He asws said to me: Read. So I opened a Chapter from the Quran and recited it. He asws became soft-hearted and wept, then said: O Abu Asama! Nurture your hearts by the Mention of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic, and be cautious of the instigation, for it comes upon the heart once or و اح ذ ر وا ال نك ت for many hours of doubt in the morning when there is neither belief nor disbelief in the heart, like a worn out piece of cloth or the decayed bone. ي ا أ ب ا أ س ام ة أ ل ي س ر بم ا ت ف قد ت ق ل ب ك ف ل ا ت ذ آ ر ب ه خ ي را و ل ا ش ر ا و ل ا ت د ر ي أ ي ن ه و ق ال ق ل ت ل ه ب ل ى إ ن ه ل ي ص يب ن ي و أ ر ا ه ي ص يب ال ناس ق ال أ ج ل ل ي س ي ع ر ى م ن ه أ ح د ق ال ف ا ذ ا آ ان ذ ل ك ف اذ آ ر وا الل ه ع ز و ج ل و اح ذ ر وا ال نك ت ف ا نه إ ذ ا أ ر اد ب ع ب د خ ي را ن ك ت إ يم انا و إ ذ ا أ ر اد ب ه غ ي ر ذ ل ك ن ك ت غ ي ر ذ ل ك ق ال ق ل ت م ا غ ي ر ذ ل ك ج ع ل ت ف د اك [م ا ه و ] ق ال إ ذ ا أ ر اد آ ف را ن ك ت آ ف را. O Abu Asama! Is it not that sometimes you inspect your heart, so you neither remember neither any good nor any evil by it, and nor do you know where it is? I said to him asws, Yes, it has happened to me, and I have seen it happen to the people. He asws said: Yes, everyone is exposed to it. So if it is like that remember Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic, و اح ذ ر وا ال نك ت and be cautious of the instigation, for if He azwj Intends good for a servant, Instigates belief, and if He azwj Intends by it other than that, Instigates other than that. I said, What is other than that, may I be sacrificed for you asws, what is it? He asws said: If He azwj Intends infidelity, infidelity is instigated ع دة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن أ ح م د ب ن م ح مد ب ن ع يس ى ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ال ح ك م ع ن أ ب ي ال م غ ر اء ع ن ز ي د ال ش حام ع ن ع م ر و ب ن س ع يد ب ن ه ل ال ق ال ق ل ت ل ا ب ي ع ب د الل ه (عليه السلام) إ ني ل ا أ آ اد أ ل ق اك إ لا ف ي ال سن ين ف ا و ص ن ي ب ش ي ء ا خ ذ ب ه ق ا ل أ وص يك ب ت ق و ى الل ه و ص د ق ال ح د يث و ال و ر ع و ال اج ت ه اد و اع ل م أ نه ل ا ي ن ف ع اج ت ه اد ل ا و ر ع م ع ه H A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al- Hakam, from Abu Al-Magra a, from Zayd Al-Shahaam, from Amro Bin Saeed Bin Hilal who said: I said to Abu Abdullah asws, I hardly ever meet you asws after years, so advise me with something that I can take to it. He asws said: I asws advise you to fear Allah azwj, and be truthful in (narrating) the Hadeeth, and the piety, and strive hard (Ijtihad for your affairs). And know that he who has not piety with him would not benefit from his hard work (in submission to Allah azwj ). و إ ياك أ ن ت ط م ح ن ف س ك إ ل ى م ن ف و ق ك و آ ف ى ب م ا ق ال الل ه ع ز و ج ل ل ر س ول ه (صلى االله عليه وا له) ف لا ت ع ج ب ك أ م وال ه م و لا أ و لاد ه م و ق ال الل ه ع ز و ج ل ل ر س ول ه و لا ت م د ن ع ي ن ي ك إ لى ما م تع نا ب ه أ ز واجا م ن ه م ز ه ر ة ال ح ياة ال دن يا ف ا ن خ ف ت ش ي ي ا م ن ذ ل ك ف اذ آ ر ع ي ش ر س ول الل ه (صلى االله عليه وا له) ف ا نم ا آ ان ق وت ه ال شع ير و ح ل و اه ال تم ر و و ق ود ه ال سع ف إ ذ ا و ج د ه و إ ذ ا أ ص ب ت ب م ص يب ة ف اذ آ ر م ص اب ك ب ر س ول الل ه (صلى االله عليه وا له) ف ا ن ال خ ل ق ل م ي ص اب وا ب م ث ل ه (عليه السلام) ق ط. 6 out of 56

