the
Quran during the Salaat is higher than recitation of the Quran in other than the
Salaat; and the Remembrance of Allahazwj is greater than the charity; and the charity
is higher than the Fasting; and the Fasting is a shield from the Fire. Rasool-Allahsaww
said: ‘There is no speech except by a deed; and there is neither a speech nor a deed

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws shall be describing Al-Islam today (in such a

manner) that no one before measws has describing it, nor will anyone after me asws
describe it similarly to that. Al-Islam is the submission; and the submission, it is the

The Believer does not take his Religion from his opinion, but it is Given to him from
his Lordazwj, so he holds onto it. The Believer sees his conviction in his deeds, and
the Infidel sees his denial in his deeds. So, by the One azwj in Whose Hand is myasws
soul, they have not recognised the Command of their Lord azwj. Therefore, learn a
lesson from the denial of the Infidels, and the hypocrites, by their bad deeds’.135

‘I came up to Abu Abdullahasws and my (face) colour had changed. So he asws said:
‘From where did you wear Ihraam?’ I said, ‘From such and such a place’. He asws
said: ‘It is not from the well-know places. Perhaps in seeking the good, his feet
slipped’. Then heasws said ‘Is it easier for you to Pray the Zohr (Prayer) during the

sleep and Isaww wake you up’. So when they stand and Pray, they know when that
strikes them (becomes obligatory), how they should be doing it. It is not as you are
saying, ‘If he moves away from it, he perishes’. Similar to that are the Fasts: Isaww

so fulfil it”.

not find one except that for Allahazwj there is an Argument, and that there is the

the people have been Ordered by, so they have the capacity for it, and every thing
which they do not have the capacity for, so it has been Placed (away) from them.

who do not find what they should spend, to go forth, so long as they are
sincere to Allah and His Rasool; there is no way (to blame) [9:92] Nor upon
those who when they came to you that you might carry them. Heasws said: ‘So
Heazwj Placed (the burden away) from them, because they could not find what they
should be spending. And Said [9:93] The way (to blame) is only against those
who ask permission of you though they are rich; they have chosen to be with
those who remained behind, and Allah has Set a seal upon their hearts so they

to Be, without quantity or without ‘how’. There is no ‘before’ for Him azwj, and Heazwj
was the ‘before; Heazwj is without ‘before’, no beginning nor an end to a beginning,
nor is there a beginning for Himazwj. The beginnings are all cut-off from Him, so Heazwj
is the Beginning of all beginnings’. So the head of the Catholics said to the Jews, ‘Let

Then Heazwj did not cease to Choose until Heazwj Chose Abd Manafas. Then Heazwj
Chose from Abd Manafas, Hashimas. Then Chose from Hashimas, Abd Al-Muttalibas.
Then Chose from Abd Al-Muttalibas, Abdullahas. Then Chose from Abdullahas,
Muhammadsaww, Rasool-Allahsaww. So hesaww was the best of the people sent. So
Allahazwj Sent himsaww with the Truth, and Revealed the Book unto himsaww. So there
is nothing from the things except that it’s explanation is in the Book of Allah azwj’.356
‫ ما‬:)‫ قال أبو عبد هللا (ع‬:‫ عن معلى بن خنيس قال‬،‫ عمن حدثه‬،‫ عن ثعلبة بن ميمون‬،‫ عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال‬،‫عنه‬
.‫من أمر يختلف فيه إثنان إال وله أصل في كتاب هللا ولكن ال تبلغه عقول الرجال‬
From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from the one who narrated
it, from Moala Bin Khunays who said,
‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There is none from the matters in which two (people)
differed, except that its origin is in the Book of Allahazwj, but the intellects of the men
cannot reach it’.357
‫ عن أبي عبد هللا (ع) في رسالة " وأما ما سألت من القرآن فذلك أيضا من خطراتك المتفاوتة‬،‫ عمن ذكره‬،‫ عن أبيه‬،‫عنه‬
‫ وإنما القرآن أمثال لقوم يعلمون دون‬،‫ وكل ما سمعت فمعناه غير ما ذهبت إليه‬،‫ الن القرآن ليس على ما ذكرت‬،‫المختلفة‬
‫ فأما غيرهم فما أشد إشكاله عليهم وأبعده من مذاهب‬،‫ وهم الذين يؤمنون به ويعرفونه‬،‫ ولقوم يتلونه حق تالوته‬،‫غيرهم‬
‫ وفي ذلك تحير‬،‫ ليس شئ بأبعد من قلوب الرجال من تفسير القرآن‬:‫ ولذلك قال رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وآله‬،‫قلوبهم‬
،‫الخالئق أجمعون إال من شاء هللا‬
From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned it,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws in a letter, said: ‘And as for what you
have asked from the Quran, so that as well is from your wavering, varying, different,
because the Quran is not upon what you have mentioned. And everything is heard,
its Meaning is other than what is followed. But rather, the Quran is for a peopleasws
who know it exclusive to other, and a people asws who recite it as it deserves to be
recited, and theyasws are the ones who believe in it and understand it. So, as for the
others, so what is more intensely difficult for them and more remote from where their
hearts are going? And it is due to that, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘There is nothing more
remote from the hearts of the men than the interpretation of the Quran’. And in that,
is the confusion of all the people together, except for the one whom Allahazwj so
Desires.
‫وإنما أراد هللا بتعميته في ذلك أن ينتهوا إلى بابه وصراطه وأن يعبدوه وينتهوا في قوله إلى طاعة القوام بكتابه والناطقين‬
‫عن أمره وأن يستنطقوا ما احتاجوا إليه من ذلك عنهم ال عن أنفسهم‬
But rather, Allahazwj Intended to Encrypt regarding that, so that you would end up to
Hisazwj Door, and Hisazwj Way, and if you worship Himazwj, you will end up with
regards to Hisazwj Words, to the obedience to the peopleasws by Hisazwj Book, and the
356

