For You To See True Happiness


W.P.S: AbulHasan Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Hasan bin Walld, from his father, from Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin AbiHamza, from Abdullah bin Walid, who said:

I went to visit Abu AbdillahJaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.).

Abu AbdillahJaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) asked me, “Where are you from?”

I replied, “Kufa.”

Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) said:

"The people of Kufa love us more than others, especially your group. Allah (swt) has guided you to our love which is ignored by others. So you love us and others hate us; you pay allegiance to us and others disobey us; you believe in us and others disbelieve in us. Therefore Allah (swt) will make you live with us and die with us.

I testify that my father, Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.), used to say, “All that it takes for you to see true happiness is to hold on to us until your soul reaches here,” and he pointed to his throat. Allah (swt) describes us in this verse by saying,

“And indeed, We sent messengers before you, and We gave them wives and offspring” (13:38). 

We are the offspring of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.)."

(Ref: Amaali of Tousi 1:143.)