7 And beware of ت ط م ح ن ف س ك the craving desires of your Nafs 1 that (tempt you to have) which is with the one above you, hence restrain from that. Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said to His azwj Messenger saww : [9:55] Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration, and Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to His azwj Messenger saww : [20:131] And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendour of this world's life. So if you are scared of that, remember the example of the Rasool Allah saww, for his saww meal was of barley (bread) and sweetness of the dates, and his saww fire (for heat) was from twigs of the palm tree, if he saww found them. And if you are in hardship, remember the hardships of the Rasool Allah saww, for the creatures (people) have never been afflicted with the like of what he saww had been afflicted with, at all ع دة م ن أ ص ح اب ن ا ع ن س ه ل ب ن ز ي اد ع ن اب ن م ح ب وب ع ن ال ح س ن ب ن ال سر ي ع ن أ ب ي م ر ي م ع ن أ ب ي ج ع ف ر (عليه السلام) ق ال س م ع ت ج اب ر ب ن ع ب د الل ه ي ق ول إ ن ر س ول ال له (صلى االله عليه وا له) م ر ب ن ا ذ ات ي و م و ن ح ن ف ي ن اد ين ا و ه و ع ل ى ن اق ت ه و ذ ل ك ح ين ر ج ع م ن ح جة ال و د اع ف و ق ف ع ل ي ن ا ف س لم ف ر د د ن ا ع ل ي ه ال سل ام H A number of our companions, from sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Hassan Bin Al-Sarayy, from Abu Maryam, who has said the following: Abu Ja far asws said: I asws heard Jabir Bin Abdullah saying that, The Rasool Allah saww passed by us one day whilst we were in our group, and he saww was upon his saww mule, and that was when he saww was returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage. He saww paused near to us and greeted us. We returned his saww greeting. ث م ق ال م ا ل ي أ ر ى ح ب الد ن ي ا ق د غ ل ب ع ل ى آ ث ير م ن ال ناس ح تى آ ا ن ال م و ت ف ي ه ذ ه الد ن ي ا ع ل ى غ ي ر ه م آ ت ب و آ ا ن ال ح ق ف ي ه ذ ه الد ن ي ا ع ل ى غ ي ر ه م و ج ب و ح تى آ ا ن ل م ي س م ع وا و ي ر و ا م ن خ ب ر ال ا م و ات ق ب ل ه م س ب يل ه م س ب يل ق و م س ف ر ع ما ق ل ي ل إ ل ي ه م ر اج ع ون ب ي وت ه م أ ج د اث ه م و ي ا آ ل ون ت ر اث ه م ف ي ظ نون أ نه م م خ لد ون ب ع د ه م ه ي ه ات ه ي ه ات [أ ] م ا ي تع ظ ا خ ر ه م ب ا ول ه م ل ق د ج ه ل وا و ن س وا آ ل و اع ظ ف ي آ ت اب الل ه و ا م ن وا ش ر آ ل ع اق ب ة س وء و ل م ي خ اف وا ن ز ول ف اد ح ة و ب و اي ق ح اد ث ة Then he saww said: From what I saww see, love of the world have overcome many from the people to the extent that as if the death in this world has been Ordained to come upon other than them, and as if the truth in this world has been obligated on other than them, and to the extent that as if they had never heard nor seen the news of the death of those who lived before them, even though their own path is the path of the people on a journey. After a short while they will be returning to their homes, their tombs, and their inheritors would be consuming their legacies thinking that they would now be living forever after those ones. Alas! Alas! The later ones do not take a lesson from the former ones. They have become ignorant and forgotten all the Advice in the Book of Allah azwj and feel safe from all the evil consequences of the bad deeds and do not fear the descent into the grave and the events that are to occur. 1 heart 7 out of 56

Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who prevents himself from finding faults with the Believers from his brethren. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who is humble to Allah azwj,mighty is His azwj Mention, and restricts himself to what Allah azwj has Prohibited for him without turning away from my saww way of life, and rejects the blossoms of the world without turning away from my saww Sunnah and follows the best ones asws from my saww Family from after me saww, and avoids the people of vanity and pride, and the ones who are infatuated with regards to the world, the heretics opposed to my saww Sunnah, the workers in other than my saww way. ط وب ى ل م ن اآ ت س ب م ن ال م و م ن ين م ال ا م ن غ ي ر م ع ص ي ة ف ا ن ف ق ه ف ي غ ي ر م ع ص ي ة و ع اد ب ه ع ل ى أ ه ل ال م س ك ن ة ط وب ى ل م ن ح س ن م ع ال ناس خ ل ق ه و ب ذ ل ل ه م م ع ون ت ه و ع د ل ع ن ه م ش ر ه ط وب ى ل م ن أ ن ف ق ال ق ص د و ب ذ ل ال ف ض ل و أ م س ك ق و ل ه ع ن ال ف ض ول و ق ب يح ال ف ع ل. Tooba (Goodness) is for the Believing ones who earn the wealth without disobedience (sins), so they spend in other than sinful ways, and by it aid the poor. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who is good with the people in manners and supports them and turns away from them from their evil. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who spends in moderation and donates the excess, and refrains from speaking vain words and (engages himself in) ugly deeds ال ح س ي ن ب ن م ح مد ال ا ش ع ر ي ع ن م ع لى ب ن م ح مد ر ف ع ه ع ن ب ع ض ال ح ك م اء ق ال إ ن أ ح ق ال ناس أ ن ي ت م نى ال غ ن ى ل ل ناس أ ه ل ال ب خ ل ل ا ن ال ناس إ ذ ا اس ت غ ن و ا آ فوا ع ن أ م و ال ه م و إ ن أ ح ق ال ناس أ ن ي ت م نى ص ل اح ال ناس أ ه ل ال ع ي وب ل ا ن ال نا س إ ذ ا ص ل ح وا آ فوا ع ن ت ت بع ع ي وب ه م و إ ن أ ح ق ال ناس أ ن ي ت م نى ح ل م ال ناس أ ه ل ال سف ه ا لذ ين ي ح ت اج ون أ ن ي ع ف ى ع ن س ف ه ه م H Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, with a chain going up to some of the wise ones who said: The most deserving of the people who wish to enrich the people are the niggardly ones, because if the people become rich they would refrain from their wealth. And the most deserving of the people who wish for the correction of the people are the ones with the faults, because if the people are corrected, they would refrain from following their faults. And the most deserving of the people who wish for forbearance for the people are the foolish ones who need to be exempted from their foolishness. ف ا ص ب ح أ ه ل ال ب خ ل ي ت م نو ن ف ق ر ال ناس و أ ص ب ح أ ه ل ال ع ي وب ي ت م نو ن ف س ق ه م و أ ص ب ح أ ه ل ال ذن وب ي ت م نو ن س ف ه ه م و ف ي ال ف ق ر ال ح اج ة إ ل ى ال ب خ يل و ف ي ال ف س اد ط ل ب ع و ر ة أ ه ل ال ع ي وب و ف ي ال سف ه ال م ك اف ا ة ب ال ذن و ب. On the contrary, the niggardly ones become wishers of poverty for the people, and the faulty ones become wishers for mischief for them, and the sinful ones become 2 A Tree in the Paradise 8 out of 56

9 wishers for their foolishness. And in poverty people are needy to the niggardly ones, and in mischief they find faults with the faulty ones, and in foolishness, the recompense is by the sins.

H A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hassan Bin Rahid who said: Abu Abdullah asws said: O Hassan! If a calamity were to descend upon you, do not complain about it to any one from the opposition, but mention it to one of your brothers, for you will not be benefit from one of the four qualities either sufficiency by wealth, or assistance by prestige, or an Answered supplication, or consultation by opinion. 9 out of 56

So He azwj Bestows life and Brings upon death and Measures out the sustenance by His azwj Knowledge by an Estimation, and Mastered by His azwj Wisdom the measure of it. He azwj is All- Aware, All-Seeing. He azwj is Eternal without cessation, and the Remaining without an end. He azwj Knows what is in the earth, and what is in the Heaven, and what lies between the two and what is (covered) underneath the soil. أ ح م د ه ب خ ال ص ح م د ه ال م خ ز ون ب م ا ح م د ه ب ه ال م ل اي ك ة و ال نب يون ح م دا ل ا ي ح ص ى ل ه ع د د و ل ا ي ت ق دم ه أ م د و ل ا ي ا ت ي