speakers from Hisazwj Command, and that theyasws would be speaking what they are
needy from that, from Himazwj and not from themselvesasws.
‫ " ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلى أولى االمر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهم " فأما غيرهم فليس يعلم ذلك أبدا وال‬:‫ثم قال‬
‫ وال من يبلغونه أمر هللا‬،‫ وقد علمت أنه ال يستق يم أن يكون الخلق كلهم والة االمر إذ ال يجدون من يأتمرون عليه‬،‫يوجد‬
،‫ فجعل هللا الوالة خواص ليقتدى بهم من لم يخصصهم بذلك فافهم ذلك إن شاء هللا‬،‫ونهيه‬
Then he said: ‘[4:83] and if they had referred it to the Rasool and to those in
authority among them, those among them who can search out the Knowledge
of it would have known it. So, as for the others, so they will not know that nor find
it, ever. And you should understand that it is not correct for all of the people to
become ‘those in authority’ (Wali Al-Amr), when they cannot find the one that can
be obeyed, nor one to whom the Commands of Allah azwj and Hisazwj Prohibition have
not reached. Thus, Allahazwj has Made the authority special in order to Guide
(people) by themasws the ones who have not been specialised by that. So Iasws (hope)
you will understand that, if Allahazwj so Desires it.
‫ وال قادرين عليه‬،‫ فان الناس غير مشتركين في علمه كاشتراكهم فيما سواه من االمور‬،‫وإياك وإياك وتالوة القرآن برأيك‬
.‫وال على تأويله إال من حده وبابه الذي جعله هللا له فافهم إن شاء هللا واطلب االمر من مكانه تجده إن شاء هللا‬
And beware, and beware of reciting the Quran by your opinion, for the people are not
participants in Hisazwj Knowledge like they are participants among themselves with
regards to the matters, nor are they able to, over its explanation except from its Limit,
and its Door which Allahazwj has Made for it. So, Iasws (hope) you will understand that,
if Allahazwj so Desires it, and seek the matter from its (rightful) place. You will find it, if
Allahazwj so Desires it’.358
‫ فمن‬،‫ ومحمد صلى هللا عليه وآله لذلك مستقر‬،‫ إن القرآن شاهد الحق‬:)‫ قال أبو جعفر (ع‬:‫ حدثنى مرسال قال‬:‫ قال‬،‫عنه‬

‫ فتدحض أعمالكم وتخبطوا سبيلكم وال تكونوا أطعتم هللا‬،‫ فال تأخذوا أمركم بالوهن وال أديانكم هزؤا‬،‫دينكم ومنار هداكم‬
،‫ربكم‬
From him, narrated by an unbroken chain, said,
‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The Quran bears testimony to the Truth, and Muhammad saww
was firmly upon that. So the one who takes a motive to a Motive of Allah azwj, his
motive would not be cut off, and the one who takes to a motive other than that - with
every liar, so he should fear Allahazwj.
Allahazwj has Clarified for you the tools of your Religion, and Minarets of your
Guidance. Therefore, do not take your matter with the weakness, nor your Religion
as a mockery, for your works would be refuted, and your way would become
confused, and you would not become obedient to Allahazwj, your Lordazwj.
‫ يهلك من هلك ويحيى من‬،‫ وال تكونوا في حزب الشيطان فتضلوا‬،‫ وكونوا في حزب هللا تهتدوا‬،‫اثبتوا على القرآن الثابت‬

Be steadfast upon the Quran by the steadfastness, and become among the party of
Allahazwj, you would be Guided, and do not become among the party of the Satan la,
for you would stray. Destroyed was the one who was destroyed, and revived was the
one who was revived, and upon Allah azwj is the explanation, Explaining to you. So be
Guided by the words of the knowledgeable onesasws, and benefit, and in that is the
Way to Allahazwj. Whoever Allahazwj Guides, so he is Guided, and the one whom
Allahazwj Lets to stray, so he will never find for himself any Guardian asws, a
Guideasws’.359

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from
Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud who said,
‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Whenever Iasws narrate to you with anything, so ask measws
about it from the Book of Allahazwj’.
‫ إن رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وآله نهى عن القيل والقال و فساد المال وفساد االرض وكثرة‬:‫ثم قال في بعض حديثه‬

Then heasws said in one of hisasws Hadeeth: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had forbidden from the
gossip, and the squandering of the wealth, and mischief in the earth, and the
frequency of questioning’. They said, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! And where is
this in the Book of Allahazwj?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj is Saying in Hisazwj Book [4:114]
There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in his) who enjoins
charity or goodness or reconciliation between people. And Said [4:5] And do
not give away your property to the foolish which Allah has made for you a
(means of) support; [5:101] Do not put questions about things which if
declared to you may trouble you’.360

From him, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mahran who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘(What about) the Words of Allahazwj [46:35] Therefore
bear up patiently as did the Determined Ones from the Rasools bear up’. So the
Imamasws said: ‘Noahas, and Ibrahimas, and Musaas, and Isaas, and Muhammadsaww’. I
said, ‘How did theyas come to be ‘the Determined ones’?’
)‫ حتى جاء إبراهيم (ع‬،‫ فكل من جاء بعد نوح (ع) أخذ بكتابه وشريعته ومنهاجه‬،‫ الن نوحا بعث بكتاب وشريعة‬:‫قال‬

