HADEETH OF MUSAas

ي بن عيسى رفعه- يه عن عمرو بن عثمان عن ع اهيم عن بر ي بن ع 14456

H 14456 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Isa, from an

unbroken chain.

ن موسى ك)عليه السال(قال ذ قسو ك ف م ا طول في الدن ا ا موسى اه اج ه في م اى فقال ع ارك و اجاه اله عيد ب مي اق ك و قاسي ق

Heasws

said: ‘ (Prophet) Musaas

was whispering (Munajaat) to Allahazwj

Blessed andHigh. Heazwj Said in Hisazwj Whispering: ‘O Musaas! Do not have long hopes regarding

the world. That would harden your

as

heart, and the hard-hearted one is remote fromMeazwj

.

رسمآ آن ىا موسى خفى ع ب اق الاب جديد ق آن خ ة و اخش ك مت ق عصى ف ا طاع ف ن ن مسري ي فيك فيد ين ت اح اليل و اق وت مص ا س ا ح هل السم عرف في رض و ا آثرةهل ي من وت الصارين و صح ق

عان امس عم اعون و عم ي ك ف ى ذ ي ع عن اهارب من عدوه و اس ب امذ اح الذوب ص

O Musaas

! Turn yourself as

(to obedience) for the sake of Myazwj

Pleasure, for if Myazwj

Pleasure is obeyed, so Iazwj am not disobeyed. Kill your heart with the fear and createnew clothes for the heart. You

as will be hidden from the people of the earth and be

recognised by the people of the sky. Spread out the lamps in your house at night and

plead before Meazwj

with the pleading of the patient ones and wail to Meazwj

from thegreat number of the sins like the wailing of the sinner who has fled from his enemies. And seek help for that from Me

azwj for I

azwj am the Best of the Helpers, and the best

of the Supporters.

ا يك ى د دك ع من و أ ا فسك و ى فسك ع ي داخرون فاهم لآ وي و اد د اع اد و اع ا اله فوق ي ا موسى ك دك مث كون و حب الصاحينن

O Musaas

! Iazwj

am Allahazwj

high above the servants, and the servants are belowMeazwj, and everyone is helpless before Meazwj. Accuse yourself for having wrongedyourself, and do not trust your

as son upon your

as Religion unless he becomes like

youas, loving the righteous ones.

ادي الصاحين رب من ع سل و اق ا موسى اغسل و اغ

O Musaas

! Wash and bathe and be near to Myazwj

righteous servants.

O Musaas! Be their Imam in their Prayers, and their Imam in what they squabbleabout, and judge between them by what I

azwj have Revealed unto you

as. I

azwj have

Sent it down as a clear and luminous Proof, and a Light Speaking by what hadtranspired regarding the former ones and what will be regarding the later ones.

O Musaas

! Youas

are Myazwj

servant and Iazwj

am your azwj

God. Do not belittle thedespicable, the poor, and do not envy the rich for a little thing. And become humblein My

azwj Remembrance and in it’s (the Torah) Recitation ravenously by My

azwj

Mercy, and make Meazwj

Hear the pleasance of the Torah in a humble voice, full ofgrief. Be at rest during My

azwj Remembrance, and mention Me

azwj to the ‘one’ who is

assured to Meazwj, and worship Meazwj and do not associate with Meazwj anything. Andmake haste to My

azwj Pleasure, ‘ري اك ا السد ي ’ for I

azwj and the Great Master

azwj. I

azwj

Created youas from a seed of menial water from clay which Iazwj Took out from adisgraceful mixture of dust. So it was a human being and I

azwj carved it into a

creature. So Blessed is Myazwj ’ (My Walias), and Holy is Myazwj Craft. There isوجهي‘

nothing like Meazwj

and Iazwj

am the Eternal Living One who will not Decline.

O Musaas

! When you supplicate to Meazwj

, be fearful, anxious and rub your as

face inthe dust to Me

azwj and prostrate to Me

azwj by the noble parts of your

as body, and

plead in front of Meazwj

when standing, and whisper to Meazwj

when you whisper witha humble heart anxiously, and revive Myazwj Torah in the days of the life, and teachMy

azwj Praise to the ignorant ones, and remind them of My

azwj Favours, and My

azwj

Bounties, and tell them not to persist in the transgression in which they are engulfed,for Myazwj Hold is Painful and Intense.

O Musaas! If Iazwj Cut off your Rope from Meazwj youas will not (be able to) connectwith the rope of others. So, worship Me

azwj, and stand in front of Me

azwj like the

standing of the lowly poor servant. Condemn yourself for it is the highest (mostdeserving) for condemnation, and do not empower the Children of Israel by Myazwj Book, for it is sufficient advice for your

as heart and an enlightenment, and it is the

Speech of the Lordazwj of the Worlds, Majestic and High.

O Musaas

! Whenever you supplicate to Meazwj

and refer to Meazwj

, Iazwj

shall Forgiveyou

as what was from you

as. The sky Glorifies to Me

azwj My

azwj Majesty, and the

Angels are fearful of Me

azwj

and anxious, and the earth Glorifies to Me

azwj

ravenously,and all of the creation Glorifies Meazwj

in humbleness. Then it is on you to Pray. The

8/14/2019 al-Kafi, v. 8, pt. 2



Prayer has a place with Meazwj and for it has in Myazwj Presence a firm Covenant andIazwj Attach to it what was from it.

