CHAPTER 18 – (RARE CHAPTER) REGARDING THE IMAMSasws AND THEIRasws WONDERS

بن معروف عن حماد بن عيسى عن حريز عن فضيل بن يسار عن ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم قال ان حدثنا العباس) 1( على بن الحسين اوتى بعسل فشربه فقال واهللا انى ال علم من اين هذا العسل واين ارضه وانه ليمتار من قرية آذى و آذى

1 – It has been narrated to us by by Al-Abbas Bin Ma’rouf, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Fazel Bin Yasaar:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws was given honey. Heasws drank it and said: ‘ Who knows besides Allahazwj from where this honey has come from, and where it has originated from, and it has the characteristics of being from such and such a town’.

حدثنا على بن محمد عن محمد بن عيسى عن عبدى يرفعه إلى ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم قال ابى اهللا ان يجرى ) 2(االشياء اال باالسباب فجعل لكل شئ سببا وجعل لكل سبب شرحا وجعل لكل شرح مفتاحا وجعل لكل مفتاح علما و جعل

. هللا ذلك رسول اهللا صلى اهللا عليه وآله ونحنلكل علم بابا ناطقا من عرفه عرف اهللا ومن انكره انكر ا

2 – It has been narrated to us by by Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdy with an unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullahasws

Abu Abullah said: ‘Allahazwj Disdains that Heazwj should Make things to flow without reasons. Heazwj has Made for everything a reason, and Made for every reason an explanation, and Made for every explanation a key, and Made for every key a knowledge, and Made for every knowledge a speaking door. Whoever recognises himasws (the speaking door) has recognised Allahazwj, and whoever denies himasws has denied Allahazwj. That (door) is the Rasool Allahsaww and usasws’.

حدثنا على ابن اسماعيل عن محمد بن عمرو بن سعيد عن بعض اصحابنا عن نصر بن قابوس قال سئلت ابا عبد ) 3(اهللا عليه السالم عن قول اهللا عزوجل وظل ممدود وماء مسكوب وفاآهة آثيرة ال مقطوعة وال ممنوعة قال يانصر انه

. ليس حيث تذهب الناس انما هو العالم وما يخرج منه

3 – It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Saeed, from one of our companions, from Nasr Bin Qaboos who said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic “[56:30] And extended shade, [56:31] And water flowing constantly, [56:32] And abundant fruit, [56:33] Neither intercepted nor forbidden”. Heasws said: ‘O Nasr, it is not where the people are going (Not as people understand it to be), but rather (it’s meaning is that), heasws is the knowledgeable oneasws, and only (knowledge) comes out from himasws’.

حدثنا على بن اسماعيل عن محمد بن عمرو بن سعيد عن بعض اصحابنا عن نصر بن قابوس قال سألت ابا عبد اهللا ) 4(شيد االمام عليه السالم عن قول اهللا عزوجل وبئر معطلة وقصر مشيد قال البئر المعطلة االمام الصامت والقصر الم

4 – It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Saeed, from one of our companions, from Nasr Bin Qaboos who said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic “[22:45] and deserted well and palace raised high”. Heasws said: ‘The deserted well is the silent Imamasws, and the palace raised high, is the speaking Imamasws’.

حدثنا ابراهيم بن هاشم عن على بن معبد عن الحسين بن خالد عن ابى الحسن الرضا عليه السالم قال سئلته فقلت ) 5(له الرحمن علم القرآن قال ان اهللا علم القرآن قال قلت خلق االنسان علمه البيان قال ذاك امير المؤمنين علمه بيان آل قو

. شئ مما يحتاج الناس إليه

5 – It has been narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashaam, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid:

I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws regarding (the Verse), “[55:1] The Beneficent Allah, [55:2] Taught the Quran”. Heasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Taught the Quran’. I said, “[55:3] He created man [55:4] Taught him the explanation”. Heasws said: ‘That is Amir-ul-Momineenasws. Heazwj Taught himasws the explanation of all things that the people will need from himasws’.

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن القاسم بن يحيى عن الحسن بن راشد قال سمعت ابا ابراهيم يقول ان اهللا اوحى إلى محمد ) 6(صلى اهللا عليه وآله انه قد فنيت ايامك وذهبت دنياك واحتجت إلى لقاء ربك فرفع النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله يده إلى السماء

فأوحى اهللا خلف الميعاد فأوحى اهللا إليه ان ائت احدا انت ومن تثق به فاعاد الدعاءوقال اللهم عدتك التى وعدتني انك ال تإليه امض انت وابن عمك حتى تأتى احدا ثم لتصعد على ظهره فاجعل القبلة في ظهرك ثم ادع واحس الجبل بمجيئك فإذا

اجها دما وهى التى لك فمر ابن عمك حسك فاعمد إلى جفرة منهن انثى وهى تدعى الجفرة تجد قرينها الطلوع وتشخب اودليقم إليها فيذبحها ويسلخها من قبل الرقبة ويقلب داخلها فتجده مدبوغا وسأنزل عليك الروح وجبرئيل معه داوة و قلم ومداد ليس هو من مداد االرض يبقى المداد ويبقى الجلد ال يأآله االرض وال يبليه التراب ال يزداد آل ما ينشر اال جدة

فيأتى وحى يعلم ماآان وما يكون اليك وتمليه على ابن عمك وليكتب ويمد من تلك الدوات انه يكون محفوظا مستوراغير

6 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Qasim Bin yahya, from Al-Hassan Bin Rashid who said:

‘I heard Abu Ibrahimasws (Imam Musa e Kazimasws) say that: ‘Allahazwj Revealed unto Muhammadsaww: “Yoursaww worldly days are coming to an end and yoursaww earthly life has finished, and yousaww have to proceed towards the meeting with yoursaww Lordazwj”. So the Prophetsaww raised hissaww hands towards the sky and said: ‘Our Allahazwj, Yourazwj Promise, which Youazwj Made with mesaww. Youazwj do not Change after Committing’. Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww that: ‘Yousaww come with the oneasws yousaww trust’. So hesaww supplicated again. O Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww again: “Yousaww and the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas should go to the Mount Ohad, then climb from its back so that yoursaww back would be towards the Qibla, then call the mountain to feel yoursaww presence. When it does, take a young healthy female sheep, and then tell the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas to slaughter it by the neck and turn its skin and you will find inside it an insignia. So, the Spirit and Jibraeel will descend upon yousaww, and with him will be a paper and a pen and ink, which is not from the inks of the earth. The ink will remain, and the skin will remain, and the earth shall not devour (degrade) it nor will the dust spoil it. All that is in it will not be increased and will remain preserved, hidden.

4 out of 48


So a Revelation will come to yousaww to inform you what has happened in the past and what is to transpire in the future to yousaww, and yousaww should dictate it to the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas, and heasws should write it with that very ink.

فمضى ص حتى انتهى إلى الجبل ففعل ما امره فصادف ما وصف له ربه فلما ابتداء في سلخ الجفرة نزل جبرئيل والروح االمين وعدة من المالئكة ال يحصى عددهم اال اهللا ومن حضر ذلك المجلس ثم وضع على عليه السالم الجلد بين

را وانور ثم نزل الوحى على محمد صلى اهللا عليه وآله يديه وجاء به والدوات والمداد اخضر آهيئة البقل واشد خضوجعل يملى على على عليه السالم ويكتب على انه يصف آل زمان وما فيه و غمزه بالنظر والنظروخبره بكل ماآان وما

هو آائن إلى يوم القيمة وفسر له اشياء ال يعلم تأويلها اال اهللا والراسخون في العلم

So, hesaww went until hesaww ended up at the mountain and did what hesaww had been Ordered to do. Hesaww encountered whatsoever that hissaww Lordazwj had Described to himsaww. When hesaww began to slice the sheep, Jibraeel and the Spirit descended, along with a number of the Angels whose number is not known, except to Allahazwj, and they were present in that gathering. Then Aliasws placed the skin in front of himasws, and got prepared to write upon it by the ink, which was green like the vegetables, and even greener and more illuminating. Then Revelation descended upon Muhammadsaww, and hesaww went on to dictate to Aliasws, and heasws wrote upon it the description of every era and whatever was regarding it and information of all that which had happened and that which was going to happen up to the Day of Judgement. And hesaww explained to himasws things whose interpretation is not known to any but Allahazwj and those who are firmly rooted in the knowledge (Al-Rasikoon Fil Ilm).

فاخبره بالكاينين من اولياء اهللا من ذريته ابدا إلى يوم القيمة واخبره بكل عدو يكون لهم في آل زمان من االزمنة حتى فهم ذلك وآتب ثم اخبره بامر يحدث عليه وعليهم من بعده فسأله عنها فقال الصبر الصبر واوصى االولياء بالصبر

الفرج واخبره باشراط اوانه واشراط تولده وعالمات تكون في ملك واوصى إلى اشياعهم بالصبر و التسليم حتى يخرج . بنى هاشم فمن هذا الكتاب استخرجت احاديث المالحم آلها أو صار الوصي إذا افضى إليه االمر تكلم بالعجب

So hesaww informed himasws of what is to transpire with the Guardians of Allahazwj from hisasws descendants, from the beginning up to the Day of Judgement, and informed himasws of everyone who will be an enemy to himasws, in every era or the eras until heasws understood that and wrote it down. Then hesaww informed himasws of the events that will transpire with himasws and with themasws (hisasws descendantsasws) from after himasws. So heasws asked about it. Hesaww said: ‘The patience, the patience, and Isaww bequeath the patience to the successorsasws and to submit until such time as the coming of the relief (Al-Qaimasws). And hesaww informed himasws of the signs of hisasws time, and the signs of the generation, and the portents (signs), which will take place during the kingdom of the Clan of Hashim. So, from this Book, heasws could extract all the epic events, or if it goes to the successorasws when the Command comes to himasws, heasws speaks of wonders.