،‫ وبعزيمة ترك الصحف‬،‫ ومنهاجه‬،‫حتى جاء موسى (ع) بالتوراة وشريعته‬
359
360

The Imamasws said: ‘Because Noahas was Sent with a Book and a Law. So, everyone
who came after Noahas took by hisas Book, and hisas Law, and hisas Manifesto, until
Ibrahimas came with the Parchment with determination by it, left the Book of Noahas
without disbelieving in it. And every Prophetas who came after Ibrahim, did so with
the Law of Ibrahimas, and hisas Manifesto, and hisas Parchments, until Musaas came
up with the Torah, and hisas Law, and hisas Manifesto, and with determination by it,
left the Parchment.
‫ وبعزيمة ترك شريعة‬،‫ حتى جاء المسيح (ع) باالنجيل‬،‫ ومنهاجه‬،‫ أخذ بالتوراة وشريعته‬،‫فكل نبي جاء بعد موسى‬
،‫ فحالله حالل إلى يوم القيامة‬،‫ ومنهاجه‬،‫ وشريعته‬،‫ حتى جاء محمد صلى هللا عليه وآله فجاء بالقرآن‬،‫ ومنهاجه‬،‫موسى‬
.‫ فهؤالء أولوا العزم من الرسل‬،‫وحرامه حرام إلى يوم القيامة‬
So, every Prophetas who came after Musaas, took by the Torah, and hisas Law, and
hisas Program, until the Messiahas came with the Evangel, and by the determination
with it, left the Law of Musaas, and hisas Manifesto, until Muhammadsaww came up. So
hesaww came with the Quran, and hissaww Law, and hisas Manifesto. Thus, hissaww
Permissible is Permissible until the Day of Judgement, and his saww Prohibition is
Prohibited until the Day of Judgement. So these are the Determined ones from the
Rasoolsas’.361

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Abu Ismail Al Siraj, from Khaseyman Bin
Abdul Rahman Al Ju’fy, from Abu Labeed Al Bahrany Al Mara’a Al Hajreyn who said,
‘A man came up to Abu Ja’farasws at Makkah. So he asked himasws certain questions,

and heasws answered these. Then the man said to him asws, ‘Are you the oneasws who
claims that there is nothing from the Book of Allah azwj except that it is well known?’
The Imamasws said: ‘Iasws did not say it like this. But, there is nothing from the Book of
Allahazwj, except that there is a speaking evidence from Allah azwj in Hisazwj Book, from
what the people do not know’.
‫ فما " المص‬:‫ فقال له‬،‫ وال حرف واحد‬،‫ نعم‬:‫ قال‬- ‫ فأنت الذي تزعم أنه ليس من كتاب هللا إال والناس يحتاجون إليه؟‬:‫قال‬

He said, ‘So youasws are the one who claims that there is nothing from the Book of
Allahazwj except that they people are needy to it?’ The Imam asws said: ‘Yes, not even
one letter’. So he said: ‘And what is [7:1] Alif Lam Meem Suad?’ Abu Labeed said,
‘So the Imamasws answered him with an answer which I forgot’. The man went out.
‫ وللقرآن بطن‬:‫ قلت‬- ‫ أفال أخبرك بتفسيرها في بطن القرآن؟‬،‫ هذا تفسيرها في ظهر القرآن‬:)‫فقال لي أبو جعفر (ع‬

So Abu Ja’far said to me: ‘This is its interpretation in the apparent of the Quran. Shall
Iasws inform you of its interpretation in the hidden (Meaning) of the Quran?’ I said,
361
114 out of 152

‘And for the Quran there is a hidden as well as an apparent?’ So the Imam asws said:
‘Yes. For the Book of Allahazwj, there is an apparent, and a hidden, and an
observation, and Abrogating, and Abrogated, and Decisive, and Allegorical, and
Sunnahs, and Parables, and Separate, and Linked, and Letters, and its
Grammatical. So the one who claims that the Book of Allah azwj is ambiguous, so he is
destroyed and caused (others to be) destroyed’.362

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from
Hamaad Bin usman, from Abdullah Al Kahily who said,
‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Even if a people were to worship Allahazwj as One with no
associates to Himazwj, and establish ‘Salaat’ (the Prayer), and give the Zakat, and
perform the Hajj of the House (Kabah), and Fast the Month of Ramazan, then say for
a thing which Allahazwj the High has Done, or the Prophetsaww has done, ‘I shall do
different to it’, or if that were to be found in their hearts, they would become, due to
that, Polytheists’. Then the Imamasws recited this Verse [4:65] But no! By your

has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any
straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire

relaxation from what Allahazwj has Commanded with or Forbidden from, except that
therein is a Trial from Allahazwj’.404

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Halby,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty
and Majestic [68:43] Their looks cast down, abasement shall overtake them;
and they were called upon to make obeisance (bow) indeed while yet they were
safe. The Imamasws said: ‘And they had the abilities to take to what they had been
Commanded for, and leave what they had been Forbidden from, and due to that they
were Tested’.
And the Imamasws said: ‘There is neither a constraint nor a relaxation regarding the
servant, from what Allahazwj has Commanded for or Prohibited from, except that
therein is a Trial and an Ordainment from Allahazwj’.406

