Ibn Mahboub, from Al Sumaly, from Abu Is’haq who said,

‘Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws shall narrate to you all with a Hadeeth which is rightful upon every Momin
that he retains it’. So, he-asws narrated to us in the morning and we forgot it in the evening.
We returned to him-asws, and we said to him-asws, ‘The Hadeeth which you-asws narrated with in
the morning, we forgot it, and you-asws said it is rightful upon every Momin that he retains it’.

‫ وقد أجله يف‬،‫ إنه ما من مسلم يذنب ذنبا فيعفو هللا عنه يف الدنيا إال كان أجل وأكرم من أن يعود عليه بعقوبة يف اآلخرة‬:‫فقال‬
.‫ " وما أصابكم من مصيبة فبما كسبت أيديكم ويعفو عن كثري‬:‫ وتال هذه اآلية‬،‫الدنيا‬

So he-asws repeated it upon us, and he-asws said: ‘It is – there is none from a Muslim who
commits a sin, so Allah-azwj Forgives him in the world, except that He-azwj is more Majestic and
more Benevolent that for Him-azwj to Repeat the Punishment upon him in the Hereafter, and
He-azwj has already Done it in the world’. And he-asws recited this Verse: And whatever difficulty
afflicts you it is regarding what your hands have earned, and He Pardons a lot [42:30]’’.7

Ibn Makhlad, from Al Razaz, from Muhammad Bin Al Haysam al Qazy, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Abbas,
from his father, from Samsam Bin Zara’at, from Shareeh Bin Ubeyd who said,

‘Jubeyr Bin Nufeyr was narrating that men asked Al-Nawas Bin Sam’an saying, ‘What is a new
thing you heard from Rasool-Allah-azwj?’ Al-Nawas said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘One
who dies and he had not associated anything with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, then His-azwj
Forgiveness would be released to him, if He-azwj so Desires He-azwj would Forgive him’. Nawas
said at that, ‘I hope that no one dies (and) Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Releases the
Forgiveness for him, except He-azwj Does Forgive him’’.8

My father, from Sa’ad, from Al Barqy, from Muhammad Bin Bakr, from Zakariya Bin Muhammad, from
Muhammad Bin Abdul Aziz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj
Majesty Said: “One who commits a sin and he knows that for Me-azwj is that I-azwj Punish him,
and that for Me-azwj is that I-azwj Pardon him, I-azwj will Pardon him”’.9

‫ قال أبو جعفر عليه‬:‫ عن الثمايل قال‬،‫ وكان من الزيدية‬،‫ روزبه‬:‫ عن رجل يقال له‬،‫ عن حنان بن سدير‬،‫ بعض أصحابنا‬:‫ ين‬- 10

.‫ فعل كذا وكذا‬:‫يقول للناس‬

One of our companions, from Hanan Bin Sudeyr, from a man called Rowzabih, and he was from the Zaydiites,
from Al Sumaly who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘There is none from a servant who does a deed Allah-azwj is not Pleased
with except Allah-azwj Veils upon him at first. So, when he does it for a second time, Allah -azwj
Veils. Then, when he does it for a third time, Allah-azwj Sends down an Angel in the image of a
human being saying to the people, ‘He did such and such’’.10

‫ " وآتيكم من‬:‫ مسعته يقرأ هذ اآلية‬:‫ عنه عليه السالم قال‬- ‫ شيخ من أصحاب أيب جعفر‬- ‫ عن حسني بن هارون‬:‫ شى‬- 11
.‫ الثوب والشئ مل تسأله إايه أعطاك‬:‫ مث قال أبو جعفر عليه السالم‬:‫كل ما سألتموه " قال‬

From Husayn Bin Haroun,

‘A sheykh from the companions of Abu Ja’far-asws, from him-asws, he said, ‘I heard him-asws
reciting this Verse: And He Gives you from all that you ask Him for, [14:34]. Then Abu Ja’far-
asws said: ‘The clothes and the thing you did not ask Him-azwj for, He-azwj Gives it to you’’ (without

you asking for these).11

‫ " وهللا‬:‫ حىت يقول أهل الشرك‬،‫ إن هللا ليعفو يوم القيامة عفوا حييط على العباد‬:‫ مسعت أاب حممد يقول‬:‫ قال أبو هاشم‬:‫ يج‬- 12
" :‫ أن رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله قرأ‬:‫ربنا ما كنا مشركني " فذكرت يف نفسي حديثا حدثين به رجل من أصحابنا من أهل مكة‬
‫ " إن هللا‬:‫ ومن أشرك ؟ فأنكرت ذلك وتنمرت للرجل فأان أقول يف نفسي إذ أقبل علي فقال‬:‫إن هللا يغفر الذنوب " فقال الرجل‬
.! ‫ وبئسما روى‬،‫ال يغفر أن يشرك به ويغفر ما دون ذلك ملن يشاء " بئسما قال هذا‬

Abu Hashim said, ‘I heard Abu Muhammad saying, ‘Allah-azwj would Forgive on the Day of
Judgment with a Forgiveness encompassing upon the servants to the extent that the
Polytheists would be saying, ‘By Allah, our Lord! We were not associators’ [6:23]’. So, I
remembered within myself a Hadeeth which a man from our companions from the people of
Makkah had narrated to me that Rasool-Allah-saww recited: surely Allah Forgives the sins
[39:53], so the man said, ‘And the ones who associate?’ But he-saww denied that was enraged
to the man. I said within myself when he turned to me and said, ‘Surely Allah does not Forgive

to [4:116]. Evil is what this one said, and evil is what he reported!’’.12 (P.s. – this is not a
Hadeeth)

From Abu Ma’mar Al Sa’ady who said,

‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said regarding His-azwj Words: Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight
Path [11:56]: ‘It means He-azwj is upon Right. He-azwj Recompenses good with the good, and
evil with the evil. He-azwj Pardons the one He-azwj so Desires and Forgives. He-azwj is Glorious
and Exalted’’.13

(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy, by his chain,

‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-
saww said: ‘I-azwj am Embarrassed from My-azwj servants and My-azwj community growing old in

Al-Islam, then I-azwj Punish them’’.14

(The book) ‘Da’wat’ of Al-Rawandy, ‘It is reported that in the Throne there is a resemblance
of every servant. When the servant is pre-occupied with the worship, His-azwj Angels see his
resemblance (mirror image), and when the servant is pre-occupied with the (act of)
disobedience, Allah-azwj Commands some of His-azwj Angels until they veil, lest the Angels see
it. That is the meaning of his-saww words: ‘O One-azwj Who Manifest the beauty and Veils the
ugliness’’.15 (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

‫ " وأقسموا ابهلل جهد أمياهنم ال يبعث هللا من ميوت " أفرتاك جيمع بني أهل‬:‫ مسعت هللا يقول‬:‫ وقال الصادق عليه السالم‬- 16

‫فأما قول الصادق عليه السالم ليست له توبة فإنه عىن من قتل نبيا أو وصيا فليست له توبة النه ال يقاد أحد ابالنبياء وابالوصياء‬
‫ وقاتلهما‬،‫ وغري النيب والوصي ال يكون مثل النيب والوصي فيقاد به‬،‫ واالنبياء واالوصياء ال يقتل بعضهم بعضا‬،‫إال االوصياء واالنبياء‬
.‫ال يوفق ابلتوبة‬

As for the words of Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘There isn’t any repentance for him’, he-asws means the one
who kills a Prophet-as or a successor-as, then there wouldn’t be any repentance for him
because no one can be retaliated with the Prophets-as, and with the succesors-as, except the
susscesors-asws and the Prophets-as, and the Prophets-as and the succesors-as do not kill each
other, and other than the Prophet-as and the successor-as cannot happen to be like the
successor-as to be retaliated with, and their-as killer cannot be appropriate with the
repentance’’.41

Ibn Abdous, from Ibn Quteyba, from Hamdan Bin Suleyman, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Hamdany who
said,

‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘For which reason did Allah-azwj Drown Pharaoh-la and he-la had believe in
Him-azwj and acknowledged with His-azwj Tawheed?’

He-asws said: ‘Because he-la believe when he-la saw the Punishment, and the Eman during seeing
the Punishment is not Accepted, and that is the Decision of Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj
Mention regarding the predecessors and the descendants.

:‫ " فلما رأوا أبسنا قالوا آمنا ابهلل وحده وكفران مبا كنا به مشركني فلم يك ينفعهم إمياهنم ملا رأوا أبسنا " وقال عزوجل‬:‫قال هللا عزوجل‬
" ‫" يوم أييت بعض آايت ربك ال ينفع نفسا إمياهنا مل تكن آمنت من قبل أو كسبت يف إمياهنا خريا‬

Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘But when they saw Our Punishment, they said, ‘We
believe in Allah alone and we deny what we had been associating with Him’ [40:84] But
their Eman wasn’t going to benefit them when they saw Our Punishment. [40:85]. And the
Mighty and Majestic Said: The day some of the Signs of your Lord do come, a soul will not
benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before, or earned goodness during its
Eman. [6:158].

‫ " اآلن وقد‬:‫ " آمنت أنه ال إله إال الذي آمنت به بنو إسرائيل وأان من املسلمني " فقيل له‬:‫وهكذا فرعون ملا أدركه الغرق قال‬

And like that is Pharaoh-la when he-la realised the drowning, he said, ‘I believe that there is no
god except the One in Whom the Children of Israel believe in, and I am from the submitters’
[10:90]. So, it was Said to him-la: Now! And you had disobeyed before and you were from the
corrupters! [10:91]’’.42

There is a youth at the door, fresh of body, pure of colour, handsome of the face, crying upon
his youth like the wailing of the bereaved mother upon her child, wanting to enter to see you-
saww’. The Prophet-saww said: ‘Bring the youth to me-saww, O Muaz’.

So, he came over and greeted, and he-saww returned the greetings, then said: ‘What makes
you cry, O youth?’ He said, ‘How can I not cry and I have indulged in such sins, that even if
Allah-azwj were to Seize me with some of these, He-azwj would Enter me into the Fire of Hell?
And I don’t see except that He-azwj will Seize me with these and will not Forgive for me, ever!’

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Have you associated anything with Allah-azwj?’ He said, ‘I seek Refuge
that I would associate anything with my Lord-azwj’. He-saww said: ‘Have you killed the soul which
Allah-azwj Prohibited?’ He said, ‘No’. So, the Prophet-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj would Forgive your
sins for you, and even if these were like the talk mountains’. The youth said, ‘But these are
greater than the tall mountains’.

،‫ يغفر هللا لك ذنوبك وإن كانت مثل االرضني السبع وحبارها ورماهلا وأشجارها وما فيها من اخللق‬:‫فقال النيب صلى هللا عليه واله‬
! ‫ فإهنا أعظم من االرضني السبع وحبارها ورماهلا وأشجارها وما فيها من اخللق‬:‫قال‬

The Prophet-saww would Forgive your sins for you and even if these were like the seven earths,
and its oceans, and its deserts, and its trees, and whatever is therein form the creatures’. He
said, ‘But these are greater than the seven earths, and its oceans, and its deserts, and its trees,
and whatever is therein from the creatures!’

‫ فإهنا أعظم‬:‫ قال‬،‫ يغفر هللا لك ذنوبك وإن كانت مثل السماوات وجنومها ومثل العرش والكرسي‬:‫فقال النيب صلى هللا عليه واله‬

The Prophet-saww said, ‘Allah-azwj would Forgive your sins for you, and even if these were like
the skies, and its stars, and like the Throne and the Chair’. He said, ‘But these are greater than
that’.