ب م ث ل ه أ ح د أ وم ن ب ه و أ ت و آل ع ل ي ه و أ س ت ه د يه و أ س ت ك ف يه و أ س ت ق ض يه ب خ ي ر و أ س ت ر ض يه و أ ش ه د أ ن ل ا إ ل ه إ لا الل ه و ح د ه ل ا ش ر يك ل ه و أ ش ه د أ ن م ح مدا ع ب د ه و ر س ول ه أ ر س ل ه ب ال ه د ى و د ين ال ح ق ل ي ظ ه ر ه ع ل ى ال دين آ له و ل و آ ر ه ال م ش ر آ ون ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و ا ل ه I asws Praise Him azwj sincerely with the treasured Praise, by what the Angels and the Prophets as Praised Him azwj. A Praise which cannot be numbered, nor can time pass it by, and no one has even come with the like of it. I asws believe in Him azwj and place reliance upon Him azwj, and Guided by Him azwj, Sufficed by Him azwj, and Judged by Him azwj with good, and by His azwj Pleasure. And I asws testify that there is no god except Allah azwj, One with no associates to Him azwj, and I asws testify that Muhammad saww is His azwj servant and His azwj Messenger saww having Sent with the Guidance and the Religion of the Truth to Make it overcome all of the other Religions even though the Polytheists may be averse to it. May greetings be upon him saww and his saww Progeny asws. أ يه ا ال ناس إ ن ال دن ي ا ل ي س ت ل ك م ب د ار و ل ا ق ر ار إ نم ا أ ن ت م ف يه ا آ ر آ ب ع رس وا ف ا ن اخ وا ث م اس ت ق لوا ف غ د و ا و ر اح وا د خ ل وا خ ف افا و ر اح وا خ ف افا ل م ي ج د وا ع ن م ض ي ن ز وعا و ل ا إ ل ى م ا ت ر آ وا ر ج وعا ج د ب ه م ف ج دوا و ر آ ن وا إ ل ى ال دن ي ا ف م ا اس ت ع دوا ح تى إ ذ ا أ خ ذ ب ك ظ م ه م و خ ل ص وا إ ل ى د ار ق و م ج فت أ ق ل ام ه م ل م ي ب ق م ن أ آ ث ر ه م خ ب ر و ل ا أ ث ر O you people! The world is not a house for you to settle in, but rather you are in it like passengers of a caravan, which have been asked to move on soon after being disembarked. They came to it lightly (without luggage) and would be exiting from it 10 out of 56

11 lightly (with empty hands), not finding a way to divert from the journey, or a way to return to what they had left behind. Take them seriously, for they relied upon the world and did not prepare until they were taken by the throat, and their conclusion was that they ended-up in a house of people for whom the pens have dried up (nothing to be written anymore for them). There remains neither any news for most of them nor any traces of them. ق ل ف ي الد ن ي ا ل ب ث ه م و ع جل إ ل ى ال ا خ ر ة ب ع ث ه م ف ا ص ب ح ت م ح ل ول ا ف ي د ي ار ه م ظ اع ن ين ع ل ى ا ث ار ه م و ال م ط اي ا ب ك م ت س ير س ي را م ا ف يه أ ي ن و ل ا ت ف ت ير ن ه ار آ م ب ا ن ف س ك م د ء وب و ل ي ل ك م ب ا ر و اح ك م ذ ه وب ف ا ص ب ح ت م ت ح ك ون م ن ح ال ه م ح ال ا و ت ح ت ذ ون م ن م س ل ك ه م م ث ال ا ف ل ا ت غ ر ن ك م ال ح ي اة الد ن ي ا ف ا نم ا أ ن ت م ف يه ا س ف ر ح ل ول ال م و ت ب ك م ن ز ول ت ن ت ض ل ف يك م م ن اي اه و ت م ض ي ب ا خ ب ار آ م م ط اي اه إ ل ى د ار ال ثو اب و ال ع ق اب و ال ج ز اء و ال ح س اب They were in the world only for a little while and were dispatched to the Hereafter in a hurry. So you have become residents in their houses, following in their footsteps like a herd of animals travelling on a journey in which there is neither Where (are we going?) and no How far (are we going?). Your days are tiring upon yourselves and your nights are an escape for your souls. So in the morning your condition is what their condition used to be and you just follow their ways as examples. So do not let the life of the world deceive you, for you are only travelers in it. Death would descend among you and shoot its arrows, and herd you all to the House of the Reward, and the Punishment, and the Recompense, and the Accounting. ف ر ح م الل ه ام ر أ ر اق