Chapter 42 – The Successful and the Cursed
‫ إن هللا خلق السعادة والشقاء قبل‬:‫ عن أبي عبد هللا (ع) قال‬،‫ عن منصور بن حازم‬،‫ عن صفوان بن يحيى‬،‫ عن أبيه‬،‫عنه‬
‫ وإن كان شقيا لم يحبه هللا‬،‫ وإن عمل شرا أبغض عمله ولم يبغضه‬،‫ فمن خلقه هللا سعيدا لم يبغضه هللا أبدا‬،‫أن يخلق خلقه‬
‫ وإذا أبغض هللا شيئا لم‬،‫ فإذا أحب هللا شيئا لم يبغضه أبدا‬،‫ وإن عمل صالحا أحب هللا عمله وأبغضه لما يصيره إليه‬،‫أبدا‬
.‫يحبه أبدا‬
From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Haazim,
Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allahazwj Created the happiness and the misery before
Heazwj Created Hisazwj creatures. So the one whom Allahazwj Created as successful,
Allahazwj would not Hate him, ever. And if he were to do an evil deed, He azwj would
Hate his deeds, and would not Hate him. And if he was a cursed one, Allahazwj would
not Love him ever. And if he worked a righteous deed, Allah azwj would Love his deed,
and Hate him for what he had come to it. So when Allah azwj Loves a thing, Heazwj
does not Hate it, ever. And if Allahazwj Hates a thing, Heazwj does not Love it, ever’.407

،‫ فجعله نبيا‬،‫على حال من الحاالت لما الطف له حتى أخرجه من حال إلى حال‬
From him, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from
Mansour Bin Hazim who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Does Allahazwj love the servant, then Hates him?’ So
heasws said: ‘You never cease to come to measws with something’. So I said, ‘This is
my Religion, and by it I dispute with the people. So if you asws are forbidding me from
it, I shall leave it’. Then I said to himasws, ‘Did Allahazwj Detest Muhammadsaww upon a
406
407
127 out of 152

(any) situation from the situations?’ So the Imamasws said: ‘If Heazwj had Detested
himsaww upon a situation from the situations, why did He azwj Turn to himsaww and Took
himsaww from one situation to another, so Made himsaww a Prophetsaww?’
،‫ وأنا الساعة أقوله‬،‫ بلى‬:‫ قال‬- ‫ إنهما كانا من قبل أن يخلق هللا الخلق؟‬،‫ ألم تجبني منذ سينن عن الشقاء والسعادة‬:‫فقلت‬

So I said, ‘Youasws did not answer me for years about the curesed and the
successful. Were these two from before Heazwj Created the creatures?’ The Imamasws
said: ‘Yes, and Iasws am saying it at this time’. I said, ‘So inform me about the
successful one. Does Allahazwj Hate him upon a (any) situation from the situations?’
So the Imamasws said: ‘If Allahazwj Hated him upon a situation from the situations, why
did Heazwj Turn to him until Heazwj Took him out from a situation to (another) situation,
so Made him successful?’.
،‫ لو أحبه هللا في حال من الحاالت ما تركه شقيا‬:‫ فقال‬- ‫ هل أحبه هللا على حال من الحاالت؟‬،‫ فأخبرني عن الشقي‬:‫قلت‬
.‫ ال‬:‫ فقال‬- ‫ أو يحبه ثم يبغضه؟‬- ‫ فهل يبغض هللا هللا العبد ثم يحبه؟‬:‫ قلت‬،‫والستنقذه من الشقاء إلى السعادة‬
I said, ‘So, inform me abou the cursed one. Does Allahazwj Love him upon a (any)
situation from the situations?’ So the Imamasws said: ‘If Allahazwj Loved him in a
situation from the situations, Allahazwj would not have Left him as a cursed one, and
would have Recovered him from the misery to the success’. I said, ‘So, does
Allahazwj Hate the servant, then Loves him? Or Loves him, then Hates him?’ So the
Imamasws said: ‘No!’408

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Allahazwj Created Hisazwj creatures, so Heazwj

Created a people to love usasws. Even if one of them were to come out from this view,
Allahazwj would Return him even reluctantly, by his nose. And He azwj Created a

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Masny, from Abu Baseer,
Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allahazwj Created a people to love usasws, and Created a

from this matter to someone else, Allahazwj would Return them to it, even if (they are)

From him, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Bin Imran Al Halby, from Moala Abu Usman, from
Ali Bin Hanzala,
Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Two men disputed, at Al-Medina, a Qadiriyya and a man
from the people of Makkah. So they both made Abu Abdullah asws to be in between
the two of them. So they came to himasws, and they both mentioned their speeches.
So heasws said: ‘If you both so desire, I shall inform both of you with a speech of
Rasool-Allahsaww?’ So they both said, ‘We so desire it’.

So heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww stood up and ascended the Pulpit. So hesaww

Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘Allahazwj Wrote a Book by Hisazwj
Right Hand, and both of Hisazwj Hands are Right. In it are the names of the
inhabitants of the Paradise, by their narmes, and the names of their fathers, and their
families, the whole of them. There will not increase among them a single man, nor
reduce from them anyone, ever!
‫ مجمل عليهم ال يزيد فيهمم رجال وال ينقص‬،‫ فيه أسماء أهل النار بأسمائهم وأسماء آبائهم وعشائرهم‬،‫وكتاب كتبه هللا‬

And a Book Written By Allahazwj, in which are the name of the inhabitants of the Fire,
by their names and the names of their fathers, and their families, the whole of them.
There will not increase among them a single man nor reduce from a single man. And
the cursed ones may travel upon the way with the successful ones, then the people
would be saying, ‘It is as if he is from them, how he resembles them!’
‫ ثم‬،‫ ما أشبهه بهم! بل هو منهم‬:‫ وقد يسلك بالشقي طريق السعداء حتى يقول الناس‬،‫ ثم تداركه السعادة‬،‫بل هو منهم‬

But he is from them. Then you will see the successful one, and he has travelled with
the cursed one upon his way, until the people would be saying, ‘How he resembles
them!’ But he is from them. Then Bestowed misery upon him, the one for whom
Allahazwj has Ordained salvation. And even if there were not to remain from the world
anything except for the hiccups of the camel, Allahazwj would Seal the deliverance for

From him, from his father, from Safwan who said,
‘I said to Abd Salihasws (7th Imamasws), ‘Is there ability in the people to come to the
understanding by it?’ The Imamasws said: ‘No. But rather, it is a Benefit Conferred
from Allahazwj’. I said, ‘So is there a Reward for them upon the understanding, when it
was not from their own selves, what they come to at the position of the bowings and
the Prostrations which they have been Commanded for, so they do it?’ The Imam asws
said: ‘No. But rather, it is a Conferment from Allahazwj upon them, and the

From him, from his father, from Fazala Bin Ayoub, from Jameel Bin Daraaj, from Zarara,
High [7:172] And when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam,
from their backs, their descendants, and made them testify against their own
souls. The Imamasws said: ‘That was a Preview of Allahazwj, so they forgot the
preview, and the acceptance was affirmed in their chests. And had it not been for
that, no one would have recognised who his Creator was, or who his Sustainer was.
And these are the Words of Allahazwj [43:87] And if you should ask them who
created them, they would certainly say: Allah’.413

So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High, before Heazwj Created the creatures,
Said: “Be, sweet water! Iazwj shall Created from you My Garden and the people of
Myazwj obedience”. And Allahazwj Said: “Be, salty water, bitter! Iazwj shall Created from
you Myazwj Fire, and the people of Myazwj disobedience”. Then Heazwj Commanded
the two, so they intermingled. So, from that came to be, that the Believer begot the
Infidel, and the Infidel begot the Believer.
‫ وقال‬،‫ إلى الجنة بسالم‬:‫ فقال الصحاب اليمين‬،‫ فإذا هم كالذر يدبون‬،‫ فعركه عركا شديدا‬،‫ثم أخذ طين آدم من أديم االرض‬
،‫ إلى النار وال أبالى‬:‫الصحاب النار‬
Then Allahazwj Took the clay of Adamas from the crust of the earth, so Scrubbed it
with an intense Scrubbing. So they were like the particles in the beginning. So
Allahazwj Said to the companions of the right hand: “To the Paradise, with the safety”.
And Allahazwj Said to the companions of the Fire: “To the Fire, and Iazwj do not Care!”
،‫ فدخلوها‬،" ‫ " ادخلوها‬،‫ وقال الصحاب اليمين‬،‫ فهابوها‬،" ‫ " ادخلوها‬:‫ فقال الصحاب الشمال‬،‫ثم أمر نارا فاستعرت‬

Then Allahazwj Commanded a Fire, so it raged. So Allahazwj Said to the companions

of the left: “Enter it!” But, they feared it. And Allahazwj Said to the companions of the
right: “Enter it!” So they entered into it. So Allah azwj Said: “Be cool and safe!” So the
companions of the left said, ‘O Lordazwj! Tell us’.
‫ وال‬،‫ فال يستطيع هؤالء أن يكونوا من هؤالء‬،‫ فثم ثبتت الطاعة والمعصية‬،‫ فهابوها‬،‫ فذهبوا‬،‫ قد أقلتكم فادخلوها‬:‫فقال‬

Allahazwj Said: “Iazwj did Tell you”. So they entered it, but they ran away from it, and
feared it. Thus, the obedience and the disobedience was affirmed. So there is no
ability for these ones to be from those ones, nor from those ones to be from these
ones’.414

From him, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Naheyki, from Hasaan, from his father, from Abu Is’haq
Al Sabi’e,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws and Abu Abdullahasws both having said: ‘It
was at the beginning of creation that Allahazwj Created an earth, and clay, and
Caused water to flow within it. That water flowed upon the earth for seven days and
nights. Then the water dried up from it. Then Allahazwj Took from the cream of that
clay, clay of the Imamsasws. Then Allahazwj Took another Handful from the lower (part)
of that clay, and it is the clay of the children of the Imamsasws and their Shiah. If your
414
131 out of 152

clay had been left just as ourasws clay was left, you and usasws would have been one
thing.

I said, ‘So what was done with our clay?’ Imam asws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and
Majestic Created a marsh land, then Caused salty water to flow over it, and it flowed
for seven days and nights. Then the water dried up from it. Then Allah azwj Grabbed
from the crust of that clay, clay of the imams of the disbelief. So, had the clay of
ourasws enemies been left just as it was Taken, they would not have testified to the
two testimonies, that there is no god except for Allah azwj, and that Muhammadsaww is
Rasool-Allahsaww, and they would not have been performing the Hajj of the House
(Kabah), nor Umra, nor giving the Zakat, nor charity, nor knowing anything from the
righteous deeds.
،‫ ثم جذب هذه من هذه‬،‫ ثم مزجهما بالماء‬،‫ وخلطهما وعركهما عرك االديم‬،‫ أخذ هللا طينة شيعتنا وطينة عدونا‬:‫ثم قال‬
،‫ وال أبالى‬،‫ وهذه في النار‬،‫ وال أبالى‬،‫ هذه في الجنة‬:‫وقال‬
Then the Imamasws said: ‘Then Allahazwj Took the clay of ourasws Shiah and the clay of
ourasws enemies, and Mixed the two and Scrubbed them with a Scrubbing of the
surface. Then Allahazwj Blended these two with the water, then Separated this from
this and Said: “This is in the Paradise, and Iazwj do not Care, and this is in the Fire,
and Iazwj do not Care”.
‫ وما رأيت من‬،‫فما رأيت في المؤمن من زعارة وسوء الخلق واكتساب سيئات فمن تلك السبخة التي مازجته من الناصب‬