‫ وحيك اي شاب ذنوبك أعظم أم ربك ؟ فخر الشاب لوجهه وهو‬:‫ فنظر النيب صلى هللا عليه واله إليه كهيئة الغضبان مث قال‬:‫قال‬

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, the Prophet-saww looked at him as if he-saww was angry, then said:
‘Woe be unto you, O youth! Are you sins greater or your Lord-azwj?’ The youth fell down on his
face and he was saying, ‘Glorious is my Lord-azwj! There is nothing greater than my Lord-azwj.
My Lord-azwj is greater, O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj, than every greatness’.

The Prophet-saww said: ‘Then, can anyone Forgive the great sins except the Great Lord -azwj?’
The youth said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’ Then the youth fell silent, so the
Prophet-saww said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, O youth! Will you not inform me-saww with (even)
one sin from your sins?’

‫ فماتت جارية من بعض بنات االنصار فلما‬،‫ وأنزع االكفان‬،‫ أخرج االموات‬،‫ إين كنت أنبش القبور سبع سنني‬:‫ بلى اخربك‬:‫قال‬

‫ ومضيت منصرفا‬،‫وتركتها متجردة على شفري قربها‬

He said, ‘Yes, I will inform you-saww. I was the grave exhumer (robber) for seven years. I would
extract the deceased and remove the shrouds. Then, a girl from one of the daughters of the
Helpers died. So, when she was carried to her grave and buried, and her family left from her,
and the night shielded upon the (graveyard), I came to her grave and exhumed her. Then I
brought her out and removed whatever was upon her from her shroud and left her bare upon
the edge of her grace, and went away.

‫ ومل‬،‫ أما ترى بطنها وبياضها ؟ أما ترى وركيها ؟ فلم يزل يقول يل هذا حىت رجعت إليها‬:‫ ويقول‬،‫فأاتين الشيطان فأقبل يزينها يل‬

The Satan-la came to me and went on to adorn her for me, and he-la was saying, ‘But, did you
see her belly and her whiteness? Did you not see above her thighs?’ He-la did not cease saying
this to me until I returned to her, and I could not control myself until I copulated with her and
left her in her place.

‫ ونزعتين‬،‫ يوم يقفين وإايك كما تركتين عراينة يف عساكر املوتى‬،‫ اي شاب ويل لك من داين يوم الدين‬:‫فإذا أان بصوت من ورائي يقول‬

Then there was a voice from behind me saying, ‘O youth! Doom is for you from the Judge on
the Day of Judgment, the Day I they would pause me and you just as you left me bare among
the army of the dead, and removed me from my grave and removed my shroud, and left me,
I shall stand with sexual impurity for my Reckoning. Therefore, doom from the Fire would be
for your youth!’

‫فما أظن أين أشم ريح اجلنة أبدا فما ترى يل ايرسول هللا ؟‬

Thus, I do not think I would (even) smell the aroma of the Paradise, ever! What do you -saww

The Prophet-saww said: ‘Stand back from me-saww, O immoral one! I-saww fear that I-saww mighty
be burnt with your fire. How close you are from the Fire’. Then he -saww did not cease saying
and referring to him until he moved away from being in front of him-saww.

He went away and came to Medina, bought some stuff from it, then came to one of its
mountains and worshipped therein, and wore a harsh cloth and tied both his hands to his
neck and called out, ‘O Lord-azwj! This is Your-azwj servant Bahloul, shackled in front of You-azwj.
O Lord-azwj! You-azwj are the One-azwj Who Knows me and can Remove from me what You-azwj
Know, my Master-azwj! O Lord-azwj! I have become from the regretful ones, and went to You-
azwj Prophet-saww, but he-saww repelled me and increased me in fear, therefore I ask You -azwj by

You-azwj Name, and Your-azwj Majesty, and Magnificence of Your-azwj Authority that You-azwj do
not dash my hopes, my Master-azwj! And do not invalidate my supplication, nor despair me
from Your-saww Mercy’.

‫ اللهم‬:‫ وقال‬،‫ فلما متت له أربعون يوما وليلة رفع يديه إىل السماء‬،‫ تبكي له السباع والوحوش‬،‫فلم يزل يقول ذلك أربعني يوما وليلة‬

.‫ وخلصين من فضيحة يوم القيامة‬،‫ أو عقوبة يف الدنيا هتلكين‬،‫وأردت عقوبيت فعجل بنار حترقين‬

He did not cease saying that for forty days and nights. The predators and the wild animals
cried for him. When forty days and nights were completed for him, he raised his hands to the
sky and said, ‘O Allah-azwj! What did You-azwj Do regarding my need? If You-azwj have Answered
my supplication and have Forgiven my sins, then Reveal unto Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and if You-
azwj did not Answer my supplication for me and did not Forgive my sins for me, and Want to

Punish me, then Hasten with the Fire to incinerate me, or a Punishment in the world to
destroy me, and finish me off from disgrace on the Day of Judgment’.

‫ " والذين إذا فعلوا فاحشة " يعين الزان " أو ظلموا أنفسهم " يعين ابرتكاب‬:‫فأنزل هللا تبارك وتعاىل على نبيه صلى هللا عليه واله‬

" ‫الذنوب إال هللا‬

So Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed unto His-azwj Prophet-saww: ‘And those when they
are committing an indecency – meaning the adultery, or doing injustice to their own selves,
- by indulging in a sin more grievous than the adultery, and exhuming the graves, and taking
the shrouds, are remembering Allah and asking Forgiveness for their sins – He-azwj is Saying

Page 35 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

that they are fearing Allah-azwj and are doing the repentance. - and who Forgives the sins
except Allah? [3:135].

‫ فأين يذهب ؟ وإىل من يقصد ؟ ومن يسأل أن يغفر له ذنبا غريي ؟‬،‫ أاتك عبدي اي حممد اتئبا فطردته‬:‫يقول عزوجل‬

Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “My-azwj servant came to you-saww, O Muhammad-saww,
repenting, but you-saww repelled him. (this is Sunnis way to show criticism of Allah-azwj) So
where would he go, and to whom would he aim for, and who can he ask for Forgive his sin for
him apart from Me-azwj?”

‫ مل يقيموا على الزان ونبش القبور وأخذ االكفان " اولئك جزاؤهم‬:‫ " ومل يصروا على ما فعلوا وهم يعلمون " يقول‬:‫مث قال عزوجل‬
" ‫مغفرة من رهبم وجنات جتري من حتتها االهنار خالدين فيها ونعم أجر العاملني‬

Then the Mighty and Majestic Said: and they do not persist upon what they are doing while
they are knowing. He-azwj is Saying: “They are not established upon the adultery, and
exhuming the graves, an taking the shrouds, [3:135] (As for) them - their Reward is
Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens beneath which rivers flow, being eternally therein,
and excellent is the Recompense of the workers [3:135].

‫ من يدلين على ذلك الشاب‬:‫ فقال الصحابه‬،‫فلما نزلت هذه اآلية على رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله خرج وهو يتلوها ويتبسم‬
،‫ ايرسول هللا بلغنا أنه يف موضع كذا وكذا‬:‫التائب ؟ فقال معاذ‬

So, when this Verse was Revealed unto Rasool-Allah-saww, he-saww came out and he-saww was
smiling, and he-saww said to his-saww companions: ‘Who can point me to that youth?’ Muaz said,
‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! It has reached us that he is in such and such a place’.

‫فمضى رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله أبصحابه حىت انتهوا إىل ذلك اجلبل فصعدوا إليه يطلبون الشاب فإذا هم ابلشاب قائم بني‬
‫ قد أحسنت خلقي‬:‫ سيدي‬:‫ وهو يقول‬،‫ وتساقطت أشفار عينيه من البكاء‬،‫ قد اسود وجهه‬،‫ مغلولة يداه إىل عنقه‬،‫صخرتني‬
‫ فليت شعري ماذا تريد يب ؟ أيف النار حترقين ؟ أو يف جوارك تسكنين ؟‬،‫وأحسنت صوريت‬

So Rasool-Allah-saww went with his-saww companions until he-saww ended up to that mountain,
and he-saww ascended it seeking the youth, and there was the youth standing between two
rocks, his hand being tied to his neck, and his face having blackened, and the ends of his eyes
having torn from the crying, and he was saying, ‘My Master-azwj! You-azwj Created my face as
handsome. If only You-azwj could Make me aware of what is that which You -azwj intend with
me. Is it in the Fire You-azwj would be Burning me or would You-azwj Make me dwell in Your-azwj
vicinity?

‫ فليت شعري ماذا يكون آخر أمري ؟ إىل اجلنة تزفين ؟ أم إىل النار تسوقين ؟‬،‫اللهم إنك قد أكثرت االحسان إيل وأنعمت علي‬
‫ فليت شعري تغفر خطيئيت أم تفضحين هبا‬،‫اللهم إن خطيئيت أعظم من السماوات واالرض ومن كرسيك الواسع وعرشك العظيم‬
‫يوم القيامة ؟‬

O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have been of abundant Favours and Bounties upon me, so only if You-azwj
could Make me aware what is that would be happening at the end of my affairs. Would You -
azwj be Welcoming me to the Paradise, or be Ushering me to the Fire? O Allah -azwj! If my sin is

greater than the skies and the earths, and Your-azwj Extensive Chair, if only You-azwj could Make
me aware whether You-azwj have Forgiven my sin or You-azwj would be Disgracing me with it on
the Day of Judgment?’

! ‫فلم يزل يقول حنو هذا وهو يبكي وحيثو الرتاب على رأسه وقد أحاطت به السباع ! وصفت فوقه الطري ! وهم يبكون لبكائه‬

So He-azwj did not cease saying approximately this, and he was crying and spreading the dust
upon his head, and the wild animals had surrounded him, and the birds were circling above
him, and they were crying to his crying.

.‫ اي هبلول ! أبشر فإنك عتيق هللا من النار‬:‫ وقال‬،‫ ونفض الرتاب عن رأسه‬،‫فدان رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله فأطلق يديه من عنقه‬

So Rasool-Allah-saww approached him and freed his hand from his neck, and the shook off the
dust from his head, and said: ‘O Bahloul! Receive glad tidings, for Allah-azwj has Emancipated
you from the Fire’.

.‫ مث تال عليه ما أنزل هللا عزوجل فيه وبشره ابجلنة‬.‫ هكذا تداركوا الذنوب كما تداركها هبلول‬:‫مث قال عليه السالم الصحابه‬

Then he-saww said to his-saww companions: ‘Like this, is how you should be redressing the sins,
just as Bahloul has redressed’. Then he-saww recited to him what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic
had Revealed regarding him, and gave him glad tidings of the Paradise’’.43

The boy looked towards his father and did not say anything to him -saww. Then Rasool-Allah-
saww called out to him a second time and said to him similar to his -saww words at first. The boy

turned towards his father and did not say anything to him -saww. Then Rasool-Allah-saww called
out to him for the third time. The boy turned towards his father and he said, ‘If you like then
say it, and if you (don’t) like, then don’t’. The boy said, ‘I testify that there is no god except

From Kumayl Bin Ziyad who said,

‘I said to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! The servant commits the sin and

‘Ratification in the heart and intending that he will not return to that sin which he had sought

Kumeyl said, ‘So when he does that, would he be from the Forgiven ones?’ He-asws said: ‘No’.

