Tabarra --- The right path in Ghaibah !!!

 

قال رسول الله ص طوبى لمن أدرك قائم أهل بيتي و هو يأتم به في غيبته قبل قيامه و يتولى أولياءه و يعادي أعداءه ذلك من رفقائي و ذوي مودتي و أكرم أمتي علي يوم القيامة

 

The Messenger of Allah (saww) said:

 

"Bliss be for the person who will be in the time of the Qa'im of my Household, who follows the Qa'im during his occultation before his rise and loves his lovers and has enmity with his enemies. Such a person is of my friends and lovers and he is the most honorable of my Ummah to me on the Day of Judgment."

Kitab Al Kafi - Volume 2

H 3381, CH 55, h 20
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following:
“O the Living, O the Guardian, O the One besides Whom no one deserves to be worshipped, I cry to You for help through Your mercy, suffice me whatever concerns me and do not leave me to myself.” One should say it one hundred times in prostrating position.

Saheeh

[muhibb-ali]

Hakima bint Mohammad Taqi (as) when in the house of Imam Hasan Askari (as) on the night of the arrival of the Imam al-Qaim (atfs) says;

 

فقلت لسيدي أبي محمد عليه السلام: ما أرى بها حملا فتبسم عليه السلام ثم قال: إنا معاشر الاوصياء لسنا نحمل في البطون وإنما نحمل في الجنوب ولا نخرج من الارحام وإنما نخرج من الفخذ الايمن من امهاتنا لاننا نور الله لا تناله الدانسات

 

I said to my Master Imam Hasan Askari (as), "I do not see any pregnancy in her." Imam (as) smiled and said: "We successors (Awsiya) are not carried in the abdomens(belly), but rather, we are carried on the sides. We do not come out from wombs, but rather from the right leg from our mothers. Because we are the Divine light (Noor) to which impurities do not reach."

[StrugglingForTheLight]

A person asked Imam Muhammad at-Taqi (p): Tell me about the Lord, the Hallowed, the Exalted, whose names and attributes have been mentioned in His Noble Quran. Are these names and Attributes He Himself?
Imam Muhammad at-Taqi (p): Your question has two aspects. If you mean that His names and attributes are in themselves His Supreme Self, you are attributing plurality and multiplicity to God. He is far above that. But if you mean that these names and attributes have eternal existence then the word eternal shall also have two meanings. First, if you mean that these names and attributes have eternally been in the knowledge of God and He has eternally deserved them, then your conception is right. But if you mean that (in their literal sense) the image, the pronunciation and the spelling of these names and attributes have eternally existed, then may God save us from the notion that there had eternally been any other thing along with God. God existed when there was no creation. God created these names and attributes to be a medium between Himself and His creation. Through these names and attributes they could supplicate before Him and worship Him. And this is the remembrance of God. God existed when there was no remembrance. The object of remembrance is God, the Eternal and eternally existing. But His names and attributes are created and the meaning of these names and attributes is the same as God, and the notion of incongruity and of union (between His self, names and attributes) is not in keeping with His elegance because incongruity and union are found in things compound and divisible. It can neither be said that God is compound nor less nor more and He is eternal in His essence. Everything else is divisible and compound but God is one and indivisible. The notions of �more� and �less� are not applicable to Him. Everything that is divisible or to which �more or less� can be attributed is essentially a created being providing a proof (of the existence) of its Creator...

mam Ali a.s

Do not seek help or protection from anybody but Allah. Reserve your prayers, your requests, your solicitations, your supplications, and your entreaties to Him and Him alone because to grant, to give, to confer and to bestow, as well as to withhold, to deprive, to refuse, and to debar, lies only in His Power. Ask as much of His Blessings and seek as much of His Guidance as you can.

532. Hamdawayh who said: narrated to us Ya’qub from Ibn Abi Umayr from Shuayb from Abi Basir who said: I said to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام – they do say, he said: and what do they say? I said: they say that you know the number of the drops in the rain, and the number of the stars, and the number of leaves in all the trees, and the weight of what is in the ocean, and the number of sand particles, so he عليه السلام raised his hand to the sky and said: praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah, no by Allah, no one knows this except for Allah.

Tafweed (deligation) and Incident of Husain bin Rooh:

 

منها ما أخبرني به الحسين بن عبيد الله، عن أبي عبد الله الحسين بن علي بن سفيان البزوفري رحمه الله، قال: حدثني الشيخ أبو القاسم الحسين بن روح رضي الله عنه قال: اختلف أصحابنا في التفويض وغيره، فمضيت إلى أبي طاهر بن بلال في أيام استقامته فعرفته الخلاف، فقال: أخرني فأخرته أياما فعدت إليه فأخرج إلي حديثا باسناده إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال:
إذا أراد [الله] أمرا عرضه على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، ثم أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام [وسائر الأئمة] واحدا بعد واحد إلى (أن) ينتهي إلىصاحب الزمان عليه السلام ثم يخرج إلى الدنيا، وإذا أراد الملائكة أن يرفعوا إلى الله عز وجل عملا عرض على صاحب الزمان عليه السلام، ثم (يخرج) على واحد [بعد] واحد إلى أن يعرض على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، ثم يعرض على الله عز وجل فما نزل من الله فعلى أيديهم، وما عرج إلى الله فعلى أيديهم، وما استغنوا عن الله عز وجل طرفة عين.