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن ابن سنان عن مرازم وموسى بن بكر قاال سمعنا ابا عبد اهللا يقول انا اهل بيت لم يزل اهللا ) 7( . ما يسعنا آتمانه ما نستطيع ان تحدث به احديبعث منا من يعلم آتابه من اوله إلى اخره وانا عندنا من حالل اهللا وحرامه

7 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Maraazim and Musa Bin Bakr who said:

‘We heard Abu Abdullahasws say: ‘With regards to the Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj never Ceased to Send from usasws, the oneasws who knows Hisazwj Book from

its beginning to its end, and that in ourasws possession is the Permissibles of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Prohibitions and what is to conceal and what is to reveal from that which is going to occur (until the Hereafter).

حدثنا الحسن بن موسى الخشاب عن اسماعيل بن مهران عن عثمان بن جبله عن آامل التمار قال آنت عند ابى عبد ) 8( ونقول فيكم ما شئنا قال فاستوى جالسا ثم قال وعسى اجعل لنا اربابا نؤب إليهماهللا عليه السالم ذات يوم فقال له يا آامل غير معطوفة ان نقول ما خرج اليكم من علمنا اال الفا

8 – It has been narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Musa Al-Khashaab, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Usmaan Bin Jabalah, from Kaamil Al-Tammar who said:

‘One day I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, heasws said: ‘O Kaamil, (Allahazwj) has Made us ‘Arbaab’ (sustainer of people) and have Asked people to turn to us and then said, our knowledge is unique and it does not help if one tries to seek it from (others) thousands.

ن مسلم عن ابى جعفر عليه حدثنا محمد بن الحسين عن احمد بن محمد بن ابى نصر عن عبد الكريم عن محمد ب) 9(السالم قال جاء اعرابي حتى قام على باب المسجد فتوسم فرأى ابا جعفر فعقل ناقته ودخل وجثى على رآبتيه وعليه شملة فقال أبو جعفر عليه السالم من اين جئت يا اعرابي قال جئت من اقصى البلدان قال أبو جعفر عليه السالم البلد اوسع من

ت قال جئت من احقاف عاد قال نعم فرأيت ثمة سدرة إذا مر التجار بها استظلوا بفيئها قال وما علمك ذاك فمن اين جئ جعلني اهللا فداك قال هو عندنا في آتاب واى شئ رايت ايضا

9 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Muhammad Bin Muslim:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘An Arabi1 went and stood at the door of the Masjid. He looked expectantly at Abu Ja’farasws, tied up his camel, and came up and kneeled in front of him, and he had a ‘Shamla’ (garment) on him. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Where do you come from, O Arabi ?’ He said, ‘I come from a country far away’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The country is bigger than that, so where do you come from?’ He said, ‘I come from the caves of Aad’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, so have you seen a cave that when the traders pass by they take shelter in it with their goods?’ He said, ‘Who has taught youasws, may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws?’ Imamasws said: ‘It is in a Book which is in ourasws possession and everything else that you have seen as well’.

قال رأيت واديا مظلما فيه الهام والبوم ال يبصره قعره قال وتدرى ما ذاك الوادي قال ال واهللا ما ادرى قال ذاك برهوت فيه نسمة آل آافر ثم قال اين بلغت قال فقطع باالعرابي فقال بلغت قوما جلوسا في مجالسهم ليس لهم طعام وال شراب اال

. نهابنه قال سبحان اهللا ما اعجب هذا الرجل يخبرنا من خبر السماء وال يدرى اين اب

He said, ‘I have seen a dark valley in which are reptiles and owls, and its bottom cannot be seen’. Imamasws asked: ‘Do you know what that valley is?’ He replied, ‘No, by Allahazwj, I do not know’. Imamasws said: ‘That is Barhoot in which is every infidel’. Then he said, ‘Who told youasws?’ Imamasws turned away from the Bedouin and said: ‘Iasws reached a people and sat in their gathering. They did not have with them any food except for the milk of their sheep, and that was their food and their drink’.

Then heasws looked at the sky and said: ‘Our Allahazwj, curse him’. So the people sitting around himasws said, ‘May we be sacrificed for you’. Imamasws said: ‘He is Kabeella who is being punished by the heat of the sun and the bitter cold’. Then another man came, so heasws said to him: ‘Have you seen Ja’farasws?’ So the Bedouin said, ‘And who is this Ja’farasws that heasws is asking about?’ They said, ‘That is hisasws sonasws’. He said, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, how strange is this man. Heasws informs us of the news from the sky and does not know where hisasws sonasws is!’

حدثنا محمد بن الحسين عن احمد بن محمد بن ابى نصر عن عبد الكريم عن محمد بن مسلم قال دخلت انا وابو ) 10(جعفر مسجد الرجال فإذا بطاوس اليماني يقول ال صحابه تدرون متى قتل نصف الناس فسمعه أبو جعفر عليه السالم

ل وهابيل قال صدقت يابن رسول اهللا صلى اهللا عليه وآله نصف الناس قال انما هو ربع الناس انما هو آدم وحوا وقابي

10 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

‘I and Abu Ja’farasws entered the Masjid which was full of men and there was Tawoos Al-Yamani saying to his companions, ‘Do you all know when half the people were killed?’ Abu Ja’farasws heard him say ‘half the people’, so heasws said: ‘But rather it was a quarter of the people. There were Adamas, and Hawwaas, and Habeelas and kabeella’. He (Tawoos) said, ‘Youasws have spoken the truth, O sonasws of the Rasool2 Allahsaww’.

قال محمد بن مسلم قلت في نفسي هذه واهللا مسألة قال فغدوت إليه في منزله فلبس ثيابه واسرح له قال فبدأني بالحديث قبل ان اسأله فقال يا محمد بن مسلم ان بالهند وبتلقأ الهند رجل يلبس المسوح مغلولة يده إلى عنقه موآل به عشرة رهط

ل مكانه آخر يدور مع الشمس حيث ما دارت يعذب بحر الشمس وزمهرير تفنى الناس وال يفنون آل ما ذهب واحد جع . البرد حتى تقوم الساعة قد قلت وماذا جعلني اهللا فداك قال ذاك قابيل

Muhammad Bin Muslim said, ‘I said to myself, ‘This is a problem’. I came to hisasws house and heasws put on clothes for relaxation. Heasws started narrating to me before I could question himasws. Heasws said: ‘O Muhammad Bin Muslim, in India there are free people who have clothed a man in black clothes and tied up his hands behind his neck, and a group of ten people have been assigned to him. The people die but the group remains, as one man is replaced by another one to take his place when he dies. They turn his face towards the sun wherever it goes, punishing him by the heat of the sun, and the bitterness of the cold up until the Establishment of the Hour’. So I said, ‘Who is that, may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘That is Kabeel’.

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار عن البرقى عن فضالة بن ايوب عن عبيده قال قلت البي جعفر عليه السالم ان سالم بن ) 11(اما بلغك انه من مات ليس له امام مات ميتة جاهلية فقلت بلى فقال من امامك قلت ائمتى آل محمد قال ابى حفصه قال

11 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al-Barqy, from Fazaalat Bin Ayub, from Ubeyda who said:

2 Messenger of

7 out of 48


‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws that, ‘Saalam Bin Abu Hafs said, ‘Has it reached you that the one who dies, and he has no Imamasws for him, has died the death of an ignorant one?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Who is your Imamasws?’ I said, ‘My Imamsasws are the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww’. He said, ‘By Allahazwj, what I hear from you, is what I understand to be an Imamasws’.

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Woe upon Saalam. Does Saalam know what is the status of the Imamasws?’ The Imamasws is greater and higher than what Saalam and all the people together make it out to be, and heasws (the Imam) from usasws does not pass away at all, except that, Allahazwj Appoints oneasws from (usasws) after himasws whose actions are similar to hisasws actions, and will walk on hisasws path, and will call to (people) in a similar way to which heasws (hisasws predecessor) called to, and heasws has not been prevented from what Allahazwj has Granted to Dawoodas, that heas granted to Suleimanas, greater than what had been Granted to Dawoodas’.

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار عن ابى عبد اهللا البرقى عن فضالة عن عبد الحميد بن نصر قال قال أبو عبد اهللا ) 12(ينكرون االمام المفترض الطاعة ويجحدون به واهللا ما في االرض منزلة اعظم عند اهللا من مفترض الطاعة وقد آان

. ذريتك ال يكون في غيرهم

12 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abu Abdullah Al-Barqy, from Fazaalat, from Abdul Hameed Bin Nasr who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘He is denying the obligatory obedience to the Imamasws, and he is fighting against it. By Allahazwj, there is nothing in the earth greater in the Presence of Allahazwj than the obligatory obedience, and Ibrahimas was around for a long time. The Command Descended upon himas from Allahazwj, and there was no obligatory obedience until Allahazwj Honoured himas and Made himas greater. Heazwj Said: “[2:124] Surely I will make you an Imam of men” Ibrahimas realised what it contains of the preference. Heas said: ‘And of my offspring? My covenant does not include the unjust, said He”. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘But it is to be in hisas (holy) descendants, and it will not be (reach) in others’.

حدثنا عبد اهللا ابى القاسم عن حماد بن عيسى عن الحسين بن المختار القالنسى عن ابى بصير عن ابى جعفر عليه ) 13( . السالم في قوله وآتيناهم ملكا عظيما فقال الطاعة المفروضة

13 – It has been narrated to us by Abdullah Abu Al-Qasim, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Mukhtar Al-Qalanasy, from Abu Baseer:

Abu Ja’farasws, regarding Allah'sazwj Statement “[4:54] and We have given them a grand kingdom, said: ‘ (its regarding) the obligatory obedience (to an Imamasws)’.

بى جعفر عليه السالم في قوله وآتيناهم ملكا عظيما فقال الطاعة حدثنا يعقوب بن يزيد عن ابن ابى عمير عن ا) 14( . المفروضة

14 – It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, who has said from Ibn Abu Umeyr:

Abu Ja’farasws, regarding Hisazwj Statement: “[4:54] and We have given them a grand kingdom”, said: ‘ (its about) the obligatory obedience (to a Divine Imamasws)’.