،‫ النك مل تبلغ إىل االصل بعد‬:‫ فكيف ذاك ؟ قال‬:‫قال كميل‬

Kumeyl said, ‘Then, how is that?’ He-asws said: ‘Because you did not reach to the origin

to the repentance from the sin which he had sought from, and it is the first rank of the
worshippers, and leaving the sin.

And the seeking Forgiveness is a name occurring upon six meanings – The first of it is the
regret upon what has passed, and the second is the determination upon leaving the repetition
forever, and the third is that you will give the rights of the creatures which is between you
and them, and the fourth is that you will give the Right of Allah -azwj regarding all Obligations,
and the fifth is that you will melt the flesh which has been built upon the ill-gotten against
and the Prohibited (consumption) until the skin returns to its bone, then you grow in what is
between the two, new flesh, and the sixth is that you will make the body taste the pain of
(acts of) obedience just as you made it taste the pleasures of the (acts of) disobedience’’. 45

And, Allah-azwj the Exalted does not Punish a servant after the repentance, and the seeking of
Forgiveness except due to his evil thoughts, and his deficiency regarding his hoping to Allah-

My father, from Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muawiya Ibn Wahab
who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When the Momin servant repents with a sincere
repentance, Allah-azwj Loves him, and Veils upon him in the world and the Hereafter’. I said,
‘And how does He-azwj Veil upon him?’

against him and Reveals unto his limbs: “Conceal his sins upon him!” And Reveals unto the

he meets Allah-azwj when he does meet Him-azwj, and there wouldn’t be anything testifying
against him with anything from the sins’’.48

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws ascended the pulpit at Al-Kufa, and he-asws praised Allah-azwj and
extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! The sins are three!’ Then he-asws was silent,
so Habbat Al-Arny said to him-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Interpret it for me’.

‫ وذنب غري‬،‫ فذنب مغفور‬:‫ نعم الذنوب ثالثة‬،‫ ولكنه عرض يل هبرحال بيين وبني الكالم‬،‫ ما ذكرهتا إال وأان اريد أن افسرها‬:‫فقال‬

He-asws said: ‘I-asws did not mention it except and I-asws wanted to interpret it, but there
presented unto me-asws, shortness of breath between me-asws and the speech. Yes, the sins are
three – a Forgiven sin, and an Unforgiven sin, and a sin we hope for its perpetrator and fear
upon him’. It was said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Explain it to us’.

،‫ أما الذنب املغفور فعبد عاقبه هللا تعاىل على ذنبه يف الدنيا فاهلل أحكم وأكرم أن يعاقب عبده مرتني‬،‫ نعم‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘Yes. As for the Forgiven is, Allah-azwj the Exalted Punishes a servant upon his sin
in the world, and Allah-azwj is Wiser, and more Benevolent than that He-azwj would Punish His-
azwj servant twice (once again in the Hereafter).

‫ وعزيت وجاليل‬:‫ إن هللا تبارك وتعاىل إذا برز خللقه أقسم قسما على نفسه فقال‬،‫وأما الذنب الذي ال يغفر فظلم العباد بعضهم لبعض‬
،‫ ونطحة ما بني الشاة القرانء إىل الشاة اجلماء‬،‫ ولو مسحة بكف‬،‫ال جيوزين ظلم ظامل ولو كف بكف‬

And as for the sin which is Unforgiven, the servants are unjust to each other. When Allah -azwj
Blessed and Exalted Emphasized to His-azwj creatures, Swore an oath upon Himself-azwj and He-
azwj Said: ‘By My-azwj Might and My-azwj Majesty! I-azwj will not allow an injustice of an unjust one

and even if it be a palm for a palm, and even it be a touch with a pal, and a dispute what is
between the sheep with horns and the shabby sheep”.

،‫ مث يبعثهم هللا إىل احلساب‬،‫ حىت ال يبقى الحد عند أحد مظلمة‬،‫فيقتص هللا للعباد بعضهم من بعض‬

Thus, Allah-azwj would Redress for the servants, some of them from others, until there will not
remain any injustice for anyone with anyone. Then, Allah-azwj would Send them to the
Reckoning.

‫ راجيا لربه فنحن له كما هو لنفسه نرجو له‬،‫وأما الذنب الثالث فذنب سرته هللا على عبده و رزقه التوبة فأصبح خاشعا من ذنبه‬

And as for the third sin, it is a sin Allah-azwj Veils upon His-azwj servant and Graces him the
(inclination for) the repentance, and he becomes fearing from his sins, hoping to his Lord -azwj.
So, we-asws are to him just as he is to himself. We-asws hope for the Mercy for him, and we-asws
fear the Punishment upon him’’.52

From Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd having said: ‘Delaying the repentance is a deception, and
prolongation of the procrastination is a confusion, and suggesting the morbid state upon

It is reported that Abu Ja’far-asws was performing Hajj and with him-asws was his-asws son-asws
Ja’far-asws. A man came to him-asws and greeted him-asws and sat in front of him-asws, then said:
‘I want to ask you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Ask my-asws son-asws Ja’far-asws’.

‫ أفطر‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أسألك عن رجل أذنب ذنبا عظيما‬:‫ قال‬،‫ سل عما بدالك‬:‫ أسألك ؟ قال‬:‫ فتحول الرجل فجلس إليه مث قال‬:‫قال‬

،‫أعظم من ذلك‬

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, the man turned towards Ja’far-asws and sat (facing) him-asws, then
said: ‘Can I ask you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Ask what comes to you’. He said, ‘I ask you about a man
who commits a grievous sin’. He-asws said: ‘Did he break one day (Fast) during the Month of
Ramazan deliberately?’ He said, ‘More grievous than that’. He-asws said: ‘Committed adultery
in the Month of Ramazan?’ He said, ‘More grievous than that’. He-asws: ‘Killed a soul?’ He said,
‘More grievous than that’.

‫ فقال له‬،‫ و إن مل يكن من شيعته فال أبس‬،‫ إن كان من شيعة علي عليه السالم مشى إىل بيت هللا احلرام وحلف أن ال يعود‬:‫قال‬
.‫ ثالاث – هكذا مسعته من رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله‬- ‫ رمحكم هللا اي ولد فاطمة‬:‫الرجل‬

He-asws said: ‘If he was from the Shias of Ali-asws, he should walk to the Sacred House of Allah-
azwj and swear an oath that he would not repeat (in order to be Forgiven), and if he was not

from his-asws Shias, then there is no problem (he can remain sinful)’. The man said to him-asws,
‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-asws, O son-asws of Fatima-asws!’ – thrice, ‘That is how I heard
it from Rasool-Allah-saww’.

Then the man went and Abu Ja’far-asws turned and said: ‘Do you-asws recognise the man?’ He-

،‫ والبد للعبد من مداومة التوبة على كل حال‬،‫ التوبة حبل هللا ومدد عنايته‬:‫ قال الصادق عليه السالم‬:‫ مص‬- 38

Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The repentance is a Rope of Allah-azwj and an extension of His-azwj Care, and
there is no escape for the servant from continuing upon the repentance upon every state.

‫ وتوبة‬،‫ وتوبة االولياء من تلوين اخلطرات‬،‫ وتوبة االصفياء من التنفس‬،‫ فتوبة االنبياء من اضطراب السر‬،‫وكل فرقة من العباد هلم توبة‬
،‫ وتوبة العام من الذنوب‬،‫اخلاص من االشتغال بغري هللا‬

And for every sect, there is repentance for them. The repentance of the Prophets-as is from
being restless with the secret, and repentance of the pure ones is from the breathing (with
other than the Zikr of Allah-azwj), and repentance of the friends is from noticing sporadic
matters, and repentance of the special ones is from the mental occupation with other than
Allah-azwj, and repentance of the generality is from the sins.

،‫ وذلك يطول شرحه ههنا‬،‫ولكل واحد منهم معرفة وعلم يف أصل توبته ومنتهى أمره‬

And for each one of them there is understanding and knowledge in the origin of his
repentance and the end-point of his matter, and that its explanation is prolonged over here.

‫ واخلوف على ما بقي من‬،‫ واعتقاد الندم على ما مضى‬،‫ واالعرتاف ابجلناية دائما‬،‫فأما توبة العام فأن يغسل ابطنه مباء احلسرة‬
،‫ وحيبس نفسه عن الشهوات‬،‫ ويدمي البكاء واالسف على ما فاته من طاعة هللا‬،‫ وال يستصغر ذنوبه فيحمله ذلك إىل الكسل‬،‫عمره‬
،‫ويستغيث إىل هللا تعاىل ليحفظه على وفاء توبته‬

As for the repentance of the generality, he would wash his interior with the water of regret,
and the acknowledgment with the crime continuously, and hold on to the regret upon what
has passed, and the fear upon what remains from his life-span, and he should not belittle his
sin and carry that to the laziness, and perpetually cry and feel sorry upon what he has lost
from the obedience of Allah-azwj, and contain his self from the desires, and beg to Allah-azwj the
Exalted to Protect him upon the loyalty of his repentance;

‫ ويعتزل‬،‫ ويرد املظامل‬،‫ ويقضي عن الفوائت من الفرائض‬،‫ويعصمه عن العود إىل ما سلف ويروض نفسه يف ميدان اجلهد والعبادة‬
‫ ويثبت‬،‫ ويستهني ابهلل سائال منه االستقامة يف سرائه و ضرائه‬،‫ ويتفكر دائما يف عاقبته‬،‫ و يظمأ هناره‬،‫ ويسهر ليله‬،‫قرانء السوء‬
،‫عند احملن والبالء كيال يسقط عن درجة التوابني‬

And he should save himself from the repetition to what passed and tame himself in the plains
of the struggle and the worship, and fulfil from the misses from the Obligations, and respond
to the grievances, and separate from the evil pairings, and hold vigils in his nights, and be
thirsty during his day, and be thoughtful continuously regarding his Punishment, and be
humble with Allah-azwj asking from Him-azwj the steadfastness in his good times and bad times,
and be firm during the Tests and the afflictions, never falling from the rank of the penitent
ones.

Thus, in that, would be the cleansing from his sins, and increase in his deeds, and raising

From my father, Amro and Al Zubeyri,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on a servant who is not
pleased from himself that Iblees-la would be a peer for him in his Religion; and in the Book of
Allah-azwj there is salvation from the annihilation, and an insight from the blindness, and
evidence to the Guidance, and a healing from what is in the chests regarding what Allah -azwj
has Commanded you all with, from the seeking of Forgiveness along with the repentance’’.

‫ " والذين إذا فعلوا فاحشة أو ظلموا أنفسهم ذكروا هللا فاستغفروا لذنوهبم ومن يغفر الذنوب إال هللا ومل يصروا على ما فعلوا‬:‫قال هللا‬
" ‫وهم يعلمون‬

Allah-azwj Says: And those when they are committing an indecency or doing injustice to their
own selves, are remembering Allah and asking Forgiveness for their sins - and who Forgives
the sins except Allah? - and they do not persist upon what they are doing while they are
knowing [3:135].

" ‫ " ومن يعمل سوء أو يظلم نفسه مث يستغفر هللا جيد هللا غفورا رحيما‬:‫وقال‬

And Said: And the one who does evil or is unjust to himself, then he seeks Forgiveness of
Allah, would find Allah as Forgiving, Merciful [4:110].