Zakat is a sacrifice in order to cleanse the wealth, and the food, for Iazwj

do not

Accept except for the ‘ ’ pure, (unless the instructions of) My

azwj

طب‘ ل ا ’ (My Waliوجه

as

)are sought. And Iazwj

Joined with that the maintenance of relations, for Iazwj

am Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful, and as for the relationships, Iazwj Created itPreferentially from My

azwj Mercy for the servants to sympathise (with each other) by

it, and for it, in Myazwj

Presence is an authorization in the return of the Hereafter, andIazwj

will Cut-off the one who cuts it off (from Myazwj

Waliasws

), and Connect with theone who keeps the connection (with Myazwj Waliasws). And that is how Iazwj will Deal inMyazwj Command.

آيف وك ب اكة الرحمن ا جان م نس و يس يك من أ ه سير ف ا عط و رد جميل اك ذا آرم السال ا موسى اك فيما خو آيف مواس ك و ي و اع فيما دعوكنت ص ي م اب و اع اك ة و و ي ف اه الضرع و ي ك و اخشع

وين ا اك آ ى يك و ع ي ع ك من فض ازل و ذ ام ه شرف غ ب وآه ا السد مم دع

O Musaas! Be generous to the beggar when he comes to youas by beautiful words, orgiving easily because he may have come to you from neither from the humans norfrom the Jinn. The Angels of the Beneficent come to test youas to see how youas arein your

as dealings in regard to what I

azwj have Given to you

as, and how consoling

youas

are regarding what Iazwj

have Authorised youas

with. And be humble to Meazwj

with the beseeching, and wail to Me

azwj by lamentations from the Book. And know

that Iazwj

Call you with the Calling of the master to his slave to Make him reach to thehonourable position, and that is from Myazwj Grace to youas and to your as forefathersof the former ones.

ا قسي اي س ن امال ف كثرة فرح ا آل حال و ى ي ع نس ا رضا موسى ا آثرة الذوب امال آثرة وب و مع عد الشدة آي آل زمان ا الرحمن الرحيم رحمان ين و ا الق اي شق حار مطيعة و عص ا ا مطيعة و مطيعة و السم

O Musaas! Do not forget Meazwj in every situation, and do not be happy due to theabundance of the wealth, because forgetting Me

azwj hardens the hearts, and the

abundance of the wealth brings the abundance of the sins. The earth is obedient,and the sky is obedient, and the oceans are obedient, whereas disobedient to Meazwj are the unfortunate ones of Humans and the Jinns (Al-Saqalayn). And I

azwj am the

Beneficent, the Merciful. Iazwj am Beneficent in every era. Iazwj Give hardship afterease, and ease after hardship, and kings after kings, whereas My

azwj Kingdom is

permanently based and will never cease. And there is not hidden from Meazwj anything in the earth, nor in the sky, and how can it be hidden from Me

azwj and from

Meazwj

is its beginning, and how come you are not fearful regarding what is in Myazwj

possession, and to Me

azwj you

as will inevitably return.

خف غير ا ي و آنزك من الصاحات و خف ي حرزك و ضع عندي امصيرا موسى اجع ي ي

7 out of 62

O Musaas

! Make Meazwj

to be your as

Protector, and place in Myazwj

possession your

treasure for the good deeds, and fear Me

azwj

and do not fear others. To Me

azwj

is thedestination.

8/14/2019 al-Kafi, v. 8, pt. 2



ا سفل منك في هو احطبا موسى ارحم من آل الار أ آما ات احس آل أ احسد ن هو فوقك ف حسد من ا ق و خ

O Musaas! Be merciful to the one who is lower than you among the creatures, and donot become jealous of the one who is above you

as, for the jealousy consumes the

good deeds just like the fire consumes the firewood.

امقين فكان من من ا ل ق ا و ان قر ي فقرا ي و رحم من فض ها ا ا ة في منز واضعا ي آدم اب ن موسى ااوزيرش خ و ا عد الصاحب ق مت فكيف هما ما قد ع أ

O Musaas

! The two sons of Adamas

wanted to express humbleness at a stage so thatthey could win Myazwj Grace and Myazwj Mercy. So they offered offerings, and Iazwj donot Accept except from the pious ones. So their affair was what you

as know, so, after

this, how can youas (select) a trustworthy companion, the brother and the vizier (butby Me

azwj)?

ا اآن ك س آر افخر و اذ اكبر و دع ك من الشهواتا موسى ضع عك ذ م قبر ف

O Musaas! Put aside the arrogance and leave the pride, and remember that youas willbe dwelling in the grave, and that should prevent you

as from the lustful desires.

خر ة و ن ا موسى عجل الو اد و حص لشد ي جة رج غيري اخذ ا دي في الصاة و ين امكث ن في الذنب و مور ا مات م

O Musaas

! Hasten to the repentance, and delay the sins, and deliberate in your as

staying in front of Meazwj during the Prayer, and do not place hope in others. TakeMe

azwj to be your

as shield in the difficulties, and as a fortress in disastrous

circumstances.