ب ر ب ه و ت ن كب ذ ن ب ه و آ اب ر ه و اه و آ ذب م ن اه ام ر أ ز م ن ف س ه م ن ال تق و ى ب ز م ام و أ ل ج م ه ا م ن خ ش ي ة ر به ا ب ل ج ام ف ق اد ه ا إ ل ى ال طاع ة ب ز م ام ه ا و ق د ع ه ا ع ن ال م ع ص ي ة ب ل ج ام ه ا ر اف عا إ ل ى ال م ع اد ط ر ف ه م ت و قعا ف ي آ ل أ و ان ح ت ف ه د اي م ال ف ك ر ط و يل ال سه ر ع ز وفا ع ن الد ن ي ا س ا ما آ د وحا لا خ ر ت ه م ت ح اف ظ ا May Allah azwj have Mercy upon the person who is concerned about his Lord azwj and moved away from his sins, and (likes to) argue against his own desires and rejects his own yearnings. A person who harnessed himself with the reins of piety for fearing for the Sake of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic, led to His azwj obedience by its reins, raising his head towards the Return with his eyes expecting the approach of death at all times, permanently thinking about it with a prolonged vigilance, abstaining from the world, earnestly working for the Hereafter. ام ر أ ج ع ل ال صب ر م ط ية ن ج ات ه و ال تق و ى ع دة و ف ات ه و د و اء أ ج و اي ه ف اع ت ب ر و ق اس و ت ر ك ال دن ي ا و ال ناس ي ت ع لم ل ل تف قه و ال سد اد و ق د و قر ق ل ب ه ذ آ ر ال م ع اد و ط و ى م ه اد ه و ه ج ر و س اد ه م ن ت ص با ع ل ى أ ط ر اف ه د اخ ل ا ف ي أ ع ط اف ه خ اش عا ل له ع ز و ج ل ي ر او ح ب ي ن ال و ج ه و ال ك في ن خ ش وع ف ي ال س ر ل ر به ل د م ع ه ص ب يب و ل ق ل ب ه و ج يب ش د يد ة أ س ب ال ه ت ر ت ع د م ن خ و ف الل ه ع ز و ج ل أ و ص ال ه ق د ع ظ م ت ف يم ا ع ن د الل ه ر غ ب ت ه و اش ت دت م ن ه ر ه ب ت ه ر اض يا ب ال ك ف اف م ن أ م ر ه ي ظ ه ر د ون م ا ي ك ت م و ي ك ت ف ي ب ا ق ل م ما ي ع ل م A person who has made the patience to be his ride to salvation, and the piety as his preparation for his death and as a medication for his (spiritual) illness. He learned a lesson, and considered, and left the world and the people. He learnt it for understanding and steadfastness, and his heart had respected the remembrance of the Return. He folded up his mattress, separated himself from his pillow, stood up on his feet and entered in its surroundings, fearful for the Sake of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic, displaying humbleness between his face and the two palms in secret to his Lord azwj shedding tears and making his heart as a strong enclave in a prolonged fear of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic. His interest is great regarding what is in the possession of Allah azwj whilst his fear for Pleasing Him azwj is intense. He suffices 11 out of 56

12 himself with the subsistence for his affairs and displays other than what he conceals, being content with the minimum from what he knows. أ ول ي ك و د اي ع الل ه ف ي ب ل اد ه ال م د ف وع ب ه م ع ن ع ب اد ه ل و أ ق س م أ ح د ه م ع ل ى الل ه ج ل ذ آ ر ه ل ا ب ره أ و د ع ا ع ل ى أ ح د ن ص ر ه الل ه ي س م ع إ ذ ا ن اج اه و ي س ت ج يب ل ه إ ذ ا د ع اه ج ع ل الل ه ال ع اق ب ة ل ل تق و ى و ال ج نة ل ا ه ل ه ا م ا و ى د ع اؤ ه م ف يه ا أ ح س ن ال دع اء س ب ح ان ك الل ه م د ع اه م ال م و ل ى ع ل ى م ا ا ت اه م و ا خ ر د ع و اه م أ ن ال ح م د ل له ر ب ال ع ال م ين. These are the trusted ones of Allah azwj in His azwj land, by whom He azwj Defends His azwj servants. If one of them were to swear upon Allah azwj Majestic is His azwj Mention, he would fulfill it, or if he were to supplicate against anyone, Allah azwj would Help him. He azwj Listens to him when he whispers to Him azwj and Answers Him azwj when he calls upon Him azwj. Allah azwj has Made the Good Ending to be for the pious and the Paradise for its deserving ones. [10:10] Their cry in it shall be the best of the calls Glory to Thee, O Allah!