حدثنا يعقوب بن يزيد عن ابن ابى عمير عن منصور عن فضيل االعور عن ابى عبيدة الحذاء قال آنا زمان ابى ) 15(ة من امامك قال ائمتى آل جعفر حين مضى عليه السالم نردد آالغنم الراعى لها فلقينا سالم بن ابى حفصة فقال يا ابا عبيد

محمد صلى اهللا عليه وآله فقال هلكت واهلكت اما سمعت انا وانت وابا جعفر عليه السالم فهو يقول من مات ليس له امام مات ميتة جاهلية قلت بلى لعمري لقد آان ذلك ثم بعد ذلك بثلث أو نحوها دخلنا على ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم فرزق اهللا

فدخلت عليه فقلت له لقيت سالما فقال لى آذا وآذا وقلت له آذى وآذى فقال أبو عبد اهللا عليه السالم ياويل لنا المعرفةلسالم يا ويل لسالم ثلث مرات اما يدرى سالم ما منزلة االمام االمام اعظم مما يذهب إليه سالم والناس اجمعين يا ابا عبيدة

حكم بحكم داود وسليمان ال يسئل اهللا اهللا جعلت فداك قال نعم يا ابا عبيده انه إذا قام قائم آل محمد صلى اهللا عليه وآله . الناس بينة

15 – It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour, from Fazeyl Al-Awr, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Hazaa who said:

It was the era of Abu Ja’farasws when heasws had just passed away (met martyrdom), and we were like sheep with no shepherd to them. I met Saalam Bin Abu Hafs. He said, ‘O Ubeyda, who is your Imamasws?’ I said, ‘My Imamsasws are the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww’.

He said, ‘You have perished and caused others to perish, but I have, have you not hear from Abu Ja’farasws , who has said: ‘One who dies and he has not an Imamasws for him, has died the death of ‘Jahiliya’ (without religion)?’ I said, ‘Yes, by my life, it has been like that, and also (I have heard) a third one (similar to this). But let us go to Abu Abdullahasws.

Allahazwj will Give us the sustenance of understanding. I came to himasws and said to himasws, ‘I met Saalam. He said to me such and such, and I said to him such and such’. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Woe be unto Saalam, Woe be unto Saalam’, three times, ‘But, does Saalam know what is the status of the Imamasws?’

An Imamasws is greater than what Saalam takes it to be, and what all the people do. O Abu Ubeyda, heasws from usasws does not pass away until heasws leaves behind oneasws after himasws who will act similarly to hisasws actions, and walks on the path similar to hisasws, and calls to that similar to what heasws called to. O Abu Ubeyda, heasws has not been prevented from what Allahazwj Granted to Suleimanas, in fact higher than what heas was given’. Then heasws recited: “[38:39] This is Our free gift, therefore give freely or withhold, without reckoning”. I said, ‘What Allahzwj Gave?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Abu Ubeyda! When Al-Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww makes the stand, heasws will judge by the Judgement of Dawoodas and Suleimanas. Heas will not ask the people for (any) proof (but issue judgements based on Divine Proofs)’.

16 – It has been narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Ubeys Bin Hashaam, from Abdullah Bin Al-Waleed, from Al-Hars Bin Mugheira Al-Nazary who said:

9 out of 48


‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws say: ‘The earth will never be except that in it is a knowledgeable oneasws who has the knowledge similar to the first oneasws, and inherited from the Rasool Allahsaww, and from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. The people are dependent on himasws but heasws is not needy to anyone’.

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الحميد عن منصور بن يونس عن ابى بصير عن ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم قال قلت له فقد اتينا ) 17( . آل ابراهيم الكتاب والحكمة واتيناهم ملكا عظيما قال ما هو قال قلت انت اعلم جعلني اهللا فداك قال طاعة اهللا مفروضة

17 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Baseer who says:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws (about the Verse) “[4:54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom.” Imamasws said: ‘What is it?’ I said, ‘Youasws know (what I would like to know), may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘Obedience (to an Imamasws being made) Obligatory by Allahazwj’.

حدثنا محمد بن الحسين عن احمد بن النضر عن ابى نجران عن ابى جميله عن مالك الجهنى قال قلت البي جعفر ) 18(عليه السالم واوحى إلى هذا القرآن النذرآم به ومن بلغ ائنكم لتشهدون قال االمام منا انذر به آما انذر به رسول اهللا صلى

Weasws safeguard it, and weasws veil it, and weasws conceal it from ourasws enemies just as the Rasool Allahsaww had concealed it until hesaww got the Permission in the Migration and fought against the Polytheists.

Weasws are on the same lines as Rasool Allahsaww until Allahazwj Gives the Permission to manifest (enforce) Hisazwj Religion with the sword, and he (Al-Mahdiasws) would call the people to Himazwj, and heasws would go to them with a promise just as the Rasool Allahsaww had done so in the beginning’.

Heasws said: ‘Theyasws are the Imamsasws. As for those of ourasws Shiites who are steadfast, submit to ourasws orders, and conceal ourasws Hadith from ourasws enemies, the Angels will welcome them with good news from Allahazwj of the Paradise.

By Allahazwj, and there have been good people in the past who were on the like of what you are in matters of Religion. They were steadfast, and submitted to ourasws orders, and concealed ourasws Hadith, and did not announce it among ourasws enemies, and did not doubt like you are doubting (today). The Angels welcomed them with the good news from Allahazwj of the Paradise’.

حدثنا ايوب بن نوح عن صفوان بن يحيى عن موسى بن بكر عن زرارة عن ابى عبيده قال قال أبو جعفر عليه ) 23( . السالم من سمع من رجل امرا لم يحط به علما فكذب به ومن امره بالرضاء بنا والتسليم لنا فان ذلك ال يكفره

23 – It has been narrated to us by Ayyub Bin Nuh, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zarara, from Abu Ubeyda who said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘One who heard from a man a matter (Hadith), did not degrade it by belying it, and from its order was happy with usasws, and of the submission to usasws, so that is the one who has not denied it (Kufr)’.

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن ابن سنان عن صفوان الصيقل قال دخلت انا والحرث بن المغيرة وغيره على ابى عبد اهللا ) 24( ال يريد اال ان يسمع حديثنا فو اهللا ما يدرى ما يقبل مما يردعليه السالم فقال له الحرث ان هذا يعنى منصور الصيقل

. ان المسلمين من النجباءفقال أبو عبد اهللا هذا الرجل من المسلمين

24 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Safwaan Al-SayqAl-who said:

‘I, and Al-Hars Bin Al-Mugheira, and someone else came to Abu Abdullahasws. Al-Hars said to himasws that, ‘This one, meaning Mansour Al-Sayqal, does not want (anything) except to hear the Hadith from us. By Allahazwj, what he knows is what he

accepts, from what he responds to’. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘This is the man from the submitters (to the Hadith). It is the submitters (to the Hadith) who are from the excellent ones’. (See Hadith 25 below)

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن القاسم بن محمد عن سلمة بن حنان عن ابى الصباح الكنانى قال ) 25(آنت عند ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم فقال يا ابا الصباح قد افلح المؤمنون قال أبو عبد اهللا قد افلح المسلمون قالها ثلثا وقلتها

25 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Salat Bin Hanaan, from Abu Al-Sabaah Al-Kanany who said:

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said: ‘O Abu Al-Sabaah, “[23:1] Successful indeed are the believers”. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Successful indeed are the submitters (to the Hadith)’. Heasws said it three times, and I said it three times. Then heasws said that: ‘The submitters (to the Hadith), they are the chosen ones on the Day of Judgement. They are the people of the Hadith’.

حدثنا محمد بن عيسى قال اقرأني داود بن فرقد الفارسى آتابة إلى ابى الحسن الثالث عليه السالم وجوابه بخطه ) 26(فقال نسألك عن العلم المنقول الينا عن ابائك واجدادك قد اختلفوا علينا فيه آيف العمل على اختالفه إذا نرد اليك فقد اختلف

26 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa who said:

‘Dawood Al-Farsy read out to me a letter of Abu Al-Hassan- the Thirdasws and hisasws answer written (in response to a question). He said, ‘We would like to ask you about the knowledge that has been copied down to us from yourasws forefathersasws, and yourasws ancestorsasws, in which we find differences in (instructions) to us (when we make comparison). How should we resolve the differences and act in accordance with (Ahadith) without having to face differences in those’. Hisasws answer was read out to (me) by (Dawood) as: ‘What you know (with certainty) that these are ourasws words, maintain it, and what you do not know (unsure about), refer it back to usasws’.

حدثنا محمد بن عبد الجبار عن ابن ابى عمير عن ابراهيم الفضيل عن عمر بن يزيد قال قلت البي عبد اهللا عليه ) 27( . السالم يختلف اصحابنا فاقول قولى هذا قول جعفر بن محمد قال بها نزل جبرئيل

27 – It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Al-Fazeyl, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Our companions are differing. I said, ‘My words are the words of Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws’. Heasws said: ‘Jibraeel descended with it (this Hadith)’.

29 out of 48


‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws that, ‘Among us is a man called Kalyba. We do not narrate anything from youasws, but he says, ‘انا اسلم’ ‘I submit (accept)’. We call him Kaleyb the submitter’. Heasws invoked mercy upon him, then said: ‘Do you know what is the submission?’ We remained silent. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, it is the humbleness. The Statement of Allahazwj “[11:23] Surely (as to) those who believe and do good and humble themselves to their Lord”.

بن يونس عن بشير بن الدهان قال حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن حماد بن عيسى عن منصور) 29(سمعت آليبا يقول قال أبو جعفر عليه السالم قد افلح المؤمنون اتدرى من هم جعلت فداك انت اعلم قال قد افلح المسلمون

. ان المسلمين هم النجباء

29 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Basheer Bin Al-Dahaan, from Kaleyba who said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws said (regarding the Verse): ‘“[23:1] Successful indeed are the believers”. Do you know who they are?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, youasws know (better)’. Imamasws said: ‘Successful indeed are the submitters (to the Hadith). It is the submitters (to the Hadith) who are the excellent ones’. (also see Hadith 25 above)

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن على بن الحكم عن سيف بن عميرة عن ابى بكر الحضرمي قال قلت البي عبد اهللا عليه ) 30( . السالم اما سمعت عليك بالحديث فيقول بعضنا قولنا قولهم قال فما تريد اتريد ان تكون امانا بك من رد القول الينا فقد سلم

30 – It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Sayf Bin Umeyra, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘As for what I have heard from youasws a Hadith, some of us say, ‘Our words are hisasws words’. Heasws said: Ourasws words’ trusties are saved? The one who refers the words (Hadith) back to usasws, he is safe’.

