[muhibb-ali]

~ Narrations on the importance of the remembering and talking about the AhlulBait (as) and

that the Zikr of AhlulBait (as) is the Zikr of Allah ~

 

عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن فضالة بن أيوب عن علي بن أبي حمزة قال: سمعت أبا عبدالله عليه السلام يقول: شيعتنا الرحمآء بينهم، الذين إذا خلوا ذكرواالله [إن ذكرنا من ذكر الله] إنا إذا ذكرنا ذكر الله وإذا ذكر عدو ناذ كر الشيطان

 

A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Ali ibn abu Hamza who has said the following:

"I heard Abu Abdillah (as) saying, "Our Shia are compassionate to each other. When they are alone they speak of and remember Allah. To speak of us is to speak of Allah. When we are mentioned Allah is mentioned, but when our enemies are spoken of it is like speaking of Satan."

 

[source: Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, Pg. 186, Chapter. 77, Hadees. 1]

 

حمد بن يحيى، عن محمد بن الحسين، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن صالح بن عقبة، عن يزيد بن عبدالملك، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام قال: تزاوروا فإن في زيارتكم إحياء لقلوبكم وذكرا لاحاديثنا، وأحاديثنا تعطف بعضكم على بعض(2) فإن أخذتم بهار شدتم ونجوتم وإن تركتموها ضللتم وهلكتم، فخذوا بهاو أنا بنجاتكم زعيم

 

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Bazi from Salih ibn ‘Aqabah from Yazid ibn ‘Abd al-Malik from Abu AbdiAllah (as), who said,
 

"Visit each other, verily in it there is a revival for your hearts and a study of our Ahadith (may take place). Our Ahadith helps you to be kind to each other. If you follow them you will find guidance and salvation in them. If you disregard them you will go astray and be destroyed. Therefore, follow them and I will assure you of your salvation."

عدة من أصحابنا، عن سهل بن زياد، عن الوشاء، عن منصور بن يونس عن عباد بن كثير قال: قلت لابي عبدالله عليه السلام: إني مررت بقاص يقص وهو يقول: هذا المجلس [الذي] لا يشقى به جليس، قال: فقال أبوعبدالله عليه السلام: هيهات هيهات، أخطأت(4) أستاههم الحفرة، إن لله ملائكة سياحين، سوى الكرام الكاتبين، فإذا مروا بقوم ذكرون محمدا وآل محمد قالوا: قفوا فقد أصبتم حاجتكم، فيجلسون، فيتفقهون معهم فإذا قاموا عادوا مرضا هم وشهدوا جنائزهم وتعاهدوا غائبهم، فذلك المجلس الذي لا يشقى به جليس

 

A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Washsha from Mansur ibn Yunus from Abbad ibn Kathir who has said the following: 

 

"I said to Abu Abdillah (as), "Once I passed by a storyteller who said to his audience, "This is a gathering whose attendants do not suffer wickedness." The narrator has said that Abu Abdillah (as), then said, "How extremely far is it from reality! You passed by the wrong gathering. (Astahahum al-Hufrah) How terribly wrong is their expresssion! Allah has certain angels who visit places, and they are other than the honorable scribes. When they pass by a people, who speak of Muhammad and Ale Muhammad (as), these angels say, "Stop here. You have found what you needed." They will sit down and begin to think and understand with them. When the gathering disperses they visit their people suffering due to ill health, attend their funerals and look after those of them who are absent. That is the gathering whose attendants do not suffer wickedness."

 

[source: Al-Kafi, Vol. 2, Pg. 186, Chapter. 77, Hadees. 3]

 

محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن الحكم، عن المستورد النخعي، عمن رواه، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام قال ; إن من الملائكة الذين في السماء ليطلعون إلى الواحد والاثنين والثلاثة وهم يذكرون فضل آل محمد قال: فتقول: أما ترون إلى هؤلاء في قلتهم وكثرة عدو هم يصفون فضل آل محمد صلى الله عليه وآله؟ قال: فتقول الطائفة الاخرى من الملائكة: ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء والله ذوالفضل العظيم

 

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Mustawrid al-Nakhai from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from Abu Abdillah (as), who has said the following:

 

"Certain angels of heaven look at one, two or three people on earth speak of the excellence and praise of Aal-e-Muhammad (as) and they say, "Look the small number of these people, their enemies so numerous, they still speak of the praise of
Aal-e-Muhammad (as)." The Imam then said, "Another group of angels say to them, "It is a favor to them from Allah that He grants to whomever He wants, Allah possesses a great deal of favors."

Thank you for this! I've noticed with some shi'as, that they have been saying that we put too much emphasis on doing dhikr of Ahlulbayt (as) rather than Allah (azwj) as they spoke mainly with regards to Allah (azwj), which is true.

 

The reality is, It is our duty to love them & do dhikr of them as it is only through them can we understand him (azwj).