We Praise Him azwj for His azwj Bounties and apparent Blessings, with a Praise weighed by His azwj Greatness and His azwj Majesty, and filled by His azwj Blessings and Greatness. And I asws testify that there is no god except for Allah azwj, One with no associates to Him azwj, Who azwj was in His azwj Existence as Foremost and in His azwj Everlasting. Veiled from the creatures was His azwj Oneness, and His azwj Lordship, and His azwj being Eternal, and they were submitted to the continuance of time. و أ ش ه د أ ن م ح مدا (صلى االله عليه وا له) ع ب د ه و ر س ول ه و خ ي ر ت ه م ن خ ل ق ه اخ ت ار ه ب ع ل م ه و اص ط ف اه ل و ح ي ه و اي ت م ن ه ع ل ى س ره و ار ت ض اه ل خ ل ق ه و ان ت د ب ه ل ع ظ يم أ م ر ه و ل ض ي اء م ع ال م د ين ه و م ن اه ج س ب يل ه و م ف ت اح و ح ي ه و س ب با ل ب اب ر ح م ت ه اب ت ع ث ه ع ل ى ح ين ف ت ر ة م ن ال رس ل و ه د أ ة م ن ال ع ل م و اخ ت ل اف م ن ال م ل ل و ض ل ال ع ن ال ح ق و ج ه ال ة ب ال ر ب و آ ف ر ب ال ب ع ث و ال و ع د أ ر س ل ه إ ل ى ال ناس أ ج م ع ين ر ح م ة ل ل ع ال م ين ب ك ت اب آ ر يم ق د ف ضل ه و ف صل ه و ب ين ه و أ و ض ح ه و أ ع زه و ح ف ظ ه م ن أ ن ي ا ت ي ه ال ب اط ل م ن ب ي ن ي د ي ه و م ن خ ل ف ه ت ن ز يل م ن ح ك يم ح م يد ض ر ب ل ل ناس ف يه ال ا م ث ال و ص رف ف يه ال ا ي ات ل ع له م ي ع ق ل ون أ ح ل ف ي ه ال ح ل ال و ح رم ف يه ال ح ر ام و ش ر ع ف يه ال دين ل ع ب اد ه ع ذ را و ن ذ را ل ي لا ي ك ون ل ل ناس ع ل ى الل ه ح جة ب ع د ال رس ل و ي ك ون ب ل اغ ا ل ق و م ع اب د ين ف ب لغ ر س ال ت ه و ج اه د ف ي س ب يل ه و ع ب د ه ح تى أ ت اه ال ي ق ين ص لى الل ه ع ل ي ه و ا ل ه و س لم ت س ل يما آ ث يرا And I asws testify that Muhammad saww is His azwj servant, and His azwj Messenger saww, and His azwj elite from His azwj creatures having Chosen him saww with His azwj Knowledge and Selected him saww for His azwj Revelation, and Relied upon him saww for His azwj Secret, and was Pleased with him saww for His azwj creatures, Assigned him saww for His azwj Great Command as a beacon for the Principles of His azwj Religion and a Program for His azwj Way, and an Opener for His azwj Revelation, as a Reason for the Door of His azwj Mercy. He azwj Sent him saww during a gap from the Messengers as, and Guides from the Knowledge, and during fatigue from the differing and straying from the truth, and ignorance about the Lord azwj, and denial of the Resurrection, and the Promise that He azwj Sent him saww to all the people as a Mercy to the Worlds by the 13 out of 56

14 Honourable Book which He azwj had Excelled it, and Detailed it, and Explained it, and Clarified it, and Strengthened it, and Preserved it from it being approached by the falsehood from its front and from its back. A Revelation from the Most Wise and Praised One azwj. In it He azwj struck examples, and Gave therein Signs for the ones who have intellect. He azwj Permitted therein the Permissibles and Prohibited therein the Prohibitions, and Legalised therein the Religion for His azwj servants, Giving Excuses and Warnings so that they would become a Proof for the people to Allah azwj after the Messengers as and become a Preaching for a worshipping people. So he saww preached His azwj Message, and strived in His azwj Way, and worshipped Him azwj they were convinced. May Greetings of Allah azwj be upon him saww and his saww Progeny asws, and submission to him saww be a lot of Peace. أ وص يك م ع ب اد الل ه و أ وص ي ن ف س ي ب ت ق و ى الل ه ا لذ ي اب ت د أ ال ا م ور ب ع ل م ه و إ ل ي ه ي ص ير غ دا م يع اد ه ا و ب ي د ه ف ن اؤ ه ا و ف ن اؤ آ م و ت ص رم أ يام ك م و ف ن اء ا ج ال ك م و ان ق ط اع م د ت ك م ف ك ا ن ق د ز ال ت ع ن ق ل يل ع نا و ع ن ك م آ م ا ز ال ت ع من آ ان ق ب ل ك م I asws advise you, O servants of Allah azwj to fear Allah azwj Who Began the affairs by His azwj Knowledge and to Him azwj is their journey tomorrow for its end.