وعنه عن عمر بن عبد العزيز عن جميل بن دراج عن ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم قال ان من قرة العين التسليم الينا ) 31( . ان تقولوا لكل ما اختلف عنا ان تردوا الينا

31 – And from him, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Jameel Bi Daraaj, who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It is a delight to myasws eyes, the submission to usasws that you say for everything in what you have differed, that you will refer back to usasws’.

CHAPTER 21 – THE EXPLANATION OF THE COMMANDS OF THE PROPHETsaww AND THE IMAMSasws REGARDING THEMSELVESasws, AND THE REFUTATION TO THE ONES WHO EXAGGERATE DUE TO THEIR IGNORANCE OF WHAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND FROM THE MEANINGS OF THEIRasws STATEMENTS

عن حدثنا على بن ابراهيم بن هاشم قال حدثنا القسم بن الربيع الوراق عن محمد بن سنان عن صباح المدايني ) 1(المفضل انه آتب إلى ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم فجائه هذا الجواب من ابى عبد اهللا عليه السالم اما بعد فانى اوصيك ونفسي بتقوى اهللا وطاعته فان من التقوى الطاعة والورع والتواضع هللا والطمأنينة واالجتهاد واالخذ بامره والنصيحة لرسله

1 – It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashaam, from Al-Qasim Bin Al-Rabi’e Al-Waraaq, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Sabaah Al-Madaainy, from Al-Mufazzal, who has narrated:

It is in the book of Abu Abdullahasws, in the form of a reply which came from Abu Abdullahasws: ‘After this, Iasws advise you, and myselfasws to fear Allahazwj and for obedience, for it is from the fear that the obedience comes, and the piety, and the humility to Allahazwj, and the tranquillity, and the diligence, and the taking to Hisazwj Commands, and the Advice of Hisazwj Messengersas, and the hastening to Please Himazwj, and to stay clear of what has been Prohibited by Himazwj. It is the one who fears, that has scored a victory for himself (protection) from the Fire, by the Permission of Allahazwj, and achieved all the good in the world and the Hereafter. And the one who acts by the piety has succeeded in the Exhortation that Allahazwj has Sent for the pious by Hisazwj Mercy.

جائنى آتابك فقرأته وفهمت الذى فيه فحمدت اهللا على سالمتك وعافية اهللا اياك البسنا اهللا واياك عافيته في الدنيا واالخرة آتبت تذآر ان قوما انا عرفهم آان اعجبك نحوهم و شأنهم وانك ابلغت فيهم امورا يروى عنهم آرهتها لهم ولم تريهم اال

هم يزعمون ان الدين انما هو معرفة الرجال ثم بعد ذلك إذا عرفتهم فاعمل ما شئت طريقا حسنا ورعا وتخشعا وبلغك ان فوفقك اهللالرجالمعرفة اصل الدين وذآرت انك قد عرفت ان

Your letter came to measws, I read it and understood it’s contents. Iasws Praised Allahazwj for your safety and good health for you, through the intercession of Allahazwj‘s Blessing upon usasws, and for your good health in the world and (success) in the Hereafter. You wrote and mentioned that there is a group of people whose traditions and their affairs are liked, and you told them of certain matters which they disliked, and you would not like to see in them a way except for a good way, and as devout and humble, and it has reached you that they are alleging that the true religion is the understanding of ‘الرجال’ the certain persons, then after that, when one has understood these, one can do whatsoever one desires. And you mentioned that you know that the fundamentals of the Religion, is the knowledge of these persons. Allahazwj Guided you.

31 out of 48


وذآرت انه بلغك انهم يزعمون ان الصلوة والزآوة و صوم شهر رمضان والحج والعمرة والمسجد الحرام والبيت الحرام والمشعر الحرام والشهر الحرام هو رجل وان الطهر واالغتسال من الجنابة هو رجل و آل فريضة افترضها اهللا على

الرجل فقد اآتفى بعمله به من غير عمل وقد صلى واتى عباده هو رجل وانهم ذآروا ذلك بزعمهم ان من عرف ذلك الزآوة وصام وحج واعتمر واغتسل من الجنابة وتطهر وعظم حرمات اهللا والشهر الحرام و المسجد الحرام وانهم ذآروا لك من عرف هذا بعينه وتجده وثبت في قلبه جاز له ان يتهاون فليس له ان يجتهد في العمل وزعموا انهم إذا عرفوا ذ

الرجل فقد قبلت منه هذه الحدود لوقتها وان هم لم يعملوا بها

And you mentioned, that it has reached you that they are alleging that the Prayer, and the Zakaat, and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage, and the Lesser Pilgrimage (Umra) of the Sacred Masjid, and the Sacred House, and the Sacred Signs, and the Sacred Months each one is ‘الرجال’ a person, and that the Purification, and the Major Ablution, is also a ‘الرجال’ person, and all the Obligations which Allahazwj has Obligated upon the servants, is a person, and they are mentioning that by their thinking that the one who understands these persons, it would suffice for him to act by this, apart from other acts, and if he has Prayed, and given Zakaat, and Fasted, and performed the Pilgrimage, and the Lesser Pilgrimage, and performed the Major Ablution, and keeps to cleanliness, and Magnifies the Sanctimonies of Allahazwj, and the Sacred Months, and the Sacred Masjid, and they are mentioning that the one who understands these particular ones and finds these established in his heart, then it is permissible for him to be careless.

So, it is not for him to struggle in the actions, and they allege that if he were to understand these persons, these limits would be acceptable from him if he were to perform them in their prescribed times, or may not do so (on time).

وانه بلغك انهم يزعمون ان الفواحش التى نهى اهللا عنها الخمر والميسر والربا والدم والميتة ولحم الخنزير هو رجل وبنات االخت وما حرم على المؤمنين وذآروا ان ما حرم اهللا من نكاح االمهات والبنات والعمات والخاالت وبنات االخر

المرأة يترادفونمن النساء فما حرم اهللا انما عنى بذلك نكاح نساء النبي وما سوى ذلك مباح آله وذآرت انه بلغك انهمالواحدة ويشهدون بعضهم لبعض بالزور ويزعمون ان لهذا ظهرا وبطنا يعرفونه فالظاهر يتناسمون عنه يأخذون به

الباطن هو الذى يطلبون وبه امروا و بزعمهم مدافعة عنهم و

And it has reached you that they are alleging that the indecencies which Allahazwj has Prohibited, the intoxicant, and the gambling, and the interest, and the blood, and the dead, and the flesh of the swine, are persons. And you mentioned that what Allahazwj has Prohibited from marrying the mothers, and the daughters, and the paternal aunts, and the maternal aunts, and daughters of brothers, and the daughters of the sisters, and what has been Prohibited upon the believers from the women, so what Allahazwj has Prohibited from it by that to marry the wives of the Prophetsaww, and what is apart from that is all permissible.

And you mentioned that it has reached you that they marry synonymously with one woman and they are bearing witnesses in their own favour against the others falsely, and they are alleging that for this there is ‘ظهرا’ an apparent and ‘بطنا’ a hidden, which they recognise. As for the apparent, they are taking that as their defence, and the hidden, it is by which they are seeking, and by it they order and claim.

آتبت تذآر الذى زعم عظيم من ذلك عليك حين بلغك وآتبت تسئلنى عن قولهم في ذلك احالل ام حرام وآتب تسئلنى عن ا سألت عنه فاحفظه تفسير ذلك وانا ابينه حتى ال تكون من ذلك في عمى وال شبهة وقد آتبت اليك في آتابي هذا تفسير م

آله آما قال اهللا في آتابه وتعيها اذن واعية واصفه لك بحالله وانفى عنك حرامه ان شاء اهللا آما وصفت ومعرفكه حتى تعرفه ان شاء اهللا فال تنكره انشاء اهللا وال قوة اال باهللا والقوة هللا جميعا

32 out of 48


And you written describing that when it reached you it was of great concern to you and you wrote asking measws about their speech whether it is Permissible or Prohibited and wrote to measws asking for the explanation of all that, and Iasws will explain it until you will no longer be void of it’s understanding, nor will you have any doubts, and Iasws am writing to you in this letter of mineasws, that explanation of what you have asked about. So, memorise all of it as Allahazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book, listen intently as Iasws will describe for you its Permissibility and negate from you its Prohibition, ‘ان شاء اهللا’ Allahazwj Willing, and Iasws describe it to the extent that you will understand it, ‘ ’ Allahazwj Willing, so that you will not deny it, ‘ان شاء اهللا Allahazwj ’ان شاء اهللاWilling, and there is no Might except with Allahazwj, and all the Might is with Allahazwj.

اخبرك انه من آان يدين بهذه الصفة التى آتبت تسئلنى عنها فهو عندي مشرك باهللا تبارك وتعالى بين الشرك ال شك فيه فوضعوا ا حد ما سمعواواخبرك ان هذا القول آان من قوم سمعوا ما لم يعقلوه عن اهله ولم يعطوا فهم ذلك ولم يعرفو

حدود تلك االشياء مقايسة برأيهم ومنتهى عقولهم ولم يضعوها على حدود ما امروا آذبا وافتراء على اهللا ورسوله صلى اهللا عليه وآله وجرأة على المعاصي فكفى بهذا لهم جهال ولو انهم وضعوها على حدودها التى حدت لهم وقبلوها لم يكن به

وتعدوا وآذبوا وتهاونوا بامر اهللا وطاعته ولكني اخبرك ان اهللا حدها بحدودها الن ال يتعدى حدوده باس ولكنهم حرفوها احد ولو آان االمر آما ذآروا لعذر الناس بجهلهم ما لم يصرفوا حد ما حد لهم ولكان المقصر والمتعدي حدود اهللا معذورا

ولكن جعلها حدودا محدودة ال يتعداها اال مشرك آافر

Iasws am informing you that the one who has made it to be his Religion with these qualities which you have written to me and have asked from measws, so he is, as far as Iasws am concerned, a ‘مشرك’ Polytheist, by Allahazwj the Blessed and the High, and let there be no doubt with regards to his Polytheism.