‫ " إليه يصعد الكلم الطيب والعمل الصاحل‬:‫ فإنه يقول‬،‫ واشرتط معه ابلتوبة واالقالع عما حرم هللا‬،‫فهذا ما أمر هللا به من االستغفار‬
.‫يرفعه " وهذه اآلية تدل على أن االستغفار ال يرفعه إىل هللا إال العمل الصاحل والتوبة‬

So, this is what Allah-azwj Commanded with from the seeking of Forgiveness, and stipulated
with the repentance to be with it, and the uprooting from what Allah -azwj Prohibited, for He-
azwj is Saying: To Him ascend the good words, and the righteous deeds raise it. [35:10]. And

this Verse points upon that the seeking of Forgiveness, nothing raises it to Allah -azwj except
the righteous deed and the repentance’’.56

Allah-azwj does not Accept any deed from the deeds except from the one who meets Him -azwj
with the loyalty from him with that interpretation, and whatever has been Stipulated in it
upon the Momineen.

‫ " إمنا التوبة على هللا للذين يعملون السوء جبهالة " يعين كل ذنب عمله العبد وإن كان به عاملا فهو جاهل حني خاطر بنفسه‬:‫وقال‬

.‫جاهلون " فنسبهم إىل اجلهل ملخاطرهتم أبنفسهم يف معصية هللا‬

And He-azwj Said: But rather, the repenting to Allah is only for those who do the evil (deed)
out of ignorance, [4:17], meaning every sin the servant does, and even if he was knowing
with it, so he is ignorant when he motioned with himself in disobeying his Lord-azwj. And Allah-
azwj, Blessed and Exalted has Said regarding that – relating the words of Yusuf-as to his-as

brothers: ‘Do you know what you did with Yusuf and his brother when you were ignorant?’
[12:89]. Thus, He-azwj Linked them with the ignorance due to their notions with themselves in
disobeying Allah-azwj’’.58

From my father, Amro and al Zubeyri,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on a servant who repents to
Allah-azwj before the death, for the repentance is a cleanser from the filth of the sins, and a
saviour from the edge of destruction. Allah-azwj has Obligated it upon Himself-azwj for His-azwj
righteous servants, so He-azwj Said: so that the one from you who does evil out of ignorance,
then repents from after it and amends, then He is Forgiving, Merciful [6:54] And the one
who does evil or is unjust to himself, then he seeks Forgiveness of Allah, would find Allah as
Forgiving, Merciful [4:110]’’.62

‫ إن ابهبا مفتوح‬:‫ أخربين عن التوبة إىل مىت تقبل ؟ فقال صلى هللا عليه واله‬:‫ أتى أعرايب إيل النيب صلى هللا عليه واله فقال‬:‫ م‬- 46

‫ربك " وهي طلوع الشمس من مغرهبا " يوم أييت بعض آايت ربك ال ينفع نفسا إمياهنا مل تكن آمنت من قبل أو كسبت يف إمياهنا‬
." ‫خريا‬

A Bedouin came to the Prophet-saww and he said, ‘Inform me about the repentance, up to
when is it Accepted?’ He-saww said: ‘Its door is open for the son of Adam-as and will not be
closed until the sun emerges from its west, and these are His-azwj Words: Are they only
waiting that the Angels should come to them, or your Lord should come, or some of the
Signs of your Lord should come? [6:158], and it is the emergence of the sun from its west,
The day some of the Signs of your Lord do come, a soul will not benefit from its Eman which
had not believed from before, or earned goodness during its Eman. [6:158]’’.63

From Abu Baseer who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying regarding His-azwj Words: then He
would always be Forgiving to the penitent [17:25]. He-asws said: ‘They are the penitent, the
worshippers’’.64

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws and a man said to him-asws, ‘May my father and my

and with them are singers beating the instruments (music), so sometimes I prolong my sitting

The man said, ‘By Allah-azwj! It is not something I come to with my legs, and rather it is a hearing
I hear with my ears (no choice)!’ He-asws said to him: ‘You, have you not heard Allah-azwj: Surely
the ears, and the eyes, and the heart, each of these would be Questioned about it [17:36]?’

He said, ‘Yes, but by Allah-azwj, it is as if I had not heard this Verse at all from the Book of Allah-
azwj, neither from a non-Arab nor an Arab. There is no doubt I will not be repeating it, if Allah -
azwj so Desires, and I shall seek Forgiveness of Allah -azwj’.

.‫ والقبيح دعه الهله فإن لكل أهال‬،‫ إنه ال يكره إال القبيح‬،‫التوبة من كل ما يكره‬

He-asws said to him: ‘Arise and wash and pray Salat whatever comes to you, for you were
standing upon a grievous matter. How difficult would your state be if you had died upon that!
Praise Allah-azwj and ask Him-azwj for the repentance from what He-azwj Dislikes, (for) He-azwj does
not dislike anything except for the ugliness, and (as for) the ugliness, leave it for its deserving
ones, as for everything there is a deserving one’’.65

of Allah-azwj, He-azwj Forgives him, and if he were to remember his sin after twenty years, and
he seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, He-azwj would (still) Forgive (his sin) for him’’.66

A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Ibn Aqada, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazal Bin Ibrahim Al Ashary, from Ali
Bin Hasan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer,

‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, in a lengthy
Hadeeth, arguing in it against Muawiya: ‘As for the near relation, the Polytheists has (also)
benefitted, and by Allah-azwj, it is more beneficial for the Momin. Rasool-Allah-saww said to his-
saww uncle-as Abu Talib-as – and it was during the death: ‘There is no god except Allah -azwj. I-saww

shall intercede for you by it on the Day of Judgment’.

– ‫ وليس ذلك الحد من الناس كلهم غري شيخنا‬،‫ومل يكن رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله يقول له ويعد إال ما يكون منه على يقني‬
‫ " وليست التوبة للذين يعملون السيئات حىت إذا حضر أحدهم املوت قال إين تبت اآلن وال‬:‫أعين أاب طالب – يقول هللا عزوجل‬
.‫الذين ميوتون وهم كفار اولئك أعتدان هلم عذااب أليما " اخلرب‬

And Rasool-Allah-saww did not happen to be saying to him-as and repeating, except what
happened to be from him-saww upon a certainty, and that it isn’t for anyone from the people,
all of them apart from our sheykh – meaning Abu Talib-as. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is
Saying: And there isn’t repentance for those who are committing the evil deeds, until when
the death presents itself to one of them, he says, ‘I repent now’, nor (for) those who are
dying while they are Kafirs – for them, We have Prepared a painful Punishment [4:18]’’.67

The Prophet-saww said: ‘The penitent one, when he does not manifest the effect of the
repentance, so he isn’t with a repentance – He pleases the disputant, and repeats the Salats,
and humbles between the people, and fears himself from the desires, and slanders his neck
by Fasting(s) during the day, and pales his colour by standing (for Salat) at night, empties his
stomach by scarcity of eating, and arches his back from fear of the Fire, and melts his bones
in desire for the Paradise, and crushes his head from terror of the Angel of death, and dries
his skin upon his body by thinking of the death.

.‫ وإذا رأيتم العبد على هذه الصورة فهو اتئب انصح لنفسه‬،‫فهذا أثر التوبة‬

So, these are the effects of the repentance. And when you see the servant to be upon this
image, then he is a penitent one, sincere to himself’’.68

And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Do you know the one who is the penitent?’ They said, ‘O Allah -
azwj! No’. He-saww said: ‘When the servant repents and does not please the disputant, so he

isn’t a repentant; and one who repents and does not increase in the worship, so he isn’t a
repentant; and one who repents and does not change his clothing so he isn’t a repentant; and
one who repents and does not change his friends, so he isn’t a repentant;

،‫ ومن اتب ومل يغري فراشه ووسادته فليس بتائب ومن اتب ومل يغري خلقه ونيته فليس بتائب‬،‫ومن اتب ومل يغري جملسه فليس بتائب‬
‫ ومن اتب ومل يقدم‬،‫ ومن اتب ومل يقصر أمله ومل حيفظ لسانه فليس بتائب‬،‫ومن اتب ومل يفتح قلبه ومل يوسع كفه فليس بتائب‬
.‫ وإذا استقام على هذه اخلصال فذاك التائب‬،‫فضل قوته بدنه فليس بتائب‬

And one who repents and does not change his gatherings so he is isn’t a repentant; and one
who repents and does not change his bed and his pillow, so he isn’t a repentant; and one who
repents and does not change his manners and his intentions so he isn’t a repentant; and one
who repents and does not send forwards the extra of his body so he isn’t a repentant. And
when he is straight upon these characteristics, so that is the repentant one’’. 69

‘He-asws said to a speak in his-asws presence (who had said), ‘I sought Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’,
(he-asws) said: ‘May your mother be bereaved of you! Do you know what is the seeking of
Forgiveness?

‫ والثالث‬،‫ والثاين العزم على ترك العود إليه أبدا‬،‫ أوهلا الندم على ما مضى‬،‫إن االستغفار درجة العليني وهو اسم واقع على ستة معان‬
،‫ والرابع أن تعمد إىل كل فريضة عليك ضيعتها فتؤدي حقها‬،‫أن تؤدي إىل املخلوقني حقوقهم حىت تلقى هللا أملس ليس عليك تبعة‬

The seeking of Forgiveness is of a high rank, and it is a name occurring upon six meaning – the
first of it is the regret upon what passed; and the second is the determination upon leaving
the repetition to it, for ever; and the third is that you will return to the people, their rights
until you meet Allah-azwj pure, there isn’t any pursuer upon you; and the fourth is that you
deliberate to every Obligation upon you which you had wasted and fulfil its right;

‫ والسادس‬،‫واخلامس أن تعمد إىل اللحم الذي نبت على السحت فتذيبه ابالحزان حىت يلصق اجللد ابلعظم وينشأ بينهما حلم جديد‬
.‫ أستغفر هللا‬:‫ فعند ذلك تقول‬،‫أن تذيق اجلسم أمل الطاعة كما أذقته حالوة املعصية‬

And the fifth is that you deliberate to the flesh which has built upon the ill-gotten gains and
melt it with another until the skin meets with the bone and there grows new flesh between
the two; and the sixth is that you make the body taste the pain of obedience just as you had
made it take the sweetness of the disobedience. Thus, at that, you should be saying, ‘I have
sought Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’’.76

Nahj (Al Balagah) –

‘And he-asws said to a man who had asked him-asws to advise him: ‘Do not become from the one
who dope for the Hereafter without the deeds, and hopes for the repentance with prolonged
works’ – and the crust of the speech up to he-asws said: ‘If the desire presents to him, he is
quick to the disobedience, and delays the repentance’’.77

‘And he-asws said: ‘One who give four would not be Deprived four – one who give the
supplication would not be Deprived the Answer; and one who gives the repentance would
not be Deprived the Acceptance; and one who gives the seeking of Forgiveness would not be
Deprived the Forgiveness; and one who gives the thanks would not be Deprived the increase.

Ali Bin Al Mugheira, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘Indeed! Allah-azwj is Happier from a repentance of His-azwj

of wilderness and upon it is his food and his drink, and while he is like that not knowing what
to do nor where to head towards until he places his head to sleep, and a comer comes to him
and says to him, ‘Is there a riding animal for you?’ He says, ‘Yes’. He says, ‘Here it is, take it’.
So, he stands up and takes it’.

.‫ وهللا أفرح بتوبة عبده حني يتوب من ذلك الرجل حني وجد راحلته‬:‫فقال أبو جعفر عليه السالم‬

Given to all the inhabitants of the skies and the earth, they would have achieved salvation by

Then Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘But, the companions of Muhammad-saww said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww!
We fear the hypocrisy upon us’. So, he-saww said:’ And why are you fearing that?’