Thus, what you see in the Believer from ‘Za’arat’, and evil manners, and earning of
the sins, so it is from that marsh which was mixed up from the Nasibi. And what you
see from the good manners of the Nasibis, and versatility of his face, and good
beings, and his Fasts, and his Prayers, so it is from that march which was hit from
the (clay of the) Believer’.415

upon the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Fasting, and the Wilayah’. Zarara said, ‘And
which of that is the highest?’ So heasws said: ‘Al-Wilayah is the highest of these,
because it is their key, and the Guardianasws is the evidence over these.

I said, ‘Then which one which follows it in preference?’ The Imam asws said: ‘The
Zakat, because it has been paired with it, and beginning (Zakat) with the Salaat,
makes it Acceptable. And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Zakat does away with the
sins’.

I said, ‘So which one follows it in preference?’ Heasws said: ‘The Hajj, because
Allahazwj Says [3:97] and Pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon the people
for the Sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to
it; and whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above any
need of the worlds. And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘An Accepted Hajj is better than
twenty optional Prayers. And the one who circumambulates this House (Kabah) with
a circumambulation of the number (of days in a) week, and improves his bowings,
would be Forgiven’. And hesaww said about the day of Arafa, and the day of
Muzdalifa, what hesaww said’.
:‫ قال رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وآله‬:‫ فقال‬- ‫ وما بال الصوم صار آخر ذلك أجمع؟‬:‫ الصوم قلت‬:‫ قال‬- ‫ ثم ماذا يتبعه؟‬:‫قلت‬

،‫ وليس من تلك االربعة شئ يجزيك مكانه غيره‬،‫مكانه أياما غيرها وجبرت ذلك الذنب بصدقة وال قضاء عليك‬
I said, ‘And then what follows it?’ Heasws said: ‘The Fasting’. I said, ‘And what is the
matter that the Fasting has come to be at the end of all that together?’ So he asws
said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Fasting is a shield from the Fire’. Then the Imam asws
said: ‘The highest of the things is what when you miss it, there is no repentance from
it, apart from you returning to it and fulfilling with exactly the same. The Salaat, and
the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Wilayah, there is nothing which can take its place
apart from fulfilling it. And the Fasting, when you miss it, or ar deficient with it, or you
are travelling, you can fulfill these with other days, and you can be free from that sin
by charity, and there is no fulfilling of it upon you, and such is not from those four
things, that you can be recompense for something else in its place’.
‫ " من‬:‫ إن هللا يقول‬،‫ ذروة االمر وسنامه ومفتاحه وباب االشياء ورضى الرحمن الطاعة لالمام بعد معرفته‬:‫) ثم قال‬:‫(قال‬

Then the Imamasws said: ‘The peak of the matters, and its height, and its keyes, and
the doors of the things, and Pleasure of the Beneficent, and the obedience to the
Imamasws is after recognising himasws. Allahazwj is Saying [4:80] Whoever obeys the
Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not Sent
you as a keeper over them. But, even if a man were to stand (for Prayer) during his
night, and Fasts during his day, and gives charity with all of his wealth, and performs
Hajj all of his time, but does not recognise the Wilayah of the Guardian of Allah azwj,
all of his deeds would become evidence against him, and there would not be for him
a right upon Allahazwj with regards to the Reward, not would he be from the people of

From him, from Abu Is’haq Al Saqafy, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Aban Bin Usman, from the
one who mentioned it,
Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allah azwj Blessed and High Gave to Muhammadsaww the
Laws of Noahas, and Musaas, and Isaas, and the Tawheed (Oneness), and the
sincerity, and removal of the idols, and the nature, and the magnanimity of the
leniency; no priesthood and no touring (for spreading the Religion), Permitted therein
the good things and Prohibited therein the bad things, and placed down the burdens
and the shackles which used to be upon them (the people).
،‫ والنهي عن المنكر‬،‫ واالمر بالمعروف‬،‫ والزكوة والصيام والحج‬،‫ ثم افترض عليها فيها الصلوة‬،‫فعرف فضله بذلك‬

Thus, hissaww merit can be recognised by that. Then Obligated upon him saww therein,
the Salaat, and the Zakat, and the Fasts, and the Hajj, and the enjoining of the good,
and the forbidding from the evil, and the Permissibles, and the prohibitions, and the
inheritances, and the Limits, and the Obligations, and the Jihad in the Way of
Allahazwj, and Increased for himsaww the ablution, and Graced himsaww with the
Opening of the Book, and by sealing of the Surah Al-Baqarah, to the white and the
black, and the Jinn and the human beings. And Gave him saww the taxation, and the
captivity of the Polytheists and their expiation.
‫ ال تكلف إال‬،‫ قاتل في سبيل هللا‬:‫ وقيل له‬،‫ أنزل عليه سيفا من السماء في غير غمد‬،‫ثم كلفه ما لم يكلف أحدا من االنبياء‬