And Iasws am informing you that these words, which have been heard from these people, which are not from its People (Ahl), they do not have the understanding of it and they do not recognise its limits. What has been heard of the limits of these things is what they have analogised by their opinions, and the limitations of their intellects, and they do not place them on the limits of what they have been ordered to, they are therefore forging lies against Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and their audacity in their disobedience.

So this is sufficient for them in their ignorance. And had they placed these on their limits which have been set for them, and accepted these, there would have been no problem with it, but they distorted it, and transgressed (the limits), and forged lies, and they regarded the Orders of Allahazwj and being obedient to Himazwj as being of less importance.

But, Iasws am informing you that Allahazwj has Limited these by Limits because Heazwj does not Want anyone to exceed these Limits, and had Heazwj Ordered as they have mentioned, then it would have been an excuse for the people due to their ignorance of what Limit they exceed from what has been set for them, but the one who infringed and was negligent of the Limits of Allahazwj, he has an excuse, but the boundary of Limits has been placed, and none will exceed this except for a Polytheist Infidel.

تبارك وتعالى اختار ثم قال تلك حدود اهللا فال تعتدوها ومن يتعد حدود اهللا فاولئك هم الظالمون فاخبرك حقايق ان اهللا االسالم لنفسه دينا ورضى من خلقه فلم يقبل من احد اال به وبه بعث انبياؤه ورسله

33 out of 48


Then Heazwj Said: “[2:229] These are the limits of Allah, so do not exceed them and whoever exceeds the limits of Allah these it is that are the unjust.” So Iasws am informing you of the facts, that Allahazwj Blessed and High has Chosen Al-Islam for Himself as a Religion and is Pleased by it for Hisazwj Creatures, therefore Heazwj will not Accept from anyone except by it (Islam), and it was by it (Islam) that Heazwj Sent Hisazwj Prophetsas and Hisazwj Messengersas.

ثم قال وبالحق انزلناه وبالحق نزل فعليه وبه بعث انبياؤه و رسله ونبيه محمدا صلى اهللا عليه وآله فاختل الذين لم يعرفوا هم الفروع الحالل وذلك معرفة الرسل وواليتهم وطاعتهم هو الحالل المحلل ما احلوا والمحرم ما حرموا وهم اصله ومن

سعيهم ومن فروعهم امرهم الحالل واقام الصلوة وايتاء الزآوة وصوم شهر رمضان وحج البيت والعمرة وتعظيم حرمات اهللا وشعائره ومشاعره وتعظيم البيت الحرام والمسجد الحرام و الشهر الحرام والطهور واالغتسال من الجنابة ومكارم

لبرة االخالق ومحاسنها وجميع ا

Then Heazwj Said: “[17:105] And with truth have We revealed it, and with truth did it come”. So it was on it (truth) and by it that Hisazwj Prophetsas, and Hisazwj Messengersas and Hisazwj Prophet Muhammadsaww was Sent. So the one who did not achieve the understanding of the Messengersas, and theiras ‘Wilayah’, and theiras obedience, was in disgust.

The Permissible is, therefore, what theyas had permitted, and the Prohibited is what theyas prohibited, and theyas are the origin of it, and it is from themas that are the branches of the Permissible, and that is theiras quest. And from theiras branches, theyas ordered the Permissible, and the establishment of the Prayer, and the giving of the Zakaat, and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage of the House, and the Umra, and the Magnifying of the Sanctities of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Signs and Rituals, and the reverence of the Sacred House, and the Sacred Masjid, and the Sacred months, and the purification, and the major ablution, and the good morals and its advantages, and all the good (righteousness).

ثم ذآر بعد ذلك فقال في آتابه ان اهللا يامر بالعدل واالحسان وايتاء ذى القربى وينهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر والبغى يعظكم احش وما ظهر منها وما بطن والخمر لعلكم تذآرون فعددهم المحرم و اولياؤهم الدخول في امرهم إلى يوم القيمة فيهم الفو

والميسر والربا والدم ولحم الخنزير فهم الحرام والمحرم واصل آل حرام وهم الشر واصل آل شر ومنهم فروع الشر آله ومن ذلك الفروع الحرام واستحاللهم اياها ومن فروعهم تكذيب االنبياء وجحود االوصياء ورآوب الفواحش الزنا

والنكرواآل مال اليتيم واآل الربوا والخدعة والخيانة ورآوب الحرام آلها وانتهاك المعاصي والسرقة وشرب الخمر

Then Heazwj Mentioned after that in Hisazwj Book that “[16:90] Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the kindred, and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion; He admonishes you that you may be mindful.” So Heazwj Numbered for them the Prohibitions, and their .are included in their affairs up to the Day of Judgement (guardians) ’اولياؤهم‘

The immoralities are regarding them, and what is apparent from it and what is hidden, and the intoxicant, and the gambling, and the interest, and the blood, and the flesh of the swine, so these are the prohibited and the unlawful and the origin of every Prohibition, and they are the evil and the origin of all evil, and it is from them that are the branches of all the evil, and from that are the branches of the Prohibition and what is not Permissible for them.

It means, from their branches is the belying of the Prophetsas, and fighting against the (Divine) successorsas, and their committing of the immoralities, and the adultery,

34 out of 48


and the theft, and the drinking of the intoxicant, and the denial, and devouring the wealth of the orphans, and devouring the interest, and the deception, and the betrayal, and the committing all the Prohibitions, and indulgence into all kinds of sins.

وانما امر اهللا بالعدل واالحسان وايتاء ذى القربى يعنى مودة ذى القربى وابتغاء طاعتهم وينهى عن الفحشاء والمنكر بغى من مودتهم فطاعتهم يعظكم بهذا لعلكم تذآرون و اخبرك انى لو والبغى وهم اعداء االنبياء و اوصياء االنبياء وهم ال

قلت لك ان الفاحشة والخمر والميسر والزنا والميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير هو رجل وانت اعلم ان اهللا قد حرم هذا االصل فهو آفرعون إذ قال انا وحرم فرعه ونهى عنه و جعل واليته آمن عبد من دون اهللا وثنا وشرآا ومن دعا إلى عبادة نفسه

ربكم االعلى فهذا آله على وجه ان شئت قلت هو رجل وهو إلى جهنم و من شايعه على ذلك فافهم مثل قول اهللا انما حرم عليكم الميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير ولصدقت ثم لو انى قلت انه فالن ذلك آله لصدقت ان فالنا هو المعبود المتعدى حدود

ان يتعدى اهللا التى نهى عنها

But rather, Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the kindred, it means affection for the near relatives with a view for theirasws obedience, and Heazwj (Says) and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion, and they are the enemies of the Prophetsas and the successorsas of the Prophetsas, and they have rebelled from theiras love.

(As Allahazwj Says) He admonishes you that you may be mindful, and Iasws inform you that if Iasws were to say to you that the immoralities, and the intoxicants, and the gambling, and the adultery, and the dead, and the blood, and flesh of the swine, are each a ‘رجل’ person, and you very well know that Allahazwj has Prohibited this originally and has Prohibited its branches and to stay away from it, and Made its love of it to be as if one has worshipped ‘one’ apart from Allahazwj, and idols, and associated, and the one who called to the worship of his self, is like a Pharaohla.

(Allahazwj Says) “[79:24] Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.” So all this is on its perspective. Perhaps Iasws say that it is a person, and he will be to the Fire and the one who follows him. So understand the example in the Statement of Allahazwj “[2:173] He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of swine” and you will be ratified, then if Iasws were to say to you that he is so and so that one, all of it gets ratified that so and so is the worshipped one who has exceeded the Limits of Allahazwj which Heazwj has Forbidden to exceed from it.

ثم انى اخبرك ان الدين واصل الدين هو رجل وذلك الرجل هو اليقين وهو االيمان وهو امام امته واهل زمانه فمن عرف عرف اهللا ومن انكره انكر اهللا ودينه ومن جهله جهل اهللا ودينه وحدوده وشرايعه بغير ذلك االمام

Then Iasws hereby inform you that the Religion and the fundamentals of the Religion, it is a ‘رجل’ person, and that is the manasws, and it is the conviction, and it is the faith, and heasws is the Imamasws of hisasws community and the people of hisasws era. So the one who recognises himasws has recognised Allahazwj, and the one who denies himasws has denied Allahazwj, and Hisazwj religion, and the one who is ignorant of himasws is ignorant of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Religion, and Hisazwj Limits, and Hisazwj laws without recognition (and submission of a Divine) Imamasws.

آذلك جرى بان معرفة الرجال دين اهللا والمعرفة على وجهه معرفة ثابتة على بصيرة يعرف بها دين اهللا ويوصل بها إلى ن اهللا معرفة اهللا فهذه المعرفة الباطنة الثابتة بعينها الموجبة حقها المستوجب اهلها عليها الشكر هللا التى من عليهم بها من م

يمن به على من يشاء مع معرفة الظاهرة

35 out of 48


So that is, how it flows, the Religion of Allahazwj, from the recognition (Ma’rifat) of the men, and the recognition (Ma’rifat) on its perspective, the well established recognition (Ma’rifat) on the vision by which the Religion of Allahazwj can be recognised, and by which you can arrive at the recognition (Ma’rifat) of Allahazwj. So this is the hidden (Baatin) recognition (Ma’rifat) which is firm and this is exactly what has been Obligated for the obligatory rights of its peopleasws (Ahl).

On it is the Thanks of Allahazwj which has been Bestowed upon it from Allahazwj, and Heazwj Bestows upon the one whomsoever that Heazwj so Desires it to, with the apparent (Zaahir) recognition (Ma’rifat).

لمعرفة في الظاهر الذين علموا امرنا بالحق على غير علم ال يلحق باهل المعرفة في الباطن ومعرفة في الظاهرة فاهل اعلى بصيرتهم وال يضلوا بتلك المعرفة المقصرة إلى حق معرفة اهللا آما قال في آتابه وال يملك الذين يدعون من دونه

And the recognition (Ma’arifat) with regards to the apparent (Zaahir) - so the people of the recognition (Ma’rifat) with regards to the apparent are the ones who know ourasws commands with the truth against the others, a knowledge which does not cause them to recognise the people of recognition on their vision, nor does it make them stray with that recognition, by reduction (Taqseer) to the Right of the recognition of Allahazwj as Heazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book “[43:86] And those whom they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who bears witness of the truth and they know (him).”