عرف فض آيف يها و ي ع عرف فض ا يقة ي خ خشع آيف نظر فيه وا موسى آيف نظر فيه و ا هي يها و ي عت آ ا و اخذتها مأو ى و ر الدن عت هي قد ق و واب رجو آيف و واب رجو ا هي ه و ؤمن آيف ه و ؤمن ا هي

آون الظامينيها ر

O Musaas

! How can a creature humble itself to Meazwj

without being aware of Myazwj

Mercy, and how can one recognise Myazwj Mercy without having observed it; andhow can one (ever) observe it without having faith in it, and how can one believe in itwithout having any hope of being blessed from it; and how can one hope for beingBlessed while being satisfied with the world, having taken refuge in it and relying onthe support of the unjust ones.

ه ه اخير افس في ونا موسى كل مف رشلا عد و همساآ اخير ن ف

O Musaas

! Compete for the good with the people of goodness because the good islike its name, and leave the evil for those who are fascinated by it.

ا اك من ور س هاا موسى اجعل اا موعد اخط ن ندم ف اا ف اخط ع ا م و غ اليل و الهار آري ر ذ آ م و س ك قالار

8 out of 62

O Musa

as

! Keep your

as

tongue behind your

as

heart and you

as

will be safe, andRemember Meazwj

abundantly during the night and the day and you will gain, and do

8/14/2019 al-Kafi, v. 8, pt. 2



not follow the sins (errors) but youas will regret, for the sins are scheduled for theFire.

غ هم و اخذ يس هم ج آن لذوب و هل الرك ام اك طب جدون معكا موسى و جد معهم خوان ك ي

O Musaas! Speak good to the people who have left the sins and be in their company,and take them as your

as brother in your

as absence, and strive along with them and let

them strive with youas

.

قينا موس ا ى زود وارد ع ى ما هو ع زود زاد من اة ف ا مح يك أ اموت ى

O Musaas

! The death will inevitably come to youas

. So make provision of suchprovisions like the one who is certain that it would last him till (he reaches) hisdestination.

وم ي مامك فانظر هو امك اذي ح ص ن يره و آ يل ه غيري فق ريد يه و ما ير ق ه وجهي فك ريد ك موقا موسى ما اجواب ف ه دع يه قصير و قصيره طويل وهو ف ن الدهر طو ه ف ه ك من الدهر و ول و خذ موعظ وف و مسن مآل شي اة ف ا مح اآخرة ك في طمع كون كي ك واب عم رى ك آ آما وى منها و فان فاعمل ا قي من الدن ا

ون امبط خسر اك وم السؤال فه وز غد عك ا ابن عمران فسك اد ال فكن مر صيرة و م ى عمل ع آل عامل

O Musaas

! What youas

intend with by for Myazwj

Face ‘يهجو’ (My Walias

), even a little(submission) is a lot, and what you

as intend with by for other than Me

azwj, even a lot

(of effort to please him) is little (worthless). And reform your as

days which are in frontof youas, and to realize the day in front of you and prepare to benefit from it, as foryou

as will be Paused and Questioned. Take your

as lesson from the (past) era and its

people, for the span of the era is short, but its shortness can be availed (to earn

rewards), since everything is destined for destruction. So act as if youas can see theReward for your as deeds in order for it to be an inevitable greed for youas regardingthe Hereafter, for whatever is remaining from the world is like what has passed fromit, and every worker strives upon visions and examples. So return to yourself

as, O

sonas of Imranas, perhaps youas will succeed tomorrow on the Day of Questioning, forthat is where the wrong doers will lose out.

آفعل يد ين يك ذا آ ق اقادرينا موسى آرم ا ك رحمت و ت ذ ذا فع ك ى سده ف صرخ امس اعبد

O Musaas

! Throw out your as

hand in front of Meazwj

like the act of the slave calling outto his master, for if youas were to do that, youas will be the recipient of Mercy for Iazwj am the Most Generous of the Powerful ones.

لك ك فيما عندي آيف رغ ي س حد غيري و انظر حين كهما م ا دي هما ي ف ي و رحم ي من فض ا موسى سما سعع ور اك جزى ا و قد امل جز

O Musaas

! Ask Meazwj

from Myazwj

Grace, and Myazwj

Mercy, for these two are inMyazwj Hands, none other is their owner, and look when youas ask Meazwj how your as wish is with what is in My

azwj Possession. For every worker is a Recompense, and

the disbeliever will be Recompensed with what he strives for.

8/14/2019 al-Kafi, v. 8, pt. 2



O Musaas! Do not concern yourself as with the world and seclude from it, for it is notfor you

as, and you

as are not its owner, and it is a house for the unjust ones. However,

the one who does good deeds in it, it is a good house for him.

ا ها في ساعات اليل و الهار و ظ ى صدرك و اق الوراة ع خذ حق راه فاص ه فاسمع و مهما جا موسى ما آمرك ا من صدرك ف ا الدن ب آر الطيرمكن آو آر وه و ع

O Musaas! What Iazwj have Commanded youas to, so listen and keep quiet atwhatever you

as see. Take the realities of the Torah to your

as chest, and keep vigil by

it in the hours of the night and the day, and do not let the sons of the world to makeyour as chest to be a nest like the nest of the birds.