،‫ إذا كنا عند ك فذكرتنا ورغبتنا وجلنا ونسينا الدنيا وزهدان حىت كأننا نعاين اآلخرة واجلنة والنار وحنن عندك‬:‫قالوا‬

desirous, and polish us, and makes us forget the world, and make us ascetic until it is as if we

But, when we go out from your-saww presence and enter these houses, and we smell the
children and we see the dependants and the family members, we almost turn around from
the state which we used to be in when in your-saww presence, to the extent as if we do not

.‫بعدما اعطيت وإن يل طالع ما بني الثرى إىل العرش آليل رطبة وجواهر فاخرة‬

The second one of them said: ‘May my father and mother be sacrificed for you-saww, O Rasool-
Allah-saww! I am not depending on anything other than this allegiance for my entry into
Paradise and salvation from the Fire. By Allah-azwj! It would not make me happy if I were to
renege or break after having given from myself what I have given (pledge of allegiance), and
even if there was for me, what is between the earth to the Throne a mountain of pride-worthy
jewels.’

‫ وهللا ايرسول هللا لقد صرت من الفرح هبذه البيعة ومن السرور الفسيح من اآلمال يف رضوان هللا ما أيقنت أنه لو كانت‬:‫وقال اثلثهم‬
‫ذنوب أهل االرض كلها علي حملصت عين هبذه البيعة‬

And the third of them said: ‘By Allah-azwj! O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have so much happiness in my
heart after taking an oath of allegiance (to Ali-asws) and I prefer this to any of my other deeds.
I am convinced that it will earn me the Pleasure of Allah-azwj and even if I were to have the sins
of all the people of the world on me, still I will be cleansed from them by (honouring) this
allegiance’.

،‫ مث تتابع مبثل هذا االعتذار من بعدهم من اجلبابرة واملتمردين‬- ‫ وحلف على ما قال من ذلك‬-

And he swore upon what he said from that, then he followed it up with the likes of these
apologies from after them, from the tyrants and the apostates.

‫ " خيادعون هللا يعين خيادعون رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه وآله أبمياهنم خالف ما يف‬:‫فقال هللا عز وجل حملمد صلى هللا عليه واله‬
.‫جواحنهم " والذين آمنوا " كذلك أيضا الذين سيدهم وفاضلهم علي بن أيب طالب عليه السالم‬

So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammad-saww: They are (trying to) deceive Allah
[2:9] Meaning - they are (trying to) deceive Rasool-Allah-saww by the display of their Eman
which is against what is in their hearts; and those who believe Similar to that as well, (trying
to deceive) their chief and their superior, Ali-asws Ibn Abu Talib-asws.

‫ ولوال إمهاله هلم ما قروا‬،‫ " وما خيدعون إال أنفسهم " ما يضرون بتلك اخلديعة إال أنفسهم فإن هللا غين عنهم وعن نصرهتم‬:‫مث قال‬
‫على شئ من فجورهم وطغياهنم‬

Then Allah-azwj Said: and they are not deceiving except for themselves – and they are not
damaging anyone with their deceit except their own selves for Allah-azwj is Needless of them
and their help, and had He-azwj not Respited them they would have no power over anything
from their corruption and tyranny;

‫ وذلك اللعن‬،‫" وما يشعرون " أن االمر كذلك وأن هللا يطلع نبيه على نفاقهم وكذهبم وكفرهم وأيمره بلعنهم يف لعنة الظاملني الناكثني‬
" ‫ ويف اآلخرة يبتلون بشدائد عقاب هللا‬،‫ يف الدنيا يلعنهم خيار عباد هللا‬،‫ال يفارقهم‬

And they are not realising that the matter is like that, and Allah-azwj has Notified His-azwj
Prophet-saww about their hypocrisy, and their lies, and their infidelity, and Commanded him-
saww in cursing the unjust and the breakers of the allegiance. And that curse would not

separate from them – in the world the best of the servants of Allah-azwj would be cursing them,
and in the Hereafter they would be involved in the severe Punishments of Allah -azwj’

‫ املواطؤن على خمالفة علي‬،‫ وإذا لقي هؤالء الناكثون للبيعة‬:‫ " يعمهون " قال موسى عليه السالم‬:‫وإذا لقوا الذين آمنوا " إىل قوله‬
،‫عليه السالم ودفع االمر عنه‬

And when they are meeting those who believe, [2:14] – up to His-azwj Words: wandering
blindly [2:15] – Musa-asws said: ‘‘And when they are meeting – Those breakers of the
allegiance, the ones resolutely upon the opposition to Ali-asws and repelling the matter
(Caliphate) away from him-asws.

،‫ إذا لقوا سلمان واملقداد و أاب ذر وعمار قالوا آمنا مبحمد وسلمنا له بيعة علي وفضله كما آمنتم‬،‫الذين آمنوا قالوا آمنا كإميانكم‬

(When they are meeting) those who believe, they are saying: We believe – just like those
with Eman, when they are meeting Salman-ra, and Al-Miqdad-ra, and Abu Zarr-ra and Ammar-
ra. (So) they are saying, ‘We believe in Muhammad -saww, and we submit allegiance to Ali-asws

and his-asws merits, and concede to his-asws matter just as you believe’.

‫ هؤالء‬:‫وأن أوهلم واثنيهم واثلثهم إىل اتسعهم رمبا كانوا يلتقون يف بعض طرقهم مع سلمان وأصحابه فإذا لقوهم امشأزوا منهم وقالوا‬
– ‫ يعنون حممدا و عليا عليهما السالم‬- ‫أصحاب الساحر واالهوج‬

And their first one, and their second one, and their third ones, up to their ninth one – would
sometimes come across, in one of the streets, with Salman-ra and his-ra companions. So, when
they did meet them, they were constricted from them and they said, ‘They are the
companions of the sorcerer and the reckless’ – meaning Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws.

‫ وميدحه مبا قال‬،‫ مرحبا بسلمان بن االسالم‬:‫ فإذا التقوا قال أوهلم‬،‫ انظروا كيف أسخر منهم وأكف عاديتهم عنكم‬:‫فيقول أوهلم‬
،‫ وكذا كان ميدح متام االربعة‬،‫النيب صلى هللا عليه واله فيه‬

So, the first one was saying to them, ‘Look at me how I mock at them, and refrain their
opposition from you’. When they met, their first one said, ‘Congratulations Salman-ra son of
Al-Islam’, and he praised him-ra with what the Prophet-saww had said regarding him-ra, and like
that he praised all the four.

،‫ ال نزال خبري ما عشت لنا‬:‫ فيقول له‬،‫فلما جازوا عنهم كان يقول االول كيف رأيتم سخرييت هلؤالء وكفي عاديتهم عين وعنكم‬
‫ فإن اللبيب العاقل من جترع على الغصة حىت ينال‬،‫ فهكذا فلتكن معاملتكم هلم إىل أن تنتهزوا الفرصة فيهم مثل هذا‬:‫فيقول هلم‬
،‫الفرصة‬

When they had crossed over from them, the first one was saying, ‘‘How did you see my
mocking with them and refraining their enmity from me and from you?’ They were saying,
‘We will not cease to be in goodness for as long as you live for us’. He was saying to them,
‘This is how you should be in your dealing with them, until you can seize the opportunity
similar to this regarding them, for the one of understanding, the intellectual, is the one who
does not panic upon the anger until he grabs the opportunity’.

‫مث يعودون إىل أخداهنم من املنافقني املتمردين املشاركني هلم يف تكذيب رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله فيما أداه إليهم عن هللا عزوجل‬
،‫من ذكر تفضيل أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم ونصبه إماما على كافة املسلمني‬

Then they are returning to their paramours from the hypocrites, the apostates, the
participants of theirs in their belying Rasool-Allah-saww regarding what was hateful to them
from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, from the mention and merits of Amir-Al-Momineen-asws
and his-asws appointment as the Imam-asws and in charge upon all Muslims.

‫ فال يغرنكم وال يهولنكم ما تسمعونه منا‬،‫ إان معكم فيما واطأانكم عليه من دفع علي عن هذا االمر إن كانت حملمد كائنة‬:‫قالوا هلم‬
،‫من تقريظهم وتروان جنرتئ عليهم من مداراهتم فإان حنن مستهزؤون هبم‬

They are saying – to them- We are with you all upon what and what are reassuring you upon,
from the repelling Ali-asws from this matter (Caliphate), if there was to happen to Muhammad-
saww an event (of death), therefore neither let it deceive you nor appal you what you would

be listening from us from our praising them-asws, and you see us to be in their-asws circles, but
rather we were only mocking with them.’

‫ " هللا يستهزئ هبم " جيازيهم جزاء استهزائهم يف الدنيا واآلخرة " وميدهم يف طغياهنم يعمهون " ميهلهم ويتأتى هبم‬:‫فقال هللا عزوجل‬
‫ وهم يعمهون ال يرعوون عن قبيح وال يرتكون أذى مبحمد وعلي ميكنهم إيصاله إليهما‬،‫ ويعدهم إذا اتبوا املغفرة‬،‫ويدعوهم إىل التوبة‬
.‫إال بلغوه‬

Allah-azwj the Mighty and Majestic Said: “O Muhammad-saww! Allah will be Mocking with them
[2:15] – and He-azwj would Recompense them with such a Recompense, they would be mocked
within the world as well as in the Hereafter - and Extend them in their insolence Respiting
them and being Patient with them due to His-azwj Kindness and Inviting them to the
repentance, and Prepare the Forgiveness when they do repent – and they are blindly
wandering on – They will neither be removing their ugliness nor will they be leaving their
hurting Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws to the extent of their abilities.'

،‫ أما استهزاء هللا هبم يف الدنيا فهو إجراؤه إايهم على ظاهر أحكام املسلمني الظهارهم السمع والطاعة‬:‫قال العامل عليه السالم‬

Page 67 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

The Imam-asws, the knowledgeable one, said: As for Allah-azwj the Exalted Mocking them in this
world, it is that their apparent expression of belief made them come under the orders of the
Muslims of hearing and obeying.

‫وأما استهزاؤه هبم يف اآلخرة فهو أن هللا عزوجل إذا أقرهم يف دار اللعنة واهلوان وعذهبم بتلك االلوان العجيبة من العذاب وأقر هؤالء‬
‫املؤمنني يف اجلنان حبضرة حممد صفي هللا امللك الداين‬

And as for Mocking them in the Hereafter will be that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, when
He-azwj Accepts them to be in the house of the curses and the disgrace and Punishes them with
those verities of severe Punishments, and will Open the chambers of Curses and humiliation
to be their abode and Inflict upon them severe types of Punishment, and Accepts these
Momineen to be in the Gardens in the presence of Muhammad-saww in the position of a judging
king.

‫أطلعهم على هؤالء املستهزئني هبم يف الدنيا حىت يروا ما هم فيه من عجائب اللعائن وبدائع النقمات فيكون لذهتم وسرورهم‬
،‫بشماتتهم كلذهتم وسرورهم بنعيمهم يف جنان رهبم‬

He-azwj will then Notify upon these mockers, those who were mocking with them in the world,
until they (Momineen) see them what they are involved in from the varieties of the curses
and newly originated curses. Thus, that would happen to be their pleasure and their joy by
their gloating with them – just as it would be their pleasure and their joy with their own
Bounties in the Gardens of their Lord-azwj’.