So the one who testifies to the truth, he does not sit upon his heart with the insight with regards to it. Similarly, the one who speaks, it does sit upon his heart and there is no difficulty for him as he holds it in his heart and is firm in his vision, for he has recognised the situation of the men who are the people of the recognition in the apparent, and the acceptance of the truth against the others, and Heazwj Knows from before (eternity) and Hisazwj Narrations and Commands which have been transmitted to the Prophetsaww, and after himsaww to the one to whomasws the recognition reached to, and they understand with their understanding, theirasws actions, and theirasws Religion which Allahazwj has Made it to be, the righteous one by his righteousness, and the wrong-doer by his disobedience. And heasws has said that the one who enters in this command without certainty, nor with vision, will exit from it. Allahazwj has Entered in it ourasws sustenance (of all that we need), and beware, you must have constant insight.

واخبرك انى لو قلت ان الصلوة و الزآوة وصوم شهر رمضان والحج والعمرة والمسجد الحرام والبيت الحرام و المشعر لصدقت ان ذلك آله انما الحرام والطهور واالغتسال من الجنابة وآل فريضة آان ذلك هو النبي الذى جاء به عند ربه

يعرف بالنبي ولوال معرفة ذلك النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله وسلم وااليمان به والتسليم له ما عرف ذلك فذلك من من اهللا على من يمن عليه ولوال ذلك لم يعرف شيئا من هذه فهذا آله ذلك النبي واصله وهو فرعه وهو دعاني إليه ودلني عليه

واوجب على له الطاعة فيما امرني به ال يسعنى جهله وآيف يسعنى جهله ومن هو فيما بينى وبين وعرفنيه وامرني به اهللا وآيف تستقيم لى لوال انى اصف ان دينى هو الذى اتانى به ذلك النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله ان اصف ان الدين غيره

And Iasws am informing you that if Iasws were to say that the Prayer, and the Zakaat, and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage, and the Umra, and the Sacred Masjid, and the Sacred House, and the Sacred Months, and the cleanliness, and the Major ablution, and all the obligations that the Prophetsaww came with from hissaww Lordazwj as Religion, Iasws will be ratified, for all that can be recognised by the Prophetsaww, and had it not been for the recognition of that Prophetsaww and belief in himsaww and submission to himsaww, these would not have been understood.

So that is the Favour of Allahazwj which Heazwj Favours on whomsoever Heazwj Likes to, and had it not been for that nothing from it could have been recognised. So all that is (Revealed through) the Prophetsaww, and hesaww is the origin of it, and hesaww is the branch of it, and hesaww called measws to it, and evidenced to it, and made measws to understand it, and ordered measws and obligated the obedience to himsaww and there is no leeway for measws to be ignorant of it, and how can Iasws have the leeway of being ignorant of these when hesaww is in between myselfasws and Allahazwj.

And how can it be upright for measws if Iasws were not to describe that myasws Religion is the one, which the Prophetsaww gave to measws, and hesaww is myasws Religion.

وآيف ال يكون ذلك معرفة الرجل وانما هو الذى جاء به عن اهللا وانما انكر الذى من انكره بان قالوا ابعث اهللا بشرا رسوال ثم قالوا ابشر يهدوننا فكفروا بذلك الرجل وآذبوا به وقالوا لوال انزل عليك ملك فقال قل من انزل الكتاب الذى جاء

ال في آية اخرى ولو انزلنا ملكا لقضى االمر ثم ال ينظرون ولو جعلناه ملكا لجعلناه به موسى نورا وهدى للناس ثم ق رجال

And how can it not be that recognition of the person and hesaww is the one who came with it from Allahazwj, and the one who denied himsaww would have denied Himazwj. Heazwj said [17:94] they said: What! has Allah raised up a mortal to be a messenger?, then Said [64:6] they said: Shall mortals guide us? So they denied that person, and belied himsaww and said, ‘Suppose no Angel has Descended upon yousaww’, so Heazwj Said [6:91] Say: Who revealed the Book which Musa brought, a light and a guidance to men, then Said in another Verse “[6:8] And had We sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been decided and then they would not have found respite. [6:9] And if We had made him angel, We would certainly have made him a man”.

تبارك اهللا تعالى انما احب ان يعرف بالرجال وان يطاع بطاعتهم فجعلهم سبيله ووجهه الذى يؤتى منه ال يقبل اهللا من اع اهللا ومن تولى العباد غير ذلك ال يسئل عما يفعل وهم يسئلون فقال فيمن اوجب من محبته لذلك من يطع الرسول فقد اط

فما ارسلناك عليهم حفيظا فمن قال لك ان هذه الفريضة آلها انما هي رجل وهو يعرف حد ما يتكلم به فقد صدق ومن قال على الصفة التى ذآرت بغير الطاعة ال يعنى التمسك في االصل بترك الفروع ال يعنى بشهادة ان ال اله اال اهللا وبترك

صلى اهللا عليه وآله وسلم ولم يبعث اهللا نبيا قط اال بالبر والعدل والمكارم ومحاسن االعمال شهادة ان محمدا رسول اهللاوالنهى عن الفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن فالباطن منه والية اهل الباطن والظاهر منه فروعهم ولم يبعث اهللا نبيا قط

العباد العمل بالفرايض التى افترضها اهللا على حدودها يدعوا إلى معرفة ليس معها طاعة في امر ونهى فانما يقبل اهللا من مع معرفة من جائهم من عنده ودعاهم إليه

Allahazwj Loves that Heazwj should be recognised by persons and that the obedience to themasws is the obedience to Himazwj. So Heazwj Made themasws to be Hisazwj Way and Hisazwj perspective through, which they can get (in close proximity) to Himazwj.

37 out of 48


Allahazwj does not Accept from the servants other than that, that Heazwj would not Question anything that they may do. So Heazwj Said, Making the love for himsaww, to be an Obligation [4:80] Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.

So the ‘one’ who says to you that all these obligations are ‘رجل’ a person and he understands the Limits of what he is saying, he has spoken the truth. And if someone who says to you as you have mentioned, without obedience, it has no meanings to it and adherence to the origin and therefore leaving the branches out.

Meaning testifying that if one testifies there is no god except Allahazwj, but leaves out the testimony that Muhammadsaww is the Rasool Allahazwj then its useless (one testimonies is of no value). And Allahazwj never Sent a Prophetas at all except with righteousness, and justice, and the morals, and the goodness of the actions, and the prevention from the immoralities, be they apparent or hidden, for the hidden from it is the ‘Wilayah’ of the people of the hidden (Divine Imamasws), and the apparent from it is their branches, and Allahazwj did not Send a Prophetas at all who would call to the recognition when there is no obedience in the Orders and Prohibitions. Allahazwj Accepts the deeds from the servants of the obligation which Allahazwj has Obligated upon them in reference to their Limits along with the recognition of the onesaww who came by it from Himazwj and calls to Himazwj.

فاول من ذلك معرفة من دعا إليه ثم طاعته فيما يقر به بمن ال طاعة له وانه من عرف اطاع حرم الحرام ظاهره وباطنه ن بالظاهر معا جميعا وال يكون االصل وال يكون تحريم الباطن واستحالل الظاهر وانما حرم الظاهر بالباطن والباط

والفروع وباطن الحرام حرام وظاهره حالل وال يحرم الباطن ويستحيل الظاهر وآذلك ال يستقيم اال يعرف صلوة الباطن وال يعرف صلوة الظاهر وال الزآوة وال الصوم وال الحج وال العمرة والمسجد الحرام وجميع حرمات اهللا وشعائره وان

الباطن الن باطنه ظهرهترك معرفة

So the first thing from that is the recognition of the oneasws who calls to Himazwj, then obedience in whatsoever that heasws would say, because whoever achieved that understanding (Ma’rifat) will be obedient and know that both the apparent and the hidden of the Prohibitions are Prohibited, and it is not possible for the hidden to be Prohibited and its apparent to be Permissible, but rather the apparent goes along with the hidden, and the hidden along with the apparent has been Made to be Prohibited together.

And it cannot be that the origin (Wilayah) and the branches (limits) and the hidden of the Prohibition is Prohibited and its apparent is Permissible, nor is the hidden Prohibited whilst its apparent has been Made to be Permissible, and similarly it is not correct for him to recognise the hidden (Baatin) Prayer and not recognise the apparent Prayer, nor Zakaat, nor Fasting, nor the Pilgrimage, nor the Umra, and the Sacred Masjid, and all the Sanctities of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Signs, and leave out the recognition of the hidden because of one’s considering its hidden as its apparent.

وال يستقيم ان ترك واحدة منها إذا آان الباطن حراما خبيثا فالظاهر منه انما يشبه الباطن بالظاهر فمن زعم ان ذلك انما فقد آذب واشرك ذاك لم يعرف ولم يطع وانما قيل اعرف واعمل ما شئت هي المعرفة انه إذا عرف اآتفى بغير طاعة

من الخير فانه ال يقبل ذلك منك بغير معرفة فإذا عرفت فاعمل لنفسك ما شئت من الطاعة قل أو آثر فانه مقبول منك

38 out of 48


And it is not correct that you leave out one of it even if it was the hidden of the Prohibition which is evil, and its apparent will also be the like of its hidden, no doubt the hidden is similar to the apparent (in submission and in acting upon).

So whoever thinks that this is the recognition (Ma’rifat) and that he has recognised it without being obedient, he has lied and has committed ‘Shirk’ (by associating his opinion to the Divine Commands). This person has neither any recognition (Ma’rifat) nor any obedience in him. But rather it is to achieve recognition (Ma’rifat) and do not do whatever you like from the good deeds since no good deed is acceptable from you without recognition Ma’rifat (both its apparent and its hidden).