نظر اآخرة فهو ه ت امؤمن من ز هو فيه و ه ما عض فكل مزن عضهم ن ها ف ه ا و ا الدن ب يها ماا موسى مسي حزين و يب آ لظ ه ا ى غ آفعل الراآب الساق اسحار جته د اعيش ف ذة ين ه و ي ها ات شهو ر قد ح ف

O Musaas

! The sons of the world and its people are a trial for some of them to theothers. So each one of them decorates what is regarding him, whereas the Believeris the one for whom the Hereafter is decorated. So he looks at it unabated, and itspleasures become a barrier for him in between him and the pleasures of life. So heidealises by the dawn like the act of the passenger driven by it to its destination,remaining bleak and sad in the evening. So good news would be for him, and thecurtain is Lifted, what he will see would delight his eyes.

م عسة بق و م عقة واب معاده اع من اويل الطويل قمة من فاجر ف ا مؤمن و واب يست طفة ا ا موسى الدنمري رشاد لآ ك و مر آما ك فكن آذ دم و

O Musaas! The world is a seed. It is not of any benefit for the Believer, nor is it apenalty for the one who is sinful. So, a lengthy woe is for the one who sells theReward of his return for a morsel, which does not remain and a sip, which does notcontinue. So be as Iazwj have Commanded youas to be, and every Command ofMineazwj is Guidance.

كن ا شعار الصاحين و ل مرحب افقر مق ا ف يت ذا ر ه و و ي ع ل ذنب عجت ى مق ا ف اغ يت ذا ر ا موسى ين لظامين قر كن ا و وم ظ جار

O Musaas! When youas see the richness coming to youas, so say: ‘It is a sin which ishastening the punishment for meas’. And when youas see the poverty coming toyouas, so say: ‘Welcome to the sign of the righteous ones’. And do not become anunjust tyrant, and do not join up with the unjust ones.

ه ذا حمدت مغ ذم آخره و ما ضرك ما زوي عنك ن طال ا موسى ما عمر و

O Musaas! What is a lifetime and it is lengthy and its end is condemnable. And whatgoes away from you

as does not adversely affect you

as if you

as were to praise its

result.

O Musaas! The Book has Screamed out to youas a loud Scream with what youas areheaded for. So how can the eyes fall asleep upon this, or how can the people findpleasure in the life. Had it not been for the deliberately being oblivious, and thefollowing of the misfortune and the following of the lustful desires, and from other

than this, that the righteous are in grief.

O Musaas

! Order Myazwj

in whatever situation theymay be in after having accepted that I

azwj am indeed the Most Merciful of the merciful

ones, the Answerer to the restless, and Remover of the evil, and the Changer of theeras, and the Giver of comfort, Thankful for a little, and Rewarding a great deal, and

Enricher of the poor, and Iazwj

am the Eternally Mighty and Powerful. So the one whocomes to youas and joined up with youas from the sinful ones, so say: ‘Welcome tothe courtyard of the Lord

azwj of the Worlds’, and seek Forgiven for them, and be kind

to them like one of other, and do not dominate them by what Iazwj

have Given to youas

of the preference over them, and tell them to ask from Me

azwj from (and) My

azwj

Grace, and Myazwj

Mercy, for no one else is the owner of these, and Iazwj

am of theGreat Grace , Good to you.

O Musaas

have Commanded youas

to be. Be obedient to Myazwj

Command and do notdominate over My

Meazwj

, for Iazwj

am very near to youas

, for Iazwj

will never Ask youas

what injures youas

by its weight nor to carry it (burden). But rather, Iazwj Ask youas that youas shouldsupplicate to Me

azwj so I

azwj will Answer you

as, and that Ask from Me

azwj so I

azwj shall

Give it to youas, and that to come near to Meazwj by what youas have taken fromMeazwj of its interpretation, and to Meazwj is the completion of its Revelation.

O Musaas! Look towards the earth, for very soon it shall be your as grave, and raiseyour

as eyes towards the sky for it is above you

as and in it are great Angels, and weep

upon yourself as

O Musa

as

! The good deeds are Rewarded tenfold but there is single punishment fora sin even one is so severe. Do not Associate (anyone) with Meazwj

, it is notPermissible for you that youas should Associate with Meazwj. Come nearer and besteadfast, and supplicate like the supplication of the greedy one greedy for what is inMy

azwj Possession, and regretful over what he has sent by what his hands (had

earned) before. Just as the blackness of the night obliterates the day, and similarlythe sins obliterate the good deeds, and the darkness of the night comes over thewhiteness of the day, and similarly the sins come over the outstanding sins andblacken them (further)’.