Make your striving in this world to provide from these shortlived days for the days of the Hereafter which are prolonged, for this is the house for the deeds and the Hereafter is the house for dwelling in, and the Recompense. So abandon it (the world), for deceived is the one who is deceived by its deception. Do not rely upon the world by attaching your hopes and become the ones who love it, the ones who covet it, the ones who are fascinated by it just like what Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: [10:24] The likeness of this world's life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect. م ع أ ن ه ل م ي ص ب ام ر ؤ م ن ك م ف ي ه ذ ه ال دن ي ا ح ب ر ة إ لا أ و ر ث ت ه ع ب ر ة و ل ا ي ص ب ح ف يه ا ف ي ج ن اح ا م ن إ لا و ه و ي خ اف ف يه ا ن ز ول ج اي ح ة أ و ت غ ير ن ع م ة أ و ز و ال ع اف ي ة م ع أ ن ال م و ت م ن و ر اء ذ ل ك و ه و ل ال م طل ع و ال و ق وف ب ي ن ي د ي ال ح ك م ال ع د ل ت ج ز ى آ ل ن ف س ب م ا ع م ل ت ل ي ج ز ي ا لذ ين أ ساؤ ا ب ما ع م ل وا و ي ج ز ي ا لذ ين أ ح س ن وا ب ال ح س ن ى Along with that, a person never got experience in this world except that he inherited a lesson from it, nor did he wake up in the morning feeling secure except that he feared in it the descent of a catastrophe, or a change in bounties or a decline in 14 out of 56

Then he asws said to me: Do you know of Al-Zawra? I said, May I be sacrificed for you asws, they are saying that it is Baghdad. He asws said: No. Then he asws said: Have you been to Al-Rayy? I said, Yes. He asws said: Did you come across the animal market? I said, Yes. He asws said: Have you seen the black mountain on the right? Well, that is Al-Zawra, in which eighty thousand would be killed, including eighty men from among them from the children of so and so, all of them being suitable for the ل ل خ ل اف ة succession.

A people who are higher than them, who spend their wealth, tiring their bodies to the extent that they came up to us asws, hear our asws Hadeeth and transmit these to them.

19 And with regards to the Statement of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: [88:1] Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity? he asws said; These are the ones who have cheated the Imam asws up to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: [88:7] Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger, said: It will neither benefit them, nor free them from needs, nor will it benefit them with the entering (marital relationships), nor free them from the need of sitting down (from begging for more) ع ن ه ع ن ع ل ي ب ن ال ح س ي ن ع ن ع ل ي ب ن أ ب ي ح م ز ة ع ن أ ب ي ب ص ير ع ن أ ب ي ع ب د الل ه (عليه السلام) ف ي ق و ل ال له ع ز و ج ل ما ي ك ون م ن ن ج وى ث لاث ة إ لا ه و راب ع ه م و لا خ م س ة إ لا ه و ساد س ه م و لا أ د نى م ن ذل ك و لا أ آ ث ر إ لا ه و م ع ه م أ ي ن ما آان وا ث م ي ن ب ي ه م ب ما ع م ل وا ي و م ال ق يام ة إ ن الل ه ب ك ل ش ي ء ع ل يم ق ال ن ز ل ت ه ذ ه ال ا ي ة ف ي ف ل ان و ف ل ان و أ ب ي ع ب ي د ة ال ج راح و ع ب د ال رح م ن ب ن ع و ف و س ال م م و ل ى أ ب ي ح ذ ي ف ة و ال م غ ير ة ب ن ش ع ب ة ح ي ث آ ت ب وا ال ك ت اب ب ي ن ه م و ت ع اه د وا و ت و اف ق وا ل ي ن م ض ى م ح مد ل ا ت ك ون ال خ ل اف ة ف ي ب ن ي ه اش م و ل ا الن ب و ة أ ب دا ف ا ن ز ل الل ه ع ز و ج ل ف يه م ه ذ ه ال ا ي ة H From him, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Ali Bin Abu hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah asws regarding the Statement of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic: [58:7] Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them wheresoever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things. He asws said; This was Revealed regarding so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and Abu Ubeyda Ibn Al-Jarrah, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, and Saalim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa, and Al-Mugheira Bin Sho ba, when they wrote the agreement in between them and took a pledge and agreed that if Muhammad saww were to pass away, they would not let the Caliphate to be in the Clan of Hashim, nor the Prophet-hood ever. So Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed this Verse with regards to them. ق ال ق ل ت ق و ل ه ع ز و ج ل أ م أ ب ر م وا