So if you have achieved recognition (Ma’rifat), so perform for yourself whatsoever you like from the obedience, little or more, for it will be acceptable from you.

اخبرك ان من عرف اطاع إذا عرف وصلى وصام واعتمر وعظم حرمات اهللا آلها ولم يدع منها شيئا وعمل بالبر آله ومكارم االخالق آلها ويجتنب سيئها وآل ذلك هو النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله وسلم والنبى صلى اهللا عليه وآله اصله وهواصل هذا آله النه جاء ودل عليه وامر به وال يقبل من احد شيئا منه اال به ومن عرف اجتنب الكبائر وحرم الفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن وحرم المحارم آلها الن بمعرفة النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله وبطاعته دخل فيما دخل فيه النبي صلى اهللا

ي صلى اهللا عليه وآله عليه وآله وسلم وخرج مما خرج منه النب

Iasws am informing you that the one who understands will obey. When he understands, he Prays, and Fasts, and performs Umrah, and Magnifies all of the Sanctities of Allahazwj, and does not turn away from anything from that and does all good deeds, and has all the good moral conduct, and keeps away from all evil, and all that is the prophetsaww and the Prophetsaww is the origin of this, because hesaww is the onesaww who came with it and evidenced it, and ordered for it, and nothing will be acceptable from anyone except by himsaww, and the one who understands will keep away from the major sins, and Prohibitions of the immoralities, be it apparent from it or hidden, and Prohibits all the Prohibitions because of the understanding of the Prophetsaww and by being obedient to himsaww enters into what the Prophetsaww entered into, and comes out from what the Prophetsaww came out of.

من زعم انه يملك الحالل ويحرم الحرام بغير معرفة النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله لم يحلل اهللا حالال ولم يحرم له حراما وانه ن صلى وزآى وحج واعتمر فعل ذلك آله بغير معرفة من افترض اهللا عليه طاعته لم يقبل منه شيئا من ذلك ولم يصل م

ولم يصم ولم يزك ولم يحج ولم يعتمر ولم يغتسل من الجنابة ولم يتظهر ولم يحرم اهللا حراما ولم يحلل اهللا حالال ليس له اربعين درهما ومن عرفه واحد عنه اطاع اهللاصلوة وان رآع وسجد وال له زآوة وان اخرج لكل

The one who thinks that he knows the Permissibles and restrains from the Prohibitions, however without the recognition (Ma’rifat) of the Prophetsaww, Allahazwj does not Permit for his the Permissibles, and does not Prohibit for him the Prohibition. Even though he is the one who Prays, and gives Zakaat, and performs the Pilgrimage, and Umrah, and does all of that without the recognition (Ma’rifat) of the onesaww to whom Allahazwj has Made obedience to be an Obligation, nothing from it will be acceptable from that, and he is deemed to neither having Prayed, or Fasted, or given Zakaat, or performed the Pilgrimage and Umrah, or Fasted, nor cleansed, nor performed the major ablution, nor will Allahazwj Consider his prohibition to be Prohibition nor his Permissibles to be the Permissibles.

39 out of 48


Therefore, there is no Prayer for him, nor any bowing, or prostrations, nor is there for him Zakaat even if he has given one Dirham out of forty. And the one who understands one of it has obeyed Allahazwj.

واما ما ذآرت انهم يستحلون نكاح ذوات االرحام التى حرم اهللا في آتابه فانهم زعموا انه انما حرم علينا بذلك نكاح نساء النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله فان احق ما بدء منه تعظيم حق اهللا وآرامة رسوله وتعظيم شأنه وما حرم اهللا على تابعيه ونكاح

بعد قوله وما آان لكم ان تؤذوا رسول اهللا صلى اهللا عليه وآله وال ان تنكحوا ازواجه من بعده ابدا ان ذلكم آان نسائه من عند اهللا عظيما وقال اهللا تبارك وتعالى النبي اولى بالمؤمنين من انفسهم وازواجه امهاتهم وهو اب لهم ثم قال وال تنحكوا

انه آان فاحشة ومقتا وساء سبيال ما نكح آباؤآم من النساء اال ما قد سلف

And what you have mentioned is that they have permitted for themselves to marry those women whom Allahazwj has Forbidden in Hisazwj Book, for they are thinking that it has only been Forbidden to us to marry the wives of the Prophetsaww, and it is more rightful to start from magnifying the Right of Allahazwj and the prestige of Hisazwj Messengersaww and the magnification of hissaww glory, and what Allahazwj has Forbidden hissaww followers to marry hissaww wives after Hisazwj Statement, and it is not for you to injure the Rasool Allahsaww nor marry any of hissaww wives from after himsaww ever, for that is a great (sin) with Allahazwj. And Allahazwj Blessed and High has Said [33:6] The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have on themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers, and hesaww is a father to them. Then Heazwj Said [4:22] And marry not the woman whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful, and it is an evil way.

فمن حرم نساء النبي لتحريم اهللا ذلك فقد حرم اهللا في آتابه العمات والخاالت وبنات االخ وبنات االخت وما حرم اهللا من ارضاعه الن تحرم ذلك تحريم نساء النبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله فمن حرم ما حرم اهللا من االمهات والبنات واالخوات

.لى اهللا عليه وآله وسلم ومن استحل ما حرم اهللا فقد اشرك إذا اتخذ ذلك ديناوالعمات من نكاح نساء النبي ص

So the one who has prohibited for himself the wives of the Prophetsaww due to the Prohibition of Allahazwj that is in order, for Allahazwj has Prohibited in Hisazwj Book the paternal aunts and the maternal aunts, and the daughters of the brother, and the daughters of the sister, and what Allahazwj has prohibited the one who has breastfed you, because considering them to be prohibited is equal to the Prohibition of marrying the wives of the Prophetsaww. So the one who considers it a prohibition what Allahazwj has Prohibited are the mothers, and the daughters, and the sisters, and the paternal aunts, and the wives of the Prophetsaww. So the one who has permitted to him what Allahazwj has Prohibited, he has associated (himself with Allahazwj – which is Shirk), if he takes it to be a Religion for himself.

واما ما ذآرت ان الشيعة يترادفون المرأة الواحدة فاعوذ باهللا ان يكون ذلك من دين اهللا ورسوله انما دينه ان يحل ما احل راء؟؟ ان ما احل اهللا من النساء في آتاب المتعة في الحج اجلهما ثم لم يحرمهما فإذا اراد الرجل اهللا ويحرم ما حرم اهللا س

المسلم ان يتمتع من المرأة فعلى آتاب اهللا وسنته نكاح غير سفاح تراضيا على ما احبا من االجرة واالجل آما قال اهللا فما تراضيتم به من بعد الفريضة استمتعتم به منهن فاتوهن اجورهن وال جناح عليكم فيما

And as for your mentioning that the Shiites are synonymously marrying one woman, so Iasws seek refuge with Allahazwj for that to be from the Religion of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, but rather their Religion is to permit what Allahazwj has Made Permissible, and to prohibit that which Allahazwj has Made Prohibited.

40 out of 48


It is happiness what Allahazwj has Permitted from the women in the Book the pleasure (Muta’a) in the Pilgrimage, postponing both of these then not Prohibiting them. So if a Muslim man intends to enjoy (Muta’a) the woman in accordance with the Book of Allahazwj and the Sunnah, then it is a marriage and not adultery, both of them being in agreement with the love and the recompense and the term, as Allahazwj has Said [4:24] Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after what is appointed.

الشمس مدا فيه ان هما احبا ان يمدا في االجل على ذلك االجر فاخر يوم من اجلها قبل ان ينقضى االجل قبل غروبوزادا في االجل ما احبا فان مضى آخر يوم منه لم يصلح اال ما امر مستقبل وليس بينهما عدة من سواه فانه اتحادت سواه اعتدت خمسة و االربعين يوما وليس بينهما ميراث ثم ان شائت تمتعت من آخر فهذا حالل لهما إلى يوم القيمة ان هي

ن عشرين ان ما بقيت في الدنيا آل هذا حالل لهما على حدود اهللا ومن يتعد حدود اهللا فقد شائت من سبعة وان هي شائت م ظلم نفسه

If both of them would like to increase the term on that same dowry, they can do so up until one day before the term runs out, and before sun has set they can increase the term whatsoever they like. If the last day from it has passed, it would not be correct except there would be no waiting period in between these days. And if they would like to do it again or with someone else then the woman would have to wait forty-five days, and there would be no inheritance issues between them.

Then if she likes, she can enjoy (Muta’a) with someone else. So this is Permissible for them both up to the Day of Judgement. And if she likes then she can do it with seven (different men) and if she likes she can do it twenty (different men) as long as they remain in the world. All this is Permissible for them both upon the Limits of Allahazwj, and the one who exceeds the Limits of Allahazwj, so he has been unjust to himself.

عة في الحج فاحرم من العقيق واجعلها متعة فمتى ما قدمت طفت بالبيت واستسلمت الحجر االسود وفتحت وإذا اردت المتبه وختمت سبعة اشواط ثم تصلى رآعتين عند مقام ابراهيم ثم اخرج من البيت فاسع بين الصفا والمروة سبعة اشواط

التروية صنعت ما صنعت بالعقيق ثم احرم بين تفتح بالصفا وتختم بالمروة فإذا فعلت ذلك فصبرت حتى إذا آان يومالرآن والمقام بالحج فلم تزل محرما حتى تقف بالموقف ثم ترمى الجمرات وتذبح وتحل وتغتسل ثم تزور البيت فإذا انت

فعلت ذلك فقد احللت وهو قول اهللا فمن تمتع بالعمرة إلى الحج فما استيسر من الهدى ان تذبح

And if you decide to enjoy (Muta’a) in the Pilgrimage, then tie the Ehraam with the carnelian (Aqeeq), and make it to be an enjoyment. So when you proceed, circumambulate the House and kiss the Black Stone, and begin with it and end seven cycles by it. Then Pray two Cycles near Maqaam e Ibrahimas. Then come out from the House, then walk (Sa’ee) in between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa seven times, beginning with Al-Safa and ending at Al-Marwa. So when you have done that, observe patience until the Day of Tarwiyya, then do what you did with the carnelian (Aqeeq). Then tie the Ehraam in between Al-Rukn and Al-Maqaam for the Pilgrimage, and do not cease to be in Ehraam until you stand at the standing place, then throw the pebbles (Rami Al-Jamaraat), and give the sacrifice (Qurbani), then open the Ehraam and perform the bath, then visit the House.