Bin Yazi’e, from his uncle Hamza Bin Yazi’e and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Ashary, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Yazeed Bin Abdullah, from the one who narrated to himsaid:

‘Abu Ja’far asws

wrote to Sa’ad Al-Khayr: -

ن اله عز و ب امنق يمة في اغ الف و ن فيها السامة من قوى اله ف وصيك ي عد ف ما سم اله الرحمن الرحيم ه و اعبد ما عزب عنه عق القوى عن قي لجة ي وح و من معه في السف جا القوى ه و القوى عنه عماه و جه ي ج

In the Name of Allahazwj

, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, Iasws

herebybequeath to you to fear Allahazwj for therein is safety from destruction and a gainduring the returning (to Allah

azwj). Allah

azwj Mighty and Majestic Protects the servant

by means of his piety from whatever his intellect was remote from; and by means ofpiety he gets clarity from his blindness and his ignorance. And it was by piety that

Noahas got salvation and those who were with himas in the ark got safety from thestorm.

ذوا ية افض ك مسون ك الطريقة ى خوان ع هم اك و امه اعصب من ك جت القوى فاز الصارون و و ا اب من اك في غهم ما الشهوات يراد ا من هم ا و ذمواطغ احمد هل هو و رزقهم ى ما ع رهم ات حمدوا م

And it was by piety that the patient ones succeeded and survived from thecalamities, and they have brethren upon that path seeking those preferences, havingrenounced their insolence and their intentions by the desires when the examples

from the Book reached them. They praised their Lordazwj on what Heazwj hasSustained them with and that He

azwj was the One

azwj Deserving of the Praise, and

they blamed their own selves upon what they had wasted and that they themselveswere deserving of the condemnation.

And they knew that Allahazwj

Blessed and High, is the Forbearing, theKnowledgeable, however, He

azwj is Angry on the one who does not care about His

azwj

Pleasure and (as a result) Heazwj Withholds from the one who does not accept Hisazwj Favours, and but rather the one does not accept guidance from Himazwj goes astray.

Then it is possible for the sinful people to turn to the repentance and change to the

doing of good deeds. He

azwj

has Called His

azwj

servants in the Book to that with aLoud Voice. Heazwj

Never Cut-off nor Prevented the calling of Hisazwj

servants. So Allahazwj has Cursed the ones who conceal what Allahazwj has Revealed, andObligated upon Himself

azwj, the Mercy to be before the Wrath. So He

azwj Completed

the Truth and the Mercy, so there is no beginning for the servant with the Wrathbefore he arouses His

azwj Anger, and that is from the knowledge of certainty and the

knowledge of piety. And every community from whom Allahazwj has Raised theKnowledge from them (Taken away), the Knowledge of the Book is when theyrejected it, and befriended His

azwj enemies when they made them to be the rulers.

اة و لرو هم حفظهم عج اجهال ه و رعو ا وه و رو قاموا حروفه و حرفوا حدوده فهم ن اب اك هم بذ آان من و

هم حز ا م اةاع لرع آهم ر

And from their rejection of the Book was that they established its letters and distortedits Limits. So they were narrating it but were not acting upon it. And the ignorantones were pleased with the preservation of the narrations, whereas the scholarsbecame aggrieved at their abandonment of the correct aspects of the narrations.

ى الردى و غروا عرى ال وهم صدر اهوى و وهم ورد مون ف ع ا ن ووه اذين اب اك هم بذ آان من م وروهو دين في السفه و الصا

And from their rejection of the Book was that they made such people as rulers who

did not know, so they took them (in a direction) of wherever their own desires ledthem, and released them to the death (ruination). They amended the ties of theReligion, and then they left it as a legacy among the foolish and the childish (people).

لظا ئس ردون ف يه اى و ع ع ارك و مر اله عد مر الاس صدرون عن مة ا اة الهف عد و اة الاس د ا و مين عد رضا اله واب اله و رضا الاس عد واب الاس و

So the community was issued with the commands devised by the people instead ofthe Commands of Allah

azwj Blessed and High, and it is to them that they referred to.

So evil it was what the unjust took in exchange, the governance of the peopleinstead of the Governance of Allah

So this is how the community has become, and among them were those who strived(The Mujtahids) in the worship upon that misguidance. They (the people) werefascinated by them, and admired them, and their worship became a strife (Fitna) for

them as well as those who followed them, whereas in the Messengers

as

there was aReminder for the worshippers. Of these Prophetsas

was a Prophetas

who was

8/14/2019 al-Kafi, v. 8, pt. 2



complete in hisas worship, but then heas disobeyed Allahazwj Blessed and High in oneaspect, so he

as was exited from the Paradise, and he

as was thrown into the belly of

the whale. Then heas was not rescued until heas recognised (Al-Wilayah2) andrepented.

So understand that there are similar ones to ‘ Al-Ahbaar and Al-Rahbaan’ who goaround concealing the Book, and alter it. So their business did not give them anygain and they were not of the guided ones. Then understand those that are similar tothem in this community who establish the letters of the Book and alter its Limits. So

they are with the chiefs and the notables, and when they disperse there are guidedby the desires and they are with those who have a lot of the world (wealth), and thatis what has reached to them from the knowledge. They do not cease to be like that inthe copying (emulating) and the greed. The voice of Iblees

la does not cease to be

heard from their tongues with the falsehood, a great deal. The scholars observepatience from them from the harm that they

asws suffer and their bullying, whereas

they themselves blame the scholars for having burdened them. And the scholars inthemselves are disloyal for having concealed the advice when they see a lost andstrayed one with no guidance to him, or for not having revived a dead one.