أ م را ف ا نا م ب ر م ون أ م ي ح س ب ون أ نا لا ن س م ع س ره م و ن ج واه م ب لى و ر س ل نا ل د ي ه م ي ك ت ب ون ق ال و ه ات ان ال ا ي ت ان ن ز ل ت ا ف يه م ذ ل ك ال ي و م ق ال أ ب و ع ب د الل ه (عليه السلام) ل ع لك ت ر ى أ ن ه آ ان ي و م ي ش ب ه ي و م آ ت ب ال ك ت اب إ لا ي و م ق ت ل ال ح س ي ن (عليه السلام) و ه ك ذ ا آ ان ف ي س اب ق ع ل م الل ه ع ز و ج ل ا لذ ي أ ع ل م ه ر س ول ال له (صلى االله عليه وا له) أ ن إ ذ ا آ ت ب ال ك ت اب ق ت ل ال ح س ي ن و خ ر ج ال م ل ك م ن ب ن ي ه اش م ف ق د آ ان ذ ل ك آ ل ه I said, The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: [43:79] Or have they settled an affair? Then surely, We are the settlers. [43:80] Or do they think that We do not hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? Indeed (We do), and Our messengers are by them, to record. He asws said: And these two Verse were Revealed regarding them on that day. Abu Abdullah asws said: Hopefully you will see that is was a day resembling the day of the writing of the agreement except for the day Al-Husayn asws was martyred, and thus it had preceded in the Knowledge of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic which He azwj Made known to the Rasool Allah saww that when the agreement is written down, Al-Husayn asws would be martyred, and the kingdom would exit from the Clan of Hashim. So all of that did take place. 19 out of 56

He asws said: The two groups, but rather its explanation came on the day of Al-Basra (The battle of the Camel), and they are the ones belonging to this Verse, and they are the ones who rebelled against Amir-ul- Momineen asws. So it was obligatory upon him asws to fight them, and he asws fought them until they submitted to the Command of Allah azwj. And had they not been submitted, it became obligatory upon him asws with regards to what Allah azwj Revealed, that he asws should not raise his sword (stop fighting) until they complied and returned from their opinions, because they had pledged their allegiances willingly, without compulsion. And this is the rebel group as Allah azwj the High has Said. ف ك ان ال و اج ب ع ل ى أ م ير ال م و م ن ين (عليه السلام) أ ن ي ع د ل ف يه م ح ي ث آ ان ظ ف ر ب ه م آ م ا ع د ل ر س ول الل ه (صلى االله عليه وا له) ف ي أ ه ل م كة إ نم ا م ن ع ل ي ه م و ع ف ا و آ ذ ل ك ص ن ع أ م ير ال م و م ن ين (عليه السلام) ب ا ه ل ال ب ص ر ة ح ي ث ظ ف ر ب ه م م ث ل م ا ص ن ع ال نب ي (صلى االله عليه وا له) ب ا ه ل م كة ح ذ و ال نع ل ب ال نع ل So it was obligatory upon Amir-ul-Momineen asws that he asws should deal with justice among them when he asws was victorious over them, just as the Rasool Allah saww had been just among the people of Mecca, he saww was benevolent upon them and forgave them. And that is what Amir-ul-Momineen asws did with the people of Al-Basra when he asws was victorious over them similar to what the Rasool Allah saww did with the people of Mecca. Like a sandal follows a sandal (same footsteps). ق ال ق ل ت ق و ل ه ع ز و ج ل و ال م و ت ف ك ة أ ه وى ق ال ه م أ ه ل ال ب ص ر ة ه ي ال م و ت ف ك ة I said, (What about) the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: [53:53] And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah). He asws said: These are the people of Al-Basra. It is the overthrown city. ق ل ت و ال م و ت ف كات أ ت ت ه م ر س ل ه م ب ال ب ينات ق ال أ ول ي ك ق و م ل وط اي ت ف ك ت ع ل ي ه م ان ق ل ب ت ع ل ي ه م. I said, (What about) [9:70] and the overthrown cities; their messengers came to them with clear arguments. He asws said: They were the people of Lut as, their town was turned upside down upon them ع ل ي ب ن إ ب ر اه يم ع ن ع ب د الل ه ب ن م ح مد ب ن ع يس ى ع ن ص ف و ان ب ن ي ح ي ى ع ن ح ن ان ق ال س م ع ت أ ب ي ي ر و ي ع ن أ ب ي ج ع ف ر (عليه السلام) ق ال آ ان س ل م ان ج ال سا م ع ن ف ر م ن ق ر ي ش ف ي ال م س ج د ف ا ق ب ل وا ي ن ت س ب ون و ي ر ف ع ون ف ي أ ن س اب ه م ح تى ب ل غ وا س ل م ان ف ق ال ل ه ع م ر ب ن ال خ طاب أ خ ب ر ن ي م ن أ ن ت و م ن أ ب وك و م ا أ ص ل ك ف ق ال أ ن ا س ل م ان ب ن ع ب د الل ه آ ن ت ض ال ا ف ه د ان ي الل ه ع ز و ج ل ب م ح مد (صلى االله عليه وا له) و آ ن ت ع اي ل ا ف ا غ ن ان ي الل ه ب م ح م د (صلى االله عليه وا له) و آ ن ت م م ل وآا ف ا ع ت ق ن ي الل ه ب م ح مد (صلى االله عليه وا له) ه ذ ا ن س ب ي و ه ذ ا ح س ب ي 20 out of 56