So when you have done that so you would have come out of Ehraam, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj “[2:196] whoever profits by combining the visit with the pilgrimage (should take) what offering is easy to obtain”, you give the sacrifice.

واما ما ذآرت انهم يستحلون الشهادات بعضم لبعض على غيرهم فان ذلك ليس هو اال قول اهللا يا ايها الذين آمنوا شهادة تكم بينكم إذا حضر احدآم الموت حين الوصية اثنان ذوا عدل منكم أو اخران من غيرآم ان انتم ضربتم في االرض فاصاب

مصيبة الموت إذا آان مسافرا وحضره الموت اثنان ذوا عدل من دينه فان لم يجدوا فاخران ممن يقرأ القرآن من غير اهل واليته يحبسونهما من بعد الصلوة فيقسمان باهللا ان ارتبتم ال نشترى به ثمنا قليال ولو آان به ثمنا قليال ولو آان ذا

قربى وال نكتم شهادة اهللا

And as for what you mentioned that they consider it to be permissible to testify in favour of each other and against the others, so that is not the case except for the Statement of Allahazwj “[5:106] O you who believe! call to witness between you when death draws nigh to one of you, at the time of making the will, two just persons from among you, or two others from among others than you, if you are travelling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you”. If he is a traveller and the death presents itself, there should be two just people from his Religion.

So if he cannot find, then two others from the reciters of the Quran from other than the people of Wilayah, confine them after the Prayers. So they should take a vow with Allahazwj that they will turn around and be sold for a small price, even though it may be a small price, even though it may be from a relative, and will not conceal the testimony of Allahazwj.

ن من اهل واليته انا إذا لمن االثمين فان عثر على انهما استحقا اثما فاخران يقومان مقامهما من الذى استحق عليهم االوليافيقسمان باهللا لشهادتنا احق من شهادتهما وما اعتدينا انا إذا لمن الظالمين ذلك ادنى بالشهادة على وجهها أو تخافوا ان ترد ايمانا بعد ايمانهم واتقوا اهللا واسمعوا وآان رسول اهللا صلى اهللا عليه وآله يقضى بشهادة رجل واحد مع يمين المدعى وال

لم وال يرد شهادة مؤمنيبطل حق مس

If these two are sinners and that then two others should stand in their place and they also would be people of their Wilayah, so they will both swear upon Allahazwj that, ‘Our testimony is better than their testimony, and that if we were to exceed the Limits then we would be from the unjust people’. This is the lowest form of testimony upon its perspective, or if they fear that they would turn back from their testimonies after having testified, and fear Allahazwj and listen, and that the Rasool Allahsaww used to judge in favour of the defendant based upon the testimony sworn by one man on oath, and the rights of Muslims cannot be falsified nor can the testimony of a Believer be refuted.

يعمل بهذا فإذا آان لرجل مسلم قبل آخر حق يجحده ولم يكن فإذا اخذ يمين المدعى وشهادة الرجل قضى له بحقه وليسشاهد غير واحد فانه إذا رفعه إلى والية الجور ابطلوا حقه ولم يقضوا فيها بقضاء رسول اهللا صلى اهللا عليه وآله آان

رسول اهللا الحق في الجور ان ال يبطل حق رجل فيستخرج اهللا على يديه حق رجل مسلم ويأجره اهللا ويجئ عدال آان صلى اهللا عليه وآله يعمل به

If the defendant swears and the man testifies, his right would be judged to be for him, and this does not get acted upon. If a Muslim man has a right over the other and he fights for it, and there is not witness apart from one, and if he raises the matter with the oppressive governor, his right would be denied, and he will not be judged with regards to it by the Judgement of the Rasool Allahsaww, and that the right thing to do during the oppressive times was not to falsify the rights of a man. Allahazwj will Bring out the right of a Muslim man from his hand and Allahazwj will Reward him and this will be the justice that the Rasool Allahsaww used to act upon.

نبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله وانك شبهت قولهم بقول واما ما ذآرت في آخر آتابك انهم يزعمون ان اهللا رب العالمين هو الالذين قالوا في على ما قالوا فقد عرفت ان السنن واالمثال آاينة لم يكن شئ فيما مضى اال سيكون مثله حتى لو آانت شاة

بشاة وآان هيهنا مثله واعلم انه سيضل قوم بضاللة من آان قبلهم

And as for what you mentioned regard at the end of your letter that they are alleging that Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the Worlds is actually the Prophetsaww, and this is similar to their words, which they are saying regarding Aliasws what they say. So you will understand that the Sunnah and the examples are sometimes very similar to each other. Whatever thing has passed, the like of it can also come up in the future, even if it is a sheep after a sheep. And here it is its example, and know that a people will be going astray by a straying like the ones before them.

آتبت فتسئلني عن مثل ذلك ما هو وما ارادوا به اخبرك ان اهللا تبارك وتعالى هو خلق الخلق ال شريك له له الخلق واالمر والدنيا واالخرة وهو ربك آل شئ وخالقه خلق الخلق واحب ان يعرفوه بانبيائه واحتج عليهم بهم فالنبى صلى اهللا عليه

وآله

You wrote asking measws about the likes of them and what they are intending by it. Iasws am informing you that Allahazwj Blessed and High, Heazwj Created the creatures having no Associate for Himselfazwj. The creation is all for Himazwj, and the Command, and the world, and the Hereafter, and Heazwj is your Lordazwj and the Lordazwj of everything and is its Creator. Heazwj Created the creatures and Loved it that Heazwj should be recognised by the Prophetsas and Argued against them (people) by themas.

مخلوق مربوب اصطفاه نفسه رسالته واآرمه بها فجعل خليفته في خلقه ولسانه فيهم و امينه عليهم هو الدليل على اهللا عبد وخازنه في السموات واالرضين قوله قول اهللا ال يقول على اهللا اال الحق من اطاعه اطاع اهللا ومن عصاه اهللا عصا اهللا

So the Prophetsaww is the evidence to Allahazwj and is a servant, a creature, a slave. Heazwj Chose himsaww for Himselfazwj for Hisazwj Message, and Honoured himsaww by it. So heazwj Made himsaww to be a Caliph among Hisazwj creatures, and Hisazwj Tongue among them, and Hisazwj Trustee to them and Hisazwj Treasurer in the heavens and the earths. Hissaww word is the Word of Allahazwj. Hesaww will not speak of Allahazwj except for the truth. The one who obeys himsaww has obeyed Allahazwj, and the one who disobeys himsaww has disobeyed Allahazwj.

ربه ووليه من ابى ان يقر له بالطاعة فقد ابى ان يقر لربه بالطاعة وبالعبودية ومن اقر بطاعته وهو مولى من آان اهللااطاع اهللا وهداه بالنبي صلى اهللا عليه وآله مولى الخلق جميعا عرفوا ذلك وانكروه وهو الوالد المبرور فيمن احبه واطاعه

وهو الوالد البار ومجانب الكباير

And hesaww is the Master of the one whose Lordazwj and Guardian is Allahazwj. The one who refuses to be obedient to Rasool Allahsaww has, in fact, refused to be obedient to his Lordazwj and be in Hisazwj servitude, and the one who accepts to be obedient to himsaww is being obedient to Allahazwj. And Allahazwj Guided him by the Prophetsaww, who is the Master of all creatures, whether he recognises that or denies it. And hesaww is the good parent, so the one who loves himsaww will obey himsaww as hesaww is the good father, and he will stay away from the major sins.

قد آتبت لك ما سئلتنى عنه وقد علمت ان قوما سمعوا صنعتنا هذه فلم يقولوا بها بل حرفوها و وضعوها على غير حدودها على نحوها قد بلغك واحذر من اهللا ورسوله ومن يتعصبون بنا اعمالهم الخبيثة وقد رمانا الناس بها واهللا يحكم

ينهم فانه يقول الذين يرمون المحصنات المؤمنات الغافالت لعنوا في الدنيا واالخرة ولهم عذاب عظيم يوم تشهد بيننا وب عليهم السنتهم وايديهم بما آانوا يعملون يومئذ يوفيهم اهللا اعمالهم السيئة ويعلمون ان اهللا هو الحق المبين

Iasws have written to you what you had asked measws about, and Iasws know that the people would listen to what weasws are making of this, but they do not speak by it, but they alter it, and waste it upon other than its Limits, and the likes of it as has reached you. And be submissive to Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww and be cautious to the ones who are prejudicial against usasws, their deeds are evil, and have got usasws to be accused by the people due to it, and Allahazwj will Judge between usasws and them.

“[24:23] Surely those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil), are cursed in this world and the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.” “[24:24] On the day when their tongues and their hands and their feet shall bear witness against them as to what they did.” “[24:25] On that day Allah will pay back to them in full their just reward, and they shall know that Allah is the evident Truth”.

. واما ما آتبت ونحوه وتخوفت ان يكون صفتهم من صفة فقد اآرمه اهللا تعالى عزوجل عما يقولون علوا آبيرا

And as for what you wrote, that the likes of these people and you are fearing for them that what they are attributing to Allahazwj may not be from Hisazwj Attributes, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is more Honourable, and more High and more Great than what they are saying (attributing to Himazwj).

صفتي هذه صفة صاحبنا التى وصفنا له وعندنا اخذنا فجزاه اهللا عنا افضل الحق فان جزائه على اهللا فتفهم آتاب هذا . واتقوه هللا

This description of mineasws is the description from ourasws Mastersaww, whose qualities Iasws have explained, and with usasws this is what weasws have taken. So may Allahazwj Reward you from usasws, the highest truth, for its Rewarding is upon Allahazwj, so ponder over this letter and fear Allahazwj.

Weasws are the source of the good, and its branches are the obedience to Allahazwj, and ourasws enemies are the source of the evil, and its branches are the disobedience to Allahazwj’. Then heasws wrote: ‘You obey the one who does not understand, how will you understand the one who does not obey?’
