Allah (s.w.t.)Has Given Me Five Virtues

The scholar Abu Mohammad Hasan bin Husain bin Babeweyh, narrated from the blessed scholar Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Tousi, from the great scholar Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Mohammad bin No’man, from Abu Abdillah Mohammad bin Riah Al- Qarashi, from his father, from Abu Ali Hasan bin Mohammad, fromHasan bin Mahboub. from Ali bin Reaab from AbiBaseer, from Mohammad bin Ali (a.s.), who said:

Once Abu Dhar and Salman went looking for the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). They were told that he had gone toward Quba. They went to look for him and found him in Sujood under a tree. They sat down waiting for him to come up but he took so long that they thought he might have fallen asleep. They moved to wake him up but he raised his head.

The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:

I could see and hear you, and I was not sleeping. Allah (swt) sent every prophet before me to his nation with his own language, but He sent me to all nations with Arabic.

He has given me five virtues that He has never given to any prophet before me:

He supports me with fear in the heart of the enemies; people believe in me by hearing about me even if they are at one month’s traveling distance away from me;

He has made plunder in wars permissible for me;

He has made earth pure and clean and assigned it as a place for my Sujood, and I can use it for TAYAMMUM (ablution with dust) wherever I am and pray on it.

He has allowed every prophet to ask Him for one thing. They all asked Him and He granted their requests in this world. But I delayed asking until the Day of Judgement because I will ask Him to accept my intercession for the sinners from my nation and He will accept it.

Allah (swt) has given me the complete knowledge of everything, and He has not given this to any prophet before me. And He has given Ali (as) the keys and power of speech.

So my request will wait until the Day of Judgement and my intercession will be for those who die believing in Allah (swt) and associate no one with Him, accept me, follow my successor, and love my family. (as)

Prasise Be To The Lord

The knowledgeable scholar Abu Ali Hasan bin AbiJaafar 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 Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.) bin Qulaweyh, from his father, from Saad bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Isa, from Mohammad bin Sanan, from Mofazz’al bin Amr, from Jaafar bin Mohammad (a.s.), who said:

The Separator Of Right From Wrong

The knowledgeable scholar Abu Ali Hasan bin AbiJaafar 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 Bakr Mohammad bin Omar Al-Jo’aabi, from Abul Abbas Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Saeed, from Ahmad bin Yahya Al-Ewadi, from Isma’eel bin Abaan, from Fuz’ail bin Zubair, from Abu Abdillah servant of BaniHashim, from AbiSukheila, who said:

I went to Hajj with Salman Al-Faresi, and on the way we stopped in Rabatha where Abu Dhar Al-Ghefaari was in exile (by the order of Othman bin Affan).

Abu Dhar said to us, “There will be a dark conspiracy after my death, so hold on to two things: the Qur’an and our master, Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.).

I swear that I heard the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) say:

Ali (as) is the first one who believed in me and trusted me. He is the first one who will shake my hand on the Day of Judgement. He is SEDDIQ AL-AKBAR (the greatest truthful one), and he is the separator of right from wrong in this nation.

He is the leader of the believers, while wealth is the leader of the hypocrites.

My Two Ministers

The knowledgeable scholar Abu Najm Mohammad bin Abdul Wahhab bin Isa Al-Raazi, narrated from the scholar Abu Saeed Mohammad bin Ahmad bin Husain Al-Neishaabouri, from Abu Mohammad Hasan bin Ahmad bin Husain, from Abu Ali Hasan bin Mohammad bin Hasan Al-Ahwazi, from AbulQasemHasan bin Mohammad bin Sahl Al-Faresi, from Abu Zar’ah Ahmad bin Mohammad bin Musa Al-Faresi, from AbulHasan Ahmad bin Yaqoub Al- Balkhi, from Mohammad bin Jurayr, from Haitham bin Husain bin Mohammad bin Omar, from Mohammad bin Harun bin Ammarah, from his father, from Anas bin Malik, who said:

I was walking with the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.). When we got to Baqee’, we saw a dead tree. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) sat under this tree and it became green and fruitful.

It offered shade to the Prophets so he smiled and said to me, “Go and get Ali bin Abi Taleb (as) for me.”

I went to the house of Fatema (s.a.) and found Ali (a.s.) eating.I said to him, “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) calls you, so answer his call.”

Ali (a.s.) came running until we got to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.). The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) told Ali (a.s.) to sit next to him. I watched them talk and laugh together, and I noticed that Ali’s face was shining brightly.

Then I saw a dish made of gold that was decorated with corundum and other jewels. The dish was filled with grapes and dates, although it was not the season for such fruits.This dish had four corners with a message inscribed on each corner:

“There is no god but Allah (swt). Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah (swt),” was the message inscribed on the first corner of the plate.

“There is no god but Allah (swt). Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah (swt). Ali bin AbiTaleb (as) is Allah (swt)’s Wali. And Ali is Allah (swt)’s sword on the disloyal ones, the perfidious, and the apostates,” was the message inscribed on the second corner of the plate.

“There is no god but Allah (swt). Mohammad is the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.). I supported Mohammad by giving him Ali bin AbiTaleb (as),” was the message inscribed on the third corner of the plate.

“Those who believe in the religion of Allah (swt) and follow the family of the Prophet will be saved,” was the message inscribed on the fourth corner of the plate.

The Prophets (saww) started eating from this dish and feeding Ali bin AbiTaleb (a.s.) until they were full, and then the dish disappeared.

Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) asked me (Anas), “Do you know what this tree is?”

I replied, “Yes.”

The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:

Three hundred and thirteen prophets have sat under this tree and three hundred and thirteen successors have sat under this tree. There is no Prophet more honorable than myself and there is no successor more honorable than Ali bin Abi Taleb (as).

O Anas! Those who want to see Adam (as) and his knowledge, Ibrahim (s) and his reverence, Sulaymaan(as) and his judgement, Yahya (as)and his asceticism, Ayoub(as) and his patience, and Isma’eel (as) and his truthfulness, should look at Ali bin AbiTaleb (as).

O Anas! Allah (swt) has chosen one minister for every prophet but He has chosen four for me: two in the heavens and two on earth. My two ministers in the heavens are jibraeel and Mikaeel, and my two ministers on earth are Ali bin AbiTaleb and my uncle, Hamza.

And you will appoint the successors after you from your sons, and they will appoint their sons one after another until it gets to the best creation after you on earth.

My nation will disbelieve in Allah (swt) by not accepting you, and there will be an intense controversy about you. Those who stay with you will stay with me in Paradise, and those who leave you will go to Hell, and Hell is the destination of the disbelievers.

(Ref: Amaali of Sadouq 329.Elal Al-Sharae’ 328.)

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.)

What is wrong with you people?! When you hear about the family of Ibrahim (as) you become happy and excited, but when you hear about my family your hearts become disgusted. I swear to Allah (swt), who has my life in His hand, that on the Day of Judgement, even if you come with the good deeds of seventy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Allah (swt) will reject you if you do not accept my Wilayat and the Wilayat of my family.