 

What has been narrated to me by Hussein bin Ubaid ullah from Abu Abdullah al Hussein bin Ali, he said I was told by Sheikh Abu ul Qasim Hussin bin Rooh, who said that

 

"There was a difference of opinion about Tafweed in our companions etc. So I went to Abu Tahir bin Bilal in his days of steadfastness, and informed him about this. He said: Wait for some days. I went to him again and he narrated a narration with his chain to Imam Abu Abdullah who said:

 

"When Allah decides for something, he presents that to Prophet asws, then Imam Ali asws, and then All Aimmah asws one after another till it reaches the one of Your era, and then it is given to this world. And when Angels decide to raise something to Allah, they present it to the Chief of Your era, then it pases from one to other (Imam) till it reaches Prophet asws. Then it is presented to Allah. So What is revealed from Allah, it is through their hands, and what is raised to Allah, it is through their hands. And they (Aimmah asws) are not free of him even for glimpse of time."

Dear brother, could you kindly provide the chain of narrators as well as the grading for the hadith? Bihar-al-anwar is perhaps one of our most unauthentic sources i.e it contains a greater proportion of unauthentic hadiths.

 

Credit to you for making the effort to post hadiths and having a website, but i feel it is essential to post the gradings of each hadith as well as the chain of narrators.

 

By imam Raza do you mean Imam Ridha a.s?

[peace seeker II]

The best means by which seekers of nearness to Allah, the Glorified, the Exalted, seek nearness, is the belief in Him and His Prophet, fighting in His cause, for it is the high pinnacle of Islam, and (to believe) in the kalimatu'l-'ikhlas (the expression of Divine purification) for it is just nature and the establishment of prayer for it is (the basis of) community, payment of zakat (Islamic tax) for it is a compulsory obligation, fasting for the month of Ramadan for it is the shield against chastisement, the performance of hajj of the House of Allah (i. e . Ka`bah) and its `umrah (other than annual visit) for these two acts banish poverty and wash away sins, regard for kinship for it increases wealth and length of life, to giving alms secretly for it covers shortcomings, giving alms openly for it protects against a bad death and extending benefits (to people) for it saves from positions of disgrace.

About the Holy Qur'an and Sunnah

Go ahead with the remembrance of Allah for it is the best remembrance, and long for that which He has promised to the pious, for His promise is the most true promise. Tread the course of the Prophet for it is the most distinguished course. Follow the sunnah of the Prophet for it is the most right of all behaviours. Learn the Qur'an for it is the fairest of discourses and understand it thoroughly for it is the best blossoming of hearts. Seek cure with its light for it is the cure for hearts. Recite it beautifully for it is the most beautiful narration. Certainly, a scholar who acts not according to his knowledge is like the off-headed ignorant who does not find relief from his ignorance, but on the learned the plea of Allah is greater and grief more incumbent, and he is more blameworthy before Allah.

Learned is he who knows his worth. It is enough for a man to remain ignorant if he knows not his worth. Certainly, the most hated man with Allah is he whom Allah has left for his own self. He goes astray from the right path, and moves without a guide. If he is called to the plantation of this world he is active, but if he is called to the plantation of the next world he is slow. As though what he is active for is obligatory upon him whereas in whatever he is slow was not required of him.

As for charity, it is your effort, until you say, ‘I (have given) excessively’, but it is not excessive.

7.     And upon you is the night prayer (salāh al-layl). And upon you is noon prayer, and upon you is the noon prayer, and upon you is the noon prayer.

8.     And upon you is the recitation (tilāwah) of the Qur’ān in every situation.

9.     And upon you is the raising of your hands in your salāh, and turning them

10.  And upon you is siwāk (brushing teeth) with every wudū’

11.  And upon you are beautiful manners (al-akhlāq) and possess them, and avoid bad manners.

And if you do not do this, then do not blame (anyone) except yourself’”

حدثنا احمد بن محمد عن الحسين بن سعيد عن على بن احمد بن محمد عن ابيه قال آنت انا وصفوان عند ابى  لحسن عليه السلام فذكروا الامام و فضله قال انما منزلة الامام في الارض بمنزلة القمر في السماء وفى موضعه هو

مطلع على جميع الاشياء آلها.