نهوا ن ه و مروا ما امعروف و أمروا ن اب اك ياق في ام يهم خذ ع اى ع ارك و ن اله عون ص ئس ما فر و القوى و ا ى وا ع عاو ن هوا عنه و اعدوانعما ثم و ا ى وا ع عاو ا

So evil it is what they do because Allahazwj

Blessed and High has Taken a Covenantto them in the Book that they would enjoin the doing of good and by what Heazwj hasOrdered for, and forbid them from what He

azwj has Forbidden them from, and that

they would help each other upon the goodness, and the piety, and will not co-operate upon the sins and the animosity.

So the scholars are in a struggle in their efforts from the ignorant ones, that if theygive good advice, the people would say that they have transgressed. And if theycome to know the truth which they had avoided, they would say that they haveopposed. And if they quit they would say that they have separated, and they say,‘Give us your proof on what you are narrating’, they would say that they havebecome hypocrites, and if they obey them, they would say that Allah

azwj Mighty and

Majestic has been disobeyed.

So the ignorant ones are destroyed in what they do not know, unlettered in what theyrecite. They ratify the Book when it is defined and deny it in its altered state(Meaning they accept the present altered one and reject the original one which theyconsider to be the altered one), and so they are not deniers as such. They aresimilar to Al-Ahbaar and Al-Rahbaan, leaders in matters of desires and chiefs inmatters of ruination, and others from among them are seated in between themisguidance and the guidance, not understanding one community from the other.They are saying that the people do not know this, not will they return to what it usedto be.

And they are right. The Messenger saww of Allahazwj left them upon the clarity, its nightfrom its day. No innovations appeared among them, nor was the Sunnah changedamong them.

There was no opposition from them or differences among them. So what made thepeople to be covered in darkness of their errors (sins) is when two imams appeared,one

asws calling to Allah

azwj Blessed and High, and one calling to the Fire.

At that time Satanla spoke in a loud voice by the tongues of his

la friends and

numerous were his horsemen, and infantry, and he included them in the wealth andthe sons, the ones who associated with himla. So they acted by the innovations, andavoided the Book and the Sunnah, whereas the Guardians

asws of Allah

azwj spoke by

the Proof and took to the Book and the Wisdom.

So from that day on, the people of the truth separated from the people of thefalsehood. The people of guidance were abandoned and insulted, whilst the peopleof the misguidance helped each other until they became a group with so and so, andthe like of him. So, understand this type, and the other type and look at them by theeyes of the excellent ones, and be firm with them until you come to your family, forthe losers are the one who have lost themselves and their families on the Day ofJudgement. Indeed! That is the clear loss’.

‘In the Name of Allahazwj

, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, your lettercame to measws in which you have asked how much it is necessary to learn and theobedience to the one

asws whose pleasure is the Pleasure of Allah

azwj. So then you

had said to yourself, then you will not be blamed if you then avoid some other.

You are (also) amazed (by the fact) that the Pleasure of Allahazwj

, and obedience toHimazwj, and Hisazwj Advice is neither accepted, nor found, nor recognised except

within the servants who are unrecognised (unknown to public), who are alone (away)from the people.

The people have taken them in ridicule and they ascribe to them evil matters to theextent that it was said that one cannot be a Believer and is not a Believer until hebecomes more hated by the people than the carcass of a donkey. And if you sufferfrom the affliction similar to what we

asws have suffered, so do not consider the strife

of the people (against you) like a Punishment of Allahazwj

seek Refuge with Allah

azwj as well as for you all from that, to Bring near your destination which though

is a far distance.

H 14469 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Usman, from

Sulaym Bin Qays Al-Hilaly who said:

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws

preached, so heasws

Praised Allahazwj

and Extolled Himazwj

,then sent greetings of peace ‘Salam’ upon the Prophet

saww, then said: ‘Indeed! From

the fears what Iasws

fear for you are two categories – following of desires and long

hopes. As for the following of desires, so it will sway you away from the truth, and asfor the long hopes, so they will make you forget the Hereafter.

ا ب ووا من ك ا اآخرة و ا ب ووا من ون فك كل واحدة ة و رحت مق اآخرة قد ن رة و رحت مد ا قد ن الدن ا ن ا حساب و وم عمل و ا ن ا ف افالدن خ دع ب حكام ع و ا هو ن من اف وقوع د ما ا عمل و حساب و غدوى فيها رجال رجا ا فيها حكم اله

Indeed! The world has moved backwards (away from you) and that the Hereafter hasmoved forward (towards you), and for each of these are sons. So become from thesons of the Hereafter and do not become from the sons of the world, for today is theday of the deeds and there is no Reckoning, but tomorrow is the (day of) Reckoning

and no (room to perform) deeds.

However, the commencement of the strife ‘Fitna’ occurs from the following ofdesires, and (the man made) rules are followed in opposition to the Commands of Allah

azwj, so that a man would rule over a man (using these rules).