‫ والكافرون واملنافقون ينظرون فريون هؤالء املؤمنني الذين كانوا هبم يف‬،‫فاملؤمنون يعرفون اولئك الكافرين املنافقني أبمسائهم وصفاهتم‬
،‫الدنيا يسخرون ملا كانوا من مواالة حممد وعلي و آهلما يعتقدون‬

So, the Momineen would be recognising those Kafirs and the Munafiqs (hypocrites) – by their
names and their descriptions, And the Kafirs and the Munafiqs would be looking on, and they
would be seeing these Momineen, those who they were mocking within the world – due to
what they were from the friendship and believing in Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws
Progeny-asws.

- ! ‫ اي فالن ! واي فالن ! واي فالن‬:‫ فيقول هؤالء املؤمنون املشرفون على هؤالء الكافرين املنافقني‬،‫فريوهنم يف أنواع الكرامة والنعيم‬
‫ ما ابلكم يف مواقف خزيكم ماكثون ؟ هلموا إلينا نفتح لكم أبواب اجلنان لتخلصوا من عذابكم وتلحقوا‬- ‫حىت ينادوهم أبمسائهم‬
،‫بنا‬

They would be seeing them in a variety of the honour and the Bounties, and these honoured
Momineen would be saying upon those Kafirs, hypocrites, ‘O so and so!’ And, ‘O so and so!’
And, ‘O so and so!’ – until they call out with their names – ‘What is the matter with you
immersed remaining in your disgrace? Come to us. We will open the doors of the Gardens for
you in order to finish you off from your Punishments, and you can join up with us!’

‫ فينظرون إىل أبواب من اجلنان مفتحة خييل إليهم أهنا إىل‬،‫ انظروا إىل هذه االبواب‬:‫ اي ويلنا أىن لنا هذا ؟ فيقول املؤمنون‬:‫فيقولون‬
‫ وعدوا من بني أيدي‬،‫ ويقدرون أهنم يتمكنون من أن خيلصوا إليها فيأخذون يف السباحة يف حبار محيمها‬،‫جهنم اليت فيها يعذبون‬
‫ وهم يلحقوهنم يضربوهنم أبعمدهتم و مرزابهتم وسياطهم‬،‫زابنيتها‬

They would be saying, ‘O woe is for us! If only this was for us’. The Momineen would be saying,
‘Look at these doors’. They would be looking at the doors of the Gardens being opened,
making them think that it is to Hell which they are being Punished, and (now) they are being
enabled to be finished off from it. They would take to the swimming in the ocean of its pus,
and end up in the hands of its Zabanyya (Angels of Hell), and they would be meeting them –
and they would be striking them with their rods, and their hammers and their whips.

،‫ وهذه االصناف من العذاب متسهم حىت إذا قدروا أن قد بلغوا تلك االبواب وجدوها مردومة عنهم‬،‫فال يزالون هكذا يسريون هناك‬
،‫ ويستلقي اولئك املؤمنون على فرشهم يف جمالسهم يضحكون منهم‬،‫وتدهدههم الزابنية أبعمدهتا فتنكسهم إىل سواء اجلحيم‬
،‫مستهزئني هبم‬

They would not cease to be like this moving back and forth over there. And these are the
types of the Punishments touching them, until when they are able to reach the doors, they
would find these to be closed, and the Zabanyya (Angels) would be repelling them with their
rods. Thus, they would be pushing them to the Blazing Fire, and those Momineen would be
lying down upon their carpets, in their gatherings, laughing at them, mocking with them.

." ‫ " فاليوم الذين آمنوا من الكفار يضحكون على االرائك ينظرون‬:‫فذلك قول هللا عزوجل‬

And these are Words of the Mighty and Majestic: So today those who believe shall laugh at
the Kafirs [83:34] On thrones, they would be looking [83:35]’’.97

.31 - 30 ‫وما أنتم مبعجزين يف االرض وما لكم من دون هللا من ويل وال نصري‬

And you will not be escaping in the earth, and there would neither be a Guardian nor a

Surely, We will Try them just as We Tried the owners of the garden, when they swore that

* ‫فطاف عليها طائف من ربك وهم انئمون * فأصبحت كالصرمي‬

So there visited upon it a visitation from your Lord, and they were sleeping [68:19] So in the

* ‫وغدوا على حرد قادرين * فلما رأوها قالوا إان لضالون * بل حنن حمرومون‬

And they went early morning upon a determination, powerful [68:25] But when they saw

* ‫قال أوسطهم أمل أقل لكم لوال تسبحون * قالوا سبحان ربنا إان كنا ظاملني‬

cease to being hit due to what they are doing, by a calamity – and it is the scourge, or it
being released near to their houses it, and it hits other people and they would be seeing that
and would be hearing of it. And those, a calamity is released upon are Kafirs like them, and
they did not advise each other, and it will never cease to be like that until there comes the
Promised threat of Allah [13:31], of the Help which He-azwj Promised the Momineen and the
Kafirs are disgraced’’.98

And strike for them an example of two men. We Made to be for one of them, two gardens
of grapes and bordered both of these with palm trees, and We Made a plantation to be
between them [18:32], he (Ali Bin Ibrahim) said, ‘It was Revealed regarding a man who had
two big magnificent orchards for him, full of fruits – just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic
Related – and in these two was a palm tree plantation and water, and he had a poor
neighbour.

‫ " ما أظن أن تبيد هذه أبدا وما أظن‬:‫ " أان أكثر منك ماال وأعز نفرا " مث دخل بستانه وقال‬:‫ وقال له‬،‫فافتخر الغين علي الفقري‬

The rich one prided upon the poor and said to him, ‘‘I am of more wealth than you and
mightier in number (of children) [18:34]’. Then he entered his garden and said, ‘I don’t think
that this will perish, ever! [18:35] And I don’t think the Hour would be Established, and even
if I am returned to my Lord I will find an abode better than this [18:36]’.

" ‫فقال له الفقري " أكفرت ابلذي خلقك من تراب مث من نطفة مث سواك رجال لكنا هو هللا ريب ال اشرك بريب أحدا‬

The poor one said to him, ‘‘Are you committing Kufr with the One Who Created you from
dust, then from a seed, then Completed you as a man? [18:37] But as for me, He is Allah, my
Lord, and I do not associate anyone with my Lord [18:38]’.

" ‫ فهال " إذ دخلت جنتك قلت ما شاء هللا ال قوة إال ابهلل إن ترن أان أقل منك ماال وولدا‬:‫مث قال الفقري للغين‬

Then the poor one said, ‘And, if only you had said when you entered your garden, ‘Whatever
Allah so Desires, there is no Strength except by Allah!’ Surely, you view that I am lesser than
you in wealth and children [18:39]’.

‫ " فعسى ريب أن يؤتني خريا من جنتك ويرسل عليها حسباان من السماء فتصبح صعيدا زلقا " أي حمرتقا " أو يصبح‬:‫مث قال الفقري‬

Then the poor one said, ‘So, perhaps my Lord would be Giving me better than your garden
and would Send upon it a thunderbolt from the sky, so it would become a barren plain
[18:40] – i.e. incinerated, Or its waters might become sunken, [18:41]’.

‫فوقع فيها ما قال الفقري يف ذلك الليلة " فأصبح " الغين " يقلب كفيه " على ما أنفق فيها " وهي خاوية على عروشها ويقول ايليتين‬

So, there occurred during that night, what the poor one had said it would, So in the morning
he – the rich one, was wringing his hands upon what he had spent in these, and these had
collapsed upon its top, and he was saying, ‘Woe be unto me! Had I not associated anyone

besides Allah, and he was not supported [18:43]’. And this is the Punishment of the rich

He-asws said: ‘Be cautioned from you doing as I-asws have done’. They said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-
Allah-saww! And what did you do?’ He-asws said: ‘That is veiled, only if she speaks with it’. So,
they asked her and she said, ‘There was a second wife for my husband. I stood up to pray
Salat and I thought that my husband was with her, so I turned around towards her and saw
her to be seated, and he wasn’t with her’, so her face turned back upon what it used to be’’.100

sacrificed for you-asws, O my Master-asws! Teach your-asws slave, ‘What invitation is not
acceptable for its speaker, and what invitation is not acceptable for its doer? And what is the
limit of seeking the Forgiveness which Noah-as had promised upon? And the seeking of
Forgiveness which its speaker is not Punished upon? And how to speak with these two?

‫ وإن هللا ال يغري ما بقوم‬،‫ ومن أعرض عن ذكري‬،‫ " ومن اتبع هداي‬:‫ ومن يتوكل على هللا " ؟ وقوله‬،‫ " ومن يتق هللا‬:‫وما معىن قوله‬
.‫حىت يغريوا ما أبنفسهم " ؟ وكيف تغيري القوم ما أبنفسهم حىت يغري ما أبنفسهم ؟‬

And what is the meaning of His-azwj Words: and one who fears Allah, [65:5] And one who
relies upon Allah [65:3]? And His-azwj Words: then the one who follows Guidance [20:123],
And one who turns away from My Zikr, [20:124], Surely Allah does not Change what is with
a people until they change what is with themselves. [13:11]? And how can the people change
what is with themselves until what is with themselves changes?’

‫ االستغفار‬،‫ كافاكم هللا عين بتضعيف الثواب واجلزاء احلسن اجلميل وعليكم مجيعا السالم ورمحة هللا وبركاته‬:‫فكتب صلوات هللا عليه‬
،‫ ومن يتق هللا جيعل له خمرجا ويرزقه من حيث ال حيتسب‬،‫ والتوكل من توكل على هللا فهو حسبه‬،‫ألف‬

So, he-asws wrote: ‘May Allah-azwj Suffice you on my-asws behalf with additional Rewards and the
goodly beautiful Recompense, and upon you all be the greetings and the Mercy of Allah -azwj
and His-azwj Blessings. The seeking of Forgiveness is of a thousand (types), and the reliance of
the one who relies upon Allah-azwj, He-azwj would Suffice him, and one who fears Allah-azwj, He-
azwj would Make a way out to be for him and Sustain him from where he had not reckoned.

‫ وأما التغري إنه ال يسئ إليهم حىت يتولوا ذلك أبنفسهم‬،‫ ابالمامة واتبع أمركم حبسن طاعتهم‬:‫ " ومن اتبع هداي " من قال‬:‫وأما قوله‬
.‫ وكتب خبطه‬.‫خبطاايهم وارتكاهبم ما هني عنه‬

And as for His-azwj Words: then the one who follows Guidance [20:123], is one who says with
the Imamate, and pursues your matter with the goodness of their-asws obedience; and as for

the change, it is not harmful to them until they do it with themselves with their sins and their
indulgences of what they had been Prohibited from’. And he-asws had written by his-asws
handwriting’’.103

‘And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj! There were no people at all in the plentiful Bounties from life,

Allah-azwj the Exalted isn’t the least unjust to the servant; and had the people, when the

Muhammad Bin Naeem Bin Sahzan, from his uncle Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Shazan who said,

‘Al-Fazl Bin Shazan Al-Neyshapouri said, ‘If a questioner asks and he says, ‘Inform me, it is
allowed that the Wise One-azwj would Encumber His-azwj servant with a deed from the deeds,
without there being a reason or a meaning?’ It would be said to him, ‘That is not allowed
because He-azwj is Wise, without frivolity nor ignorance’.

‫ فأخربين عن تلك العلل معروفة موجودة هي أم غري معروفة وال موجودة ؟‬:‫ فإن قال‬.‫ لعلل‬:‫ فأخربين مل كلف اخللق ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
.‫ ومنها ما ال نعرفه‬،‫ منها ما نعرفه‬:‫ أتعرفوهنا أنتم أم ال تعرفوهنا ؟ قيل هلم‬:‫ فإن قال‬.‫ بل هي معروفة وموجودة عند أهلها‬:‫قيل‬

If he says, ‘Inform me, why did He-azwj Encumber the creatures?’ It would be said, ‘For a
reason’. If he says, ‘Inform me about that reason, it is well known, present, or not well known
nor present?’ It would be said, ‘But, it is well known and present with its rightful ones’. If he
says, ‘Do you know it or do you not know it?’ It would be said to them, ‘From these are what
we do know, and from these are what we do not know’.