 

It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin

Ahmad bin Muhammad, from his father who said:

 

"I, and Safwan were in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan (as). Then Imam and His virtues were mentioned. He (as) said: ‘The status of the Imam (as) in the Earth is of the status of the full moon in the sky, and in its place it is well-informed on all of the things."

 

[source: Basaair Al Darajaat, Vol .9, Chapter. 12, Hadees. 7]

 

 

حدثنا الهيثم النهدي عن اسماعيل بن مهران قال آنت انا واحمد بن نصر عند الرضا عليه السلام فجرى ذكر الامام فقال الرضا عليه السلام انما هو مثل القمر يدورفي كل مكان أو يريه من كل مكان.

 

It has been narrated to us by Al-Haysam Al-Nahdy, from Ismail Bin Mahraan who said, "I, and Ahmad Bin Nasr were in the presence of Al-Reza (as). The mention of the Imam (as) ensued. 

 

Al-Reza (as) said: "But, He [the Imam (as)] is like the full moor circling in every place", or He sees from every place."

 

[source: Basaair Al Darajaat, Vol .9, Chapter. 12, Hadees. 8]

The narration is Hasan (Good) as per chain of narrators.

The nine things given to Imam Ali (as)

 

 

أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ عَنْ يَزْدَادَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْطَانِي اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى تِسْعَةَ أَشْيَاءَ لَمْ يُعْطِهَا أَحَداً قَبْلِي خَلَا النَّبِيَّ ص لَقَدْ فُتِحَتْ لِي السُّبُلُ وَ عُلِّمْتُ الْأَنْسَابَ وَ أَجْرَى لِي‏ السَّحَابَ وَ عُلِّمْتُ الْمَنَايَا وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ فَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ وَ لَقَدْ نَظَرْتُ فِي الْمَلَكُوتِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّي فَمَا غَابَ عَنِّي مَا كَانَ قَبْلِي وَ مَا يَأْتِي بَعْدِي وَ إِنَّ بِوَلَايَتِي أَكْمَلَ اللَّهُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ دِينَهُمْ وَ أَتَمَّ عَلَيْهِمُ النِّعَمَ وَ رَضِيَ إِسْلَامَهُمْ إِذْ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْوَلَايَةِ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي أَكْمَلْتُ لَهُمُ الْيَوْمَ دِينَهُمْ وَ رَضِيتُ لَهُمُ‏ الْإِسْلامَ دِيناً وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ نِعْمَتِي كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَنِّ اللَّهِ عَلَيَّ فَلَهُ الْحَمْد

 

Imam Sadiq (as) said that Ameerul Momineen Ali b. Abi Talib (as) said, "I swear by Allah that Allah has granted me nine things which He has not granted to anyone before me other than the Prophet (saww):

1) The paths are opened for me.
2) I have been taught the relations/races. 
3) the clouds are set adrift for me.
4) I know about the deaths and the calamities,
5) (I have been granted) decisive speech,
6) And certainly I gaze at the universe with Allah’s Permission, And is not hidden from me what was before Me and what is after me.
7) And through my authority (Wilayat) Allah has perfected the religion of this nation
8) And perfected His Blessings upon them
9) And is satisfied with their religion, As He said on the Day of Wilayat (Ghadeer), ‘O Muhammad! Inform them that today I have perfected their religion and am satisfied with them with Islam as their religion., I have completed my Blessings for them. 

 

All this is from the blessings of Allah upon Me and all praise is for Him.

"Equip yourselves and be ready, your departure has already been announced."- Imam Ali [as]

'Persevere in this world, which is in fact equivalent to no more than one moment, for that which has passed of this world has neither pain nor pleasure for you (for they have moved on), and that which is yet to come is unknown to you"

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq [a.s] in Al-Kafi (v. 2, p. 74, no. 13)

[Noorelhussain]

 Quoted in Tuhaf al-Uqool: Imam Ali(A.S.) wrote to Abdullah ibn Abbas: So then, a man becomes delighted if he catches up the things that he would never miss and becomes unhappy if he misses the things that he would never catch up. You should be delighted only for the things of the next life that you have caught up, and should be sorry only for the things of the next life that you have missed. Do not be excessively happy for gaining a worldly pleasure and do not be excessively unhappy for missing it. All your concern should be for that which will occur to you after death.

[muhibb-ali]

Sometime Our Ego and arrogance leads us to dislike the Truth/Haqq...

Imam Sadiq (as) has said, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, "The biggest form of arrogance is to belittle or look down upon people and consider the truth foolishness."

I (the narrator) then asked, ‘What is to ‘belittle’ the people and despise/dislike the truth?’ The Imam said, ‘It is ignoring the truth and criticizing the people of truth."

(al-Kafi, Vol. 2)