هذا هذا ضغث و من ؤخذ من كه ى ذي حجى خف ع م ص اطل خ ا ن و اف و كن اخ م ص و خ قحا ن ا و ى ي الشيطان ع و س اك فه ان مع ج مزجان ف احسضغث ف هم من اله قت جا اذين س اه و

Indeed! Surely the truth, had it been pure, there would have been no differing, andhad the falsehood been pure, there would have been no fear about the one with the

proof, but they take a fistful from this and a fistful from this, so they are mixedtogether. So that is where the Satan

la rules over his

la friends, and the ones for whom

goodness has preceded from Allahazwj

escape from this.

Then the affliction wouldintensify, and the offspring would become captivated and the ‘Fitna’ (strife) wouldconsume them just as the fire consumes the firewood, or just as the millstone grindsupon its lower base. And they would learn the Laws for the sake of other than

Truth as well as falsehood, for each of them are its people. The matter of falsehoodis a very old one and has been active. And if the truth is less (in practice) it isbecause of ‘if’ and ‘maybe’. And it is rare that if a thing gone away comes back, andif your command (Caliphate) returns to you, you would be pleased, and it is not onme

Two men preceded measws

So Amir-ul-Momineenasws

wrote to him: ‘Thereafter, that which is in your hand fromthe wealth, there used to be an owner for it before you, and it will get transferred toits (next) owner after you, but what is for you from it is what you pave the way foryourself (for the Hereafter). So prefer yourself over the correction of your children, for

what you have gathered is for one of the two men - for a man who works in it by theobedience to Allahazwj so he is fortunate with what he receives from you, and as for aman who works in it by the disobedience to Allah

azwj so he is unfortunate by what you

have gathered for him, and there is none from these two who is deserving of beingpreferred over yourself, and do not place a burden upon your back. So be hopeful ofthe Mercy of Allah

‘Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws used to advise the people and to make them to be ascetic inthis world and incline them towards the deeds for the Hereafter by this speech inevery Friday in the Masjid of the Messenger saww of Allahazwj which was preserved andwritten down.

O son of Adamas

, your death is the quickest thing coming towards you seeking you inan aggressive manner. It would be around you when your time elapses and the Angel would capture your soul and take you to your grave alone. It would then returnyour soul back to you in it, and two Angels would storm into it, Naakir and Nakeer toquestion you and test you severely.

will Provide your argument for you, and make your tongue tospeak correctly and give good answers, and you will receive the news of thehappiness and the Paradise from Allah

welcome you with joyful spirits and aromatic fragrance. If you do not become like

that, your tongue will waver, and your argument will fail, and you will be unable toanswer, and you will receive news of the Fire, and the Angels of Punishment willdrag you into the Hell and its intense heat.

And know, O son of Adamas that what is coming behind you on the Day of

Judgement is greater and more shocking and painful for the heart. That is the Day inwhich all people would be Gathered and that is the Day of Witnessing. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Gather in it the former ones and the later ones. That is theDay in which the Trumpet would be Blown and the graves would be scattered. Andthat is the Day of tremors and the hearts would come up to the throat and thestumbling would not be reduced, and no ransom would be taken from anyone, andno excuses would be acceptable from anyone, and no repentance would be Accepted from anyone.

There is nothing except for the Recompense for the good deeds and theRecompense for the evil deeds. So the one who was from the Believers having donea good deed in this world the weight of an atom would find it, and the one was fromthe Believers having done an evil deed in this world the weight of an atom would findit too.

You must get your hearts to feel the fear of Allahazwj

, just as you fear the harsh Punishment, for the one who fears somethingwould be cautious of it, and the one who is cautious of something would avoid it. Anddo not become of the oblivious ones, the ones inclined towards the flowers of the

world of those who devise evil, for Allahazwj

Said in Hisazwj

Decisive Book: “ [16:45]Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this) that Allah wi ll not causethe earth to swallow them or that punishment may not overtake them fromwhence they do not perceive? [16:46] Or that He may not seize them in thecourse of their journeys, then shall they not escape; [16:47] Or that He may notseize them by causing them to suffer gradual loss”

So be cautious of what Allahazwj has Cautioned you with what Heazwj has Done withthe unjust ones in His

for the unjust people in the Book. By Allahazwj

, Allahazwj

has Advised you all in Hisazwj

Book by way of other people. So, happy is the one who takes a lesson from theadvice given to others.

Allahazwj has Made you hear in Hisazwj Book what Heazwj has Done with the unjustpeople of the town before you where He

azwj said: “[21:11] And how many a town

which was iniquitous did We demolish” , but rather what is Meant by the ‘town’ isits inhabitants, where He

azwj Said: “ [21:11] and We raised up after it another

people!” . Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “ [21:12] Yet, when they felt OurPunishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. [21:13] Flee not, butreturn to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homesin order that ye may be called to account.” So when the Punishment Came uponthem, they said “ [21:14] They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust [21:15] And that cry of theirs ceased not, ti ll We made them as a f ield that is mown, asashes silent and quenched” .

And the most intelligent one of the intelligent ones is the one who ispious, and the most stupid of the stupid ones is the immoral. The most evil of thereport is the report of the lies (false report), and the most evil of the matters is theinnovations. And the blindness of all blindness is the blindness of the heart, and theworst regret is the regret on the Day of Judgement.