.‫ االقرار ابهلل عزوجل (وبرسوله و حجته ع) ومبا جاء من عند هللا عزوجل‬:‫ فما أول الفرائض ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘So, what is the first Obligation?’ It would be said, ‘The acknowledgment with Allah-
azwj mighty and Majestic (and with His-azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj Divine Authorities-asws), and

with whatever has come from the Presence of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic’.

‫ منها أن من مل يقر ابهلل‬:‫ لعلل كثرية‬:‫ مل أمر هللا اخللق ابالقرار ابهلل وبرسا ا ا ا االه وحججه ومبا جاء من عند هللا عزوجل ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
،‫ ومل يراقب أحدا فيما يشتهي ويستلذ من الفساد و الظلم‬،‫عزوجل مل جيتنب معاصيه ومل ينته عن ارتكاب الكبائر‬

If he says, ‘Why did Allah-azwj Command the creatures with the acknowledgment with Allah-
azwj and with His-azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj Divine Authorities-asws and with whatever has come

from the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic?’ It would be said, ‘For a lot of reasons.
From these is that one who does not acknowledge with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would
not shun disobeying Him-azwj and would not end from indulging in the major sins, and would
not monitor anyone regarding what he desires and take advantage of the corruption and the
injustice.

‫ ووثوب‬،‫فإذا فعل الناس هذه االشياء وارتكب كل إنسان ما يشتهي ويهواه من غري مراقبة الحد كان يف ذلك فساد اخللق أمجعني‬
‫ فيكون‬،‫ فغصبوا الفروج واالموال وأابحوا الدماء والنساء (والسيب ع) وقتل بعضهم بعضا من غري حق وال جرم‬،‫بعضهم على بعض‬
.‫ وفساد احلرث والنسل‬،‫ وهالك اخللق‬،‫يف ذلك خراب الدنيا‬

When the people do these things and every human being indulges in whatever he so desires,
and his whims from without monitoring of anyone, there would be corruption in that for the
entirety of the creatures, and some of them would pounce upon the others, and they would
usurp the marriages, and the wealth, and legalise the blood and the women (and the
children), and would kill each other from without a right nor a crime. Thus, there would
happen to be ruination of the world in that, and destruction of the people, and spoiling of the
farms and the lineages.

،‫ ويزجر عن الظلم‬،‫ وأيمر ابلصا ااالح‬،‫ وال يكون احلكيم وال يوصا ااف ابحلكمة إال الذي حيظر الفسا اااد‬،‫ومنها أن هللا عزوجل حكيم‬

And from these is that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Wise, and one cannot happen to be
the wise nor be descried with the wisdom except one who bans the corruption, and instructs
with the correctness, and rebukes from the injustice, and prohibits from the immoralities; and
the banning of the corruption, and the instructing with the correctness, and the prohibition
from the immoralities cannot happen except after the acknowledgment with Allah -azwj Mighty
and Majestic and recognition of the commands and the prohibition. So, if the people were to
be left without acknowledging with Allah-azwj and not recognising Him-azwj, the matter would
not be affirmed with the correctness, nor would there be any prohibition from corruption
when there is no command or a prohibition.

‫ فلوال االقرار ابهلل عزوجل وخش ا ا اايته ابلغيب مل يكن أحد إذا‬،‫ مس ا ا ااتورة عن اخللق‬،‫ومنها أان وجدان اخللق قد يفس ا ا اادون ابمور ابطنة‬
‫ غري مراقب‬،‫ إذا كان فعله ذلك مستورا عن اخللق‬،‫ وارتكاب كبرية‬،‫ وانتهاك حرمة‬،‫خال بشهوته وإرادته يراقب أحدا يف ترك معصية‬
،‫ وكان يكون يف ذلك هالك اخللق أمجعني‬،‫الحد‬

And from these, we find the people to have been corrupted with esoteric matters, veiled from
the (other) people. Had there been no acknowledgment with Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic,
and fearing Him-azwj in the hidden, no one would happen to be monitoring anyone when he is
alone with his desires and his intention in leaving obedience, and violation of sanctity, and
indulging in major sins, when that deed of his would be veiled from the people, not being
monitored by anyone, and there would happen to be in that, the destruction of the entirety
of the creatures.

‫ ال ختفى عليه‬،‫ انه عن الفساد‬،‫ آمر ابلصالح‬،‫ يعلم السر وأخفى‬،‫فلم يكن قوام اخللق و صالحهم إال ابالقرار منهم بعليم خبري‬
.‫ ليكون يف ذلك انزجار هلم عما خيلون به من أنواع الفساد‬،‫خافية‬

The uprightness of the people and their correctness cannot take place except by the
acknowledge from them with an All-Knowing, All-Aware Knowing the secrets and the hidden
matters, Commanding for the correctness and Prohibiting from the corruption, no hidden
matter being concealed from Him-azwj, for the Reprimand to happen to be for them in that,
from what they are being alone with from the variety of the corruptions.

‫ النه ملا مل يكن يف خلقهم وقوهلم وقواهم ما‬:‫ فلم وجب عليهم معرفة الرسل واالقرار هبم واالذعان هلم ابلطاعة ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
،‫يكملون ملصاحلهم‬

If he says, ‘So why was it Obligated upon them, the recognition of the Rasools -as and the
acknowledgment with them, and the submission to them-as with the obedience?’ It would be
said, ‘Because when there does not happen to be in their creation, and their words, and their
standing what they could be perfecting to their correctness.

‫ معصوم يؤدي إليهم‬،‫ وكان ضعفهم وعجزهم عن إدراكه ظاهرا مل يكن بد من رسول بينه وبينهم‬،‫وكان الصانع متعاليا عن أن يرى‬
‫ إذ مل يكن يف خلقهم ما يعرفون به ما حيتاجون إليه من‬،‫ ويقفهم على ما يكون به إحراز منافعهم ودفع مضارهم‬،‫أمره وهنيه وأدبه‬
،‫منافعهم ومضارهم‬

Page 78 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And the Maker would be too Exalted from being seen, and it was their weakness and their
inability from realising Him-azwj apparently, then there is no escape from a Rasool-as to be
between Him-azwj and them, and infallible delivering to them His-azwj Commands and His-azwj
Prohibitions and His-azwj Education, and pausing them upon what would happen to be a
protection of their benefits and repellent of their harms, when there does not happen to be
among their creation what they could be recognising with, what they would be needy to from
their benefits and their harms.

،‫ ولكان يكون إتيانه عبثا لغري منفعة وال صالح‬،‫فلو مل جيب عليهم معرفته وطاعته مل يكن هلم يف جمئ الرسول منفعة وال سد حاجة‬
.‫وليس هذا من صفة احلكيم الذي أتقن كل شئ‬

If His-azwj recognition and obedience had not been Obligated upon them, there would not have
been for them any benefit is the coming of the Rasool-saww nor a closing of a need. But,
following him-saww would have been in vain without having any benefit nor a correction, and
this isn’t from an Attribute of the Wise One-azwj Who Mastered all things.

‫ منها أن اخللق ملا وقعوا على حد حمدود وامروا أن ال يتعدوا ذلك‬:‫ لعلل كثرية‬:‫ فلم جعل اويل االمر وأمر بطاعتهم ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
‫احلد (تلك احلدودع) ملا فيه من فسادهم مل يكن يثبت ذلك وال يقوم إال أبن جيعل عليهم فيه أمينا مينعهم من التعدي والدخول فيما‬
،‫حظر عليهم النه لو مل يكن ذلك كذلك لكان أحد ال يرتك لذته ومنفعته لفساد غريه‬

If he says, ‘So why were the Masters-asws of the Command (Ul Al Amr) Made to be, and
Commanded to obey them-asws?’ It would be said, ‘Due to a lot of reasons. From these is that
when the people fall upon a limited limit and they are Commanded that they should not
exceed that limit (those limitations) due to what would be their corruption in it, that would
neither be affirmed nor would they be standing except if a securer is made to be upon them
with regards to it, preventing them from the exceeding and the entering into what would be
dangerous upon them, because if that does not happen to be like that, no one would leave
his pleasure and his benefits for the corruption of others.

.‫ ويقيم فيهم احلدود واالحكام‬،‫فجعل عليهم قيما مينعهم من الفساد‬

So, it was Made to be upon them as a price (to be paid) preventing them from the corruption,
and there were established among them the legal penalties and the Ordinances.

‫ فلم جيز يف‬،‫ومنها أان ال جند فرقة من الفرق وال ملة من امللل بقوا وعاشوا إال بقيم و رئيس ملا البد هلم منه يف أمر الدين والدنيا‬
‫ ويقيم هلم مجعتهم‬،‫ ويقسمون به فيئهم‬،‫ فيقاتلون به عدوهم‬،‫حكمة احلكيم أن يرتك اخللق مما يعلم أنه البد هلم منه وال قوام هلم إال به‬
.‫ ومينع ظاملهم من مظلومهم‬،‫ومجاعتهم‬

From these, we do not find any sect from the sects, nor a nation from the nations remaining
and living except with values and a chief, to what there is no escape for them from it in the
matters of the Religion and the world. Thus, it is not allowed in the Wisdom of the Wise One-
azwj that He-azwj would Leave the people from what He-azwj Knows that there is no escape for

them from it, nor any standing for them except by it, so they would be fighting their enemies

with him, and distributing their war booties by him, and he would establish for them, their
gatherings and their communities, and prevent their unjust ones from their oppressed ones.

،‫ ولزاد فيه املبتدعون‬،‫ وغريت السنة واالحكام‬،‫ وذهب الدين‬،‫ومنها أنه لو مل جيعل هلم إماما قيما أمينا حافظا مستودعا لدرست امللة‬
‫ مع اختالفهم واختالف‬،‫ غري كاملني‬،‫ الان قد وجدان اخللق منقوصني حمتاجني‬،‫ وشبهوا ذلك على املسلمني‬،‫ونقص منه امللحدون‬
،‫أهوائهم وتشتت أحنائهم‬

And from these is that, if an Imam-asws was not Made to be for them, an establisher, a securer,
a protector, a depository of studying the Religion, the Religion would have gone away, and
the Sunnah and the Ordinances would have been changed, and the innovators would have
increased in it, and the apostates would have reduced from it, and that would have been
confusing upon the Muslims, because we have found the people as inverted, needy, without
perfection, along with their differing(s)/differences and their different whims, and the
scattering of their states.

‫ وغريت الشرائع و السنن واالحكام‬،‫فلو مل جيعل هلم قيما حافظا ملا جاء به الرسول صلى هللا عليه واله لفسدوا على حنو ما بينا‬
.‫ وكان يف ذلك فساد اخللق أمجعني‬،‫واالميان‬

If there had not been Made for them as establisher, a protector of what the Rasool-saww had
come with, they would have corrupted upon an approximate of what we explained, and
changed the Laws and the Sunnahs, and the Ordinances, and the Eman, and in that would
have been the corruption of the people in their entirety.

