I said to Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.), “I travel to non-Muslim countries and  some people tell me that if I die in those countries I will be resurrected with them.”

Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) asked, “When you are in those countries, do you talk about us and invite people to us?”

“Yes,” I replied. Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) asked, “But if you were in Muslim countries would  you have
talked about us and invited people to us?”

“No.” I replied.

Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) replied, “When you die you will be resurrected as  an entire nation and there will be a light that leads your way on the Day of  Judgement.”

Who So Ever Follows Me

The knowledgeable scholar Abu Ali Hasan bin Abi Jaafar Al-Tousi narrated from his blessed father Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi, from the scholar Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No‟man, from Abu Abdillah Husain bin Ahmad bin Moghirah, from Haidar bin Mohammad Al-Samarqandi, from Mohammad bin Omar Al-Kashi, from Mohammad bin Mas‟oud Al-Ayyashi, from Jaafar bin Maaroof, from Yaqoub bin Yazid, from Mohammad bin Adhaafer, from Omar bin  Yazid, from Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.), who said:

“O Ibn Yazid! I swear to Allah that you are from us.”

Omar bin Yazid said, “May I sacrifice my life for you! Do you mean one of  you, as in the family of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.)?”

Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) replied:

Yes, I swear to Allah that you are of the family of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). 

Have you not read Allah‟s words, “Verily, the nearest of men to Ibrahim are surely those  who followed

him, and this Prophet (s.a.w.a.) (Mohammad), and those who believe; and Allah is the guardian of the faithful” (3:68). 

Have you not read Allah‟s words, “So  whoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeys me, then verily You are the  oft-forgiving, the merciful” (14:36)

Red Yellow And White Aqeeq

The scholar Abu Mohammad Hasan bin Husain bin Babeweyh narrated from the blessed scholar Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi. from Shaykh Al-Mufid Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No‟man Al-Harethi, from Abul Hasan Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Hasan, from his father, from Mohammad bin Yahya Al-Attar, from Hasan bin Musa Al-Khashnb, from Ali bin No‟man, from Basheer Al-Dahhan, who said:

I asked Abi Jaafar Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.) (a.s.), “What kind of a stone should I use for my ring?”

He replied:

Red Aqeeq, yellow Aqeeq, or white Aqeeq because these three mountains are in Paradise. The mountain of red Aqeeq overlooks the house of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), the mountain of yellow Aqeeq overlooks the house of Fatema (sa), and the mountain of white Aqeeq overlooks the house of Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.), and these three houses are one house.

Three rivers run from under the three mountains of Aqeeq. Their water is colder than ice, sweeter than honey, and whiter than milk. No one except Mohammad (s.a.w.a.), his family, and their Shia can drink from these rivers.

All three rivers start from the river of Kawthar and run to the same estuary.

The three mountains of Aqeeq sanctify, glorify, and praise Allah, and seek forgiveness for those who love the family of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.).

So those Shia who wear Aqeeq will see nothing but good and blessings in their sustenance and health, and they will be protected from all troubles.

Aqeeq protects Shia from unjust rulers and from everything else which causes fear.

The tears of those slaves who shed tears on us will be collected and kept in containers in Paradise for them.