And the greatest of the sins in the Presence of Allahazwj

is the lying tongue, and themost evil of the gains is the gain of the interest. And the most evil of the consumption

is the consumption of the wealth of the orphans. The best of the decors of the decorsof the man is good guidance along with faith, and the controlling of his affairs by itand strengthening them.

The one who seeks fame (show-off), Allahazwj

makes him to be named as a liar, andthe one who loves the world will be frustrated from it. And the one who recognisesthe affliction would be patient against it, and the one who does not recognised it will

be tortured (during it). And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allahazwj Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satanla disobeys Allahazwj,and the one who disobeys Allah

azwj is Punished by Allah

azwj. The one who is thankful,

Allahazwj Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allahazwj.The one who places reliance upon Allahazwj, Allahazwj suffices for him.

H 14489 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from

Ma’rouf Bin Kharabouz, from Al-Hakam Bin Mustawrid, who has said:

Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws

said: ‘From among the sustenance are those which Allahazwj

has Measured out for the people from what their needs are to Him

azwj. The sea

(atmosphere) is the one which Allahazwj

Mighty and Majestic has Created to be

between the sky and the earth’.

اقمر و ن اله قد قدر فيها مجاري الشمس و وقال و ك ك م اف آل م و ك اف ى آه ع ك اآب و قدر ذ اكو الجوم و اآب معه ف اكو اقمر و الجوم و داروه دارت الشمس و ذا ك ف اف ديرون ك فهم ف م هامعه سبعون از ت في م ز

ها ي ومها و ها اله عز و جل فيها اي قدر

Heasws

said: ‘And Allahazwj

has Determined in these the flow of the sun and the moon,and the stars, and the planets, and has Determined all of that upon the orbit. Thenfor every orbit is an Angel with whom there are seventy thousand Angels. So theyturn the circle of the orbit. So it is upon their turning that the sun, and the moon, andthe stars, and the planets turn along with them. So they descend in their station

which Allahazwj

Mighty and Majestic has Determined for them. Therein are their daysand their nights.

ا ك ام مر اه آ آة من هم ع س ن اى ع ارك و راد اله اد و اع وب رت ذ آ ذا ك اذيف اف زيل ن ك اف آل مويوه عن مجاريه ز ن ك ف م وك السبعين ك ام أمر اآب ف اكو اقمر و الجوم و يه مجاري الشمس و ع

So when the sins of the servants become numerous and Allahazwj

Blessed and HighIntends to Reproach them with a Sign from His

azwj Signs, He

azwj Orders the Angel in

charge of the orbit to remove the orbit upon which the sun and the moon, and thestars, and the planets flow upon. So that Angel orders the seventy thousand Angels(which are under him) to remove these from their flows’.

لا دار ذا ها ف و غر ها و طمس ضوؤ ك قال ف اف جري في حر اذي ا ك صير الشمس في ذ يوه ف ز ه عز وقال فك عند انكساف الشمس آة قال و ذ ا قه خوف خ ن حب اله ى ما حر ع ا آة طمست الشمس في ا عظم ن لج

Heasws

said: ‘So they remove it and the sun becomes in that sea (atmosphere) inwhich flows in the orbit’. Heasws said: ‘So its light gets obliterated and its colourchanges. So if Allah

azwj Mighty and Majestic Intends to maximise the Sign, He

azwj

Obliterates the sun in the sea (atmosphere) upon what Allahazwj

Loves that Hisazwj

creatures should fear Hisazwj Signs’. Heasws said: ‘And that is during the eclipse of thesun’.

Heasws said: ‘And that is similar to what Heazwj Does with the moon’. Heasws said: ‘So if Allah

azwj Intends to End it or Return it back to normal, He

azwj Orders the Angel in

charge of the orbit that he should return the orbit back to its normality. So he returnsthe orbit and the sun goes back to its normality’. He

asws said: ‘So he takes it out from

the water (fluid) and it is brownish (dim)’. He

asws

said: ‘And the (matter of) the moonis similar to that’.

احسين ي بن م قال ع ا(عليه السالم(قال اين ه هب ر ا هما و فزع ا ه آانما ذا ا ف آان من شيع ا من ين يه م ارجعوا لج و زع هلا ى ك فافزعوا .آذ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Aliasws

Bin Al-Husaynasws

said: ‘But rather, no one isscared of these two nor is anyone intimidated by these two Signs except the onewho was from our

asws Shiites. So if (these Signs) have happened, so be scared to

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, then return (Repent) to Himazwj’.

azwj Blessed and High has Made for every family a proof by which

Heazwj will Argue by against his (faithless) family on the Day of Judgement.

So Heazwj

will Say to them: “Did you not see so and so among you? Did you not seehis guidance among you? Did you not see his Prayers among you? Did you not seehis Religion? Did you not follow it? So he will become a proof against them on theDay of Judgement’.

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘The man from among you lives in theneighbourhood. So Allah

asws said: ‘These were low flying birds

which came upon them from the sea front. Their heads were like the heads ofpredatory birds, and their claws were like the claws of predatory birds. Along witheach of the birds were three stones. In their legs were two stones and in their beaks

was one stone each. So they went on to pelt them by these until their bodies becameblistered with smallpox. So they killed them by it and there was not seen before thatanything from the smallpox, nor were such birds seen before that day, nor after it’.