Then Imposed upon himsaww what no one from the Prophetsas had been Imposed
with – Descended upon himsaww a sword from the sky, without its sheath, and Said to
himsaww: [4:84] Fight then in Allah's Way; this is not imposed on you except in
relation to yourself. So the people took by four, and neglected this (meaning Al-

From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Najran and Ahmad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from
Abu Baseer,
(It has been narrated) from one of themasws (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘When
the Believers dies, six images enter along with him into his grave. Among these is an
image which is the most beautiful of them of face, well-built of the bodies, most
aromatic of aromas, and cleanest of the images. So an image pauses on his right,
and another on his left, and another in front of him, and another behind him, and
another by his feet, and the one which is the most beautiful of these, pauses by his
head. So if he is approached (by anything bad) from his right, that which is on his
right prevents it. Such is that case from all six sides.

you, may Allahazwj Recompense you goodly?’ So the one on the right of the servant
says: ‘I am the Salaat’, and that which is on his left says, ‘I am the Zakat’, and that
which is in front of him says: ‘I am the Fasts’, and the one which is behind him says,
‘I am the Hajj’, and that which is by his feet says: ‘I am the righteousness which you
did to your brothers’. Then they (all) say: ‘Who are you? – for you are the most
beautiful of faces, and most aromatic of aromas, and most well-built of body’. So it

‘I am along with my brother Umar (went to see) Abu Abdullah asws, so I said to
himasws, ‘This is my brother Umar, and he wants to hear something from you asws’. So

So heasws said: ‘The testimony that there is no god except for Allahazwj, and that
Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, and the five Salaat, and the Fasts of the Month
of Ramazan, and the washing from the (sexual) impurities, and Hajj of the House

So Umar said, ‘Name themasws for me, may Allahazwj Keep youasws well’. So the

matter flow to the last oneasws of usasws just as it flowed to ourasws first oneasws, and to

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘Shall Iasws inform you of the origin of the Islam, and its

and its peak and its height is the Jihad’. The Imam asws said: ‘If you so like, Iasws shall
inform you of the doors of the goodness?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for
youasws’. Heasws said: ‘The Fast is a shielf (from the Fire), and the chairity does away
with the sins, and the standing of the man in the middle of the night with the

(It has been narrated) from Aliasws who was saying: ‘The most preferable of what the
beseeching ones beseech with is the belief in Allah azwj and in Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and
the Jihaad in the Way of Allahazwj, and the sincere word speech, for it is the nature,
and the complete Salaat for it is the Religion, and giving the Zakat for it is from the
Obligations of Allahazwj, and Fasts of the Month of Ramazan for these are a shield
from Hisazwj Punishment, and Hajj of the House (Kabah) for it is beneficial for the
poverty and rebuttal of the sins, and maintaining relations with the relatives (for it)
increases the wealth and a supporting stick for the term (death), and secretive
charity for it extinguishes the errors, and extinguishes the Anger of the Lord azwj, and
the doing of good and the correct for it repulses evil death; and fear the changing
horrors.

،‫ إن هللا يبغض ثالثة‬:‫ سمعت أبا عبد هللا (ع) يقول‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن حسين بن المختار‬،‫ عن ي حيى بن ابراهيم بن أبي البالد‬،‫عنه‬
." ‫ وفي حديث آخر " المسبل إزاره خيالء‬.‫ والمنفق سلعته بااليمان‬،‫ والمسبل إزاره‬،‫ثانى عطفه‬
From him, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Allahazwj Hates three (types of people)– (1) an
arrogant one, (2) who drags his cloths on the floor (out of rudeness), (3) the one who
sells his good by swearing. In another Hadeeth, it is said - the one who drags his
cloths out of pride.463

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib Al Asady, from Sabit Bin Abu Al
Maqdaam,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Barzat (and he was visually imparited, and he was a
companion of Rasool-Allahsaww), in a lengthy Hadeeth of his, said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww
said: ‘Isaww do not fear anything over you except for three things – siding with
ignorant after the understanding, and the straying ones due to strife (Fitna), and the
intransigence of the lustful desires from the stomach and the private parts’.464

Chapter 50 – The abilities, and the compulsion, and the

authorisation
)‫ عن أبي عبد هللا (ع‬،‫ عن عبد الرحيم القصير‬،‫ حدثنى محمد بن يحيى الخثعمي‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن عباس بن عامر‬،‫ عن أبيه‬،‫عنه‬
‫ من استطاع إليه سبيال‬،‫ جعلني هللا فداك ما قول هللا " وهلل على الناس حج البيت‬:‫ سأله حفص االعور وأنا أسمع فقال‬:‫قال‬
،‫ نعم‬:‫ قال‬- ‫ قال فان كانوا موسرين فهم ممن يستطيع إليه السبيل؟‬،‫ ذلك القوة في المال واليسار‬:‫ قال‬- ‫"؟‬
From him, from his father, from Abbas Bin Aamir, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khash’amy, from
Abdul Raheem Al Qasyer,
(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws, said: ‘Hafs Al-Owr asked him, and I
was listening, so he said, ‘May Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws! What
about the Words of Allahazwj [3:97] and Pilgrimage to the House is incumbent
upon the people for the Sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to
undertake the journey to it?’ Heasws said: ‘That is the strength of the wealth and the
richness’. He said, ‘So if he was from the rich ones, so they would be from every
one who is able to undertake the journey to it?’ The Imamasws said: ‘Yes’.
‫ يكتبون في‬:‫ كان أبي يقول‬:‫ فقطع كالمه فقال‬،‫ يكتب وفد الحاج‬:‫ بلغنا عن أبي جعفر (ع) أنه كان يقول‬،‫فقال له ابن سيابة‬
،‫ ال‬:‫ قال‬- ‫ فان لم يكتب في تلك الليلة يستطيع الحج؟‬:‫ " فيها يف رق كل أمر حكيم أمرا من عندنا " قال‬:‫الليلة التي قال هللا‬
.‫ لست من خصومتكم في شئ هكذا االمر‬:‫ فتكلم حفص بن سالم فقال‬،‫معاذ هللا‬
So Ibn Sayaba said to himasws, ‘It has reached us from Abu Ja’farasws that heasws was
saying: ‘The delegations for Hajj are Ordained’, so he cut off his speech’. So he asws
said: ‘Myasws fatherasws was saying: ‘It is Ordained during the night for which Allah azwj
has Said [44:4] Therein every wise affair is made distinct, [44:5] A Command
from Us’. He said, ‘So if it is not Oradine during that night, there is no ability for
Hajj?’ Heasws said: ‘No, Allahazwj Forbid!’ So Hafs Bin Saalim spoke, so heasws said: ‘It
is not from your disputes regarding a thing the affair of which is like this’.465
،‫ إن هللا أكرم من أن يكلف الناس ما ال يطيقون‬:‫ عن أبي عبد هللا (ع) قال‬،‫ عن هشام بن سالم‬،‫ عن علي بن الحكم‬،‫عنه‬
.‫وهللا أعز من أن يكون في سلطانه ما ال يريد‬
464

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allahazwj is more Benevolent than to Impose upon the
people what they cannot endure. And Allah azwj is more Honourable than for there to
be in Hisazwj Government what Heazwj does not Want’.466
‫ إنما كلفهم في‬،‫ ما كلف هللا العباد إال ما يطيقون‬:‫ عن أبي عبد هللا (ع) قال‬،‫ عن هشام بن سالم‬،‫ عن علي بن حكم‬،‫عنه‬
‫ وكلفهم حجة‬،‫ وكلفهم صيام شهر رمضان في السنة‬،‫ وكلفهم من كل مأتى درهم خمسة دراهم‬،‫اليوم والليلة خمس صلوات‬
.‫واحدة وهم يطيقون أكثر من ذلك وانما كلفهم دون ما يطيقون ونحو هذا‬
From him, from Ali Bin Hakam, from Hisham Bin Saalim,
Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allahazwj does not Impose upon the servant what they
cannot endure. But rather, Heazwj has Imposed upon them during the day and the
night, five Salaat; and Imposed them from every two hundred Dirhams, five Dirhams;
and Imposed upon them Fasts of the Month of Ramazan during one year; and
Imposed upon them one Hajj although they are able to endure more than that. But
rather, Heazwj Imposed upon them besides what they are enduring, and
approximately this’.467
‫ إن هللا لم‬:‫ إنا نقول‬:‫ قلت له‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن حمزة بن حمران‬،‫ عن الحسين بن المختار‬،‫ ع ن حماد بن عيسى‬،‫ عن أبيه‬،‫عنه‬
:‫ فقال‬،‫ وال يكون إال ما شاء هللا وقضى وقدر وأراد‬،‫ وكل شئ ال يطيقونه فهو عنهم موضوع‬،‫يكلف العباد إال ما آتاهم‬
.‫وهللا إن هذا لدينى ودين آبائى‬
From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Hamza Bin
Hamran who said,
‘I said to himasws, ‘We are saying that Allahazwj does not Impose upon the servant
except what Heazwj has Given them, and everything that they cannot endure, so it is
their own placing, and nothing happens except what Allah azwj so Desires, and
Judges, and Pre-determines, and Intends’. So the Imam asws said: ‘By Allahazwj! This
is of myasws Religion and the Religion of myasws forefathers asws’.468
‫ رجل كان له مال‬:)‫ قلت البي عبد هللا (عليه السالم‬:‫ قال‬،‫ عن أبي بصير‬،‫ عن هشام بن سالم‬،‫ عن علي بن الحكم‬،‫عنه‬
‫ من عرض عليه الحج فاستحيى ولو على حمار أجدع مقطوع الذنب فهو‬:‫ فقال‬- ‫فذهب ثم عرض عليه الحج فاستحيى؟‬
‫ فان لم يكتب في‬:‫ " فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم أمرا من عندنا " قال‬:‫ يكتبون في الليلة التي قال هللا‬:‫ كان أبي يقول‬:‫ممن فقال‬
.‫ لست من خصومتكم في شئ هكذا االمر‬:‫ فتكلم حفص بن سالم فقال‬،‫ معاذ هللا‬،‫ ال‬:‫ قال‬- ‫تلك الليلة يستطيع الحج؟‬
From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘A man had wealth for himself, so it went away. The Hajj
presented itself to him, so should he revive it?’ So heasws said: ‘The one to whom Hajj
presents itself so he should revive it, even though it be upon a donkey which limps
and its ears are cut off, so he is from those. Myasws fatherasws was saying: ‘It is
Ordained during the night for which Allahazwj has Said [44:4] Therein every wise
affair is made distinct, [44:5] A Command from Us’. He said, ‘So if it is not
Oradined during that night, there is no ability for Hajj?’ He asws said: ‘No, Allahazwj

regarding a thing, the affair of which is like this’.469