‫ منها أن الواحد ال خيتلف فعله‬:‫ لعلل‬:‫ فلم ال جي وز أن يكون يف االرض إمامان يف وقت واحد أو أكثر من ذلك ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قيل‬
‫ فإذا كاان اثنني مث اختلف مههما وإرادهتما‬،‫ و ذلك أان مل جند اثنني إال خمتلفي اهلم واالرادة‬،‫ واالثنني ال يتفق فعلهما وتدبريمها‬،‫وتدبريه‬
،‫وتدبريمها وكاان كالمها مفرتضي الطاعة مل يكن أحدمها أوىل ابلطاعة من صاحبه‬

If he says, ‘Then why is it not allowed that there happen to be two Imams-asws in the earth at
one time, or more than that?’ It would be said, ‘For (several) reasons – from these is that the
one would not differ in his deed and in his management, and the two would not be
concordant in their deeds and their managements, and that is because we do not find two,
except different of thoughts and intentions. So, when there were two, their thinking and their
intentions and their managements would differ, and each of the two would be Obligatory to
be obeyed, one of the two not being foremost with the obedience than his counterpart.

‫ مث ال يكون أحد مطيعا الحدمها إال وهو عاص لآلخر فتعم املعصية أهل‬،‫فكان يكون يف ذلك اختالف اخللق والتشاجر والفساد‬
‫ ويكونون إمنا أتوا يف ذلك من قبل الصانع الذي وضع هلم ابب‬،‫ مث ال يكون هلم مع ذلك السبيل إىل الطاعة واالميان‬،‫االرض‬
.‫االختالف والتشاجر إذ أمرهم ابتباع املختلفني‬

Thus, there would happen to be differing of the people in that, and the quarrelling and the
corruption. Then no one would happen to be obedient to one of the two except and he would
be disobedient to the other one, and the disobedience would prevail among the people of
the earth, then there would not happen to be a way for them with that, to the obedience and

Page 80 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

the Eman, and rather they would come regarding from the direction of the Maker Who Placed
the door of the differing and the quarrelling for them, when He -azwj Commanded them with
following two different ones.

‫ مث ال يكون أحدمها أوىل أبن‬،‫ومنها أنه لو كاان إمامني كان لكل من اخلصمني أن يدعو إىل غري ما يدعوإليه صاحبه يف احلكومة‬
.‫يتبع من صاحبه فتبطل احلقوق واالحكام واحلدود‬

And from these is that if there had been two Imams, it would be for each one of the two
contenders that he calls to other than what his counterpart is calling towards regarding the
government, then not one of them would be foremost with being followed than his
counterpart, and the rights, and the rulings, and the limits would be invalidated.

‫ فإذا كان هذا كذلك وجب عليهما أن يبتدائ‬،‫ومنها أنه ال يكون واحد من احلجتني أوىل ابلنطق واحلكم واالمر والنهي من اآلخر‬
‫ فإن جاز الحدمها السكوت جاز السكوت لآلخر‬،‫ وليس الحدمها أن يسبق صاحبه بشئ إذا كاان يف االمامة شرعا واحدا‬،‫ابلكالم‬
.‫ وصارت الناس كأهنم ال إمام هلم‬،‫ وإذا جاز هلما السكوت بطلت احلقوق واالحكام وعطلت احلدود‬،‫مثل ذلك‬

And from these is that not one of the two Divine Authorities would be foremost with the
speaking, and the deciding, and the ordering, and the prohibiting than the other one. So,
when that was like this, similar to that it would Obligated upon both of them that they both
begin with the speech, and it wouldn’t be for each of the two that he precedes his counterpart
with anything, when there was one Law regarding the Imamate. So if it is allowed for one of
the two to remain silent, the silence would be allowed for the other one like that. And when
the silence is allowed for both of them, the rights, and the decisions would be invalidated,
and the legal penalties would be suspended, and the people would become, as if there is no
Imam for them.

‫ منها أنه ملا كان االمام مفرتض الطاعة مل‬:‫ لعلل‬:‫ فلم ال جيوز أن يكون االمام من غري جنس الرسول عليه السالم ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
.‫ والوصية الظاهرة ليعرف من غريه ويهتدى إليه بعينه‬،‫ وهي القرابة املشهورة‬،‫يكن بد من داللة تدل عليه ويتميز هبا من غريه‬

If he says, ‘Then why is it not allowed that the Imam-asws should be from a genus different to
the Rasool-saww?’ It would be said, ‘For (several) reasons – from these is that when the Imam-
asws was Obligatory to be obeyed, there would be no escape from the evidence pointing upon

him-asws and distinguishing him-asws with it from the others, and it is the famous relationship,
and the apparent bequest, for him-asws to be recognised from the others, and be guided to
him-asws exactly.

‫ كأيب‬،‫ومنها أنه لو جاز يف غري جنس الرسول لكان قد فضل من ليس برسول على الرسل إذ جعل أوالد الرسل أتباعا الوالد أعدائه‬
‫ وأوالد أعداء‬،‫ فيصري أوالد الرسول اتبعني‬،‫ النه قد جيوز بزعمه أن ينتقل ذلك يف أوالدهم إذا كانوا مؤمنني‬،‫جهل وابن أيب معيط‬
.‫ وكان الرسول أوىل هبذه الفضيلة من غريه وأحق‬،‫هللا وأعداء رسوله متبوعني‬

And from these is, if it was allowed for him to be from other than the genus of the Rasool-
saww, then there would be a preference of one who isn’t with a Rasool -as over the Rasool-saww

when the children of the Rasool-as would be following the children of his-saww enemies, like

Page 81 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

Abu Jahl-la and Ibn Abu Mueet, because it would have been allowed, by his allegation, that
(Command) would be transmitted into their children when they were Momineen, and the
children of the Rasool-saww would end up being followers, and the children of the enemies of
Allah-azwj and the enemies of the Rasool-saww would be followed ones, and the Rasool-saww was
foremost with this merit than others, and more rightful.

‫ومنها أن اخللق إذا أقروا للرسول ابلرسالة وأذعنوا له ابلطاعة مل يتكرب أحد منهم عن أن يتبع ولده ويطيع ذريته ومل يتعاظم ذلك يف‬
،‫أنفس الناس‬

And from these is that the people, when they acknowledge to the Rasool -saww with the
Message, and submit to him-saww with the obedience, not one of the would be arrogant from
that his son be followed, and his offspring be obeyed, and that would not be great in the souls
of the people.

‫ ومل تسخ أنفسهم‬،‫ ودخلهم من ذلك الكرب‬،‫وإذا كان يف غري جنس الرسول كان كل واحد منهم يف نفسه أنه أوىل به من غريه‬
.‫ فكان يكون يف ذلك داعية هلم إىل الفساد والنفاق واالختالف‬،‫ابلطاعة ملن هو عندهم دوهنم‬

And if he was from other than the genus of the Rasool-saww, each one of them, would have it
in himself that he is foremost with it than the others, and the arrogance would enter into
them from that, and he would not grime himself with the obedience of the one who was
lower than him in their presence, and there would happen to be in that and invitation for
them to the corruption, and the hypocrisy, and the differing.

‫ منها أنه لو مل جيب عليهم االقرار واملعرفة جلاز أن‬:‫ لعلل‬:‫ فلم وجب عليهم االقرار واملعرفة أبن هللا تعاىل واحد أحد ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
،‫يتومهوا مدبرين أو أكثر من ذلك‬

If he says, ‘Then why is it Obligated upon them, the acknowledgment of that Allah -azwj the
Exalted is One, First?’ It would be said, ‘For (several) reasons, from these Is that, it the
acknowledgment and the recognition had not been Obligated upon them, it would be allowed
that they would have imagined the planners or more than that.

‫ ويطيع غري‬،‫وإذا جاز ذلك مل يهتدوا إىل الصانع هلم من غريه الن كل إنسان منهم كان ال يدري لعله إمنا يعبد غري الذي خلقه‬

.‫الناهي من غريه‬

And, when that is allowed, they would not be guided to the Maker of them from the others,
because every human being from them would not know, perhaps he is worshipping other
than the one who Created him, and he is obeying other than the one Commanded him. So,
they would not be upon a reality of who Made them and Created them, and it would not be
affirmed with them a command of a commander or a prohibition of a prohibiter, when they
do not recognise the command with exactness nor a prohibiter from other than Him-azwj.

‫ ويف إجازة أن يطاع ذلك الشريك إجازة‬،‫ومنها أنه لو جاز أن يكون اثنني مل يكن أحد الشريكني أوىل أبن يعبد ويطاع من اآلخر‬

.‫ وإبطال لكل حق‬،‫ وإابحة كل فساد‬،‫ واخلروج من كل طاعة‬،‫ والدخول يف كل معصية‬،‫وحترمي كل حالل‬

And from these is that, if it was allowed for there to happen to be two, not one of the two
associates would be foremost with being worshipped and obeyed than the other, and it being
allowed to obey that associate is an allowance that he does not obey Allah -azwj, and in not
obeying Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is the Kufr with Allah-azwj and with the entirety of His-
azwj Books and His-azwj Rasools-as, and affirmation of every falsehood, and leaving every truth,

and permission of every prohibition, and prohibition of every permissible, and the entering
into every disobedience, and the exiting from every obedience, and legalisation of every
corruption, and invalidation of every Truth.

‫ ويصرف‬،‫ حىت يضاد هللا تعاىل يف مجيع حكمه‬،‫ومنها أنه لو جاز أن يكون أكثر من واحد جلاز البليس أن يدعي أنه ذلك اآلخر‬
.‫ فيكون يف ذلك أعظم الكفر وأشد النفاق‬،‫العباد إىل نفسه‬

And from these is that, if it was allowed that there happen to be more than one, it would be
allowed for Iblees-la that he-la claims that he-la is the other one, until he-la opposes Allah-azwj the
Exalted in the entirety of His-azwj Judgment, and turns the servants to himself-la, and there
would happen to be in that, the most grievous of the Kufr, and the severest of the hypocrisy.

،‫ منها أن يكونوا قاصدين حنوه ابلعبادة والطاعة دون غريه‬:‫ لعلل‬:‫ فلم وجب عليهم االقرار هلل أبنه ليس كمثله شئ ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
.‫غري مشتبه عليهم أمر رهبم وصانعهم ورازقهم‬

If he says, ‘Then why is it Obligated upon them, the acknowledgment of Allah -azwj, that there
isn’t anything like Him-azwj?’ It would be said, ‘For (several) reasons, from these is that there
would happen to be two aims approximating with the worship and the obedience besides
others, without there being a doubt upon them of the Command of their Lord -azwj and their
Maker and their Sustainer.

‫ومنها أهنم لو مل يعلموا أنه ليس كمثله شئ مل يدروا لعل رهبم وصانعهم هذه االصنام اليت نصبتها هلم آابؤهم والشمس والقمر والنريان‬

.‫يتناهي إليهم من أخبار هذه االرابب وأمرها وهنيها‬

And from these is that if they had known there isn’t anything like Him-azwj, they would not
know perhaps (it was) their Lord-azwj Who Made these idols which their fathers had
established for them, and the sun, and the moon, and the fires, when it was allowed that a
resemblance happen to be upon them, and in that would happen to be the corruption, and
leaving all of His-azwj obedience, and indulging in all of His-azwj disobediences, upon a
measurement of what ends up to them from the news of these lords, and their orders and
their prohibitions.

.‫ ويف ذلك فساد اخللق وإبطال الربوبية‬،‫ووعده وعيده وثوابه وعقابه‬

From these is that, if it was not Obligated upon them that they recognise that there isn’t
anything like Him-azwj, it would be allowed with them that there should flow upon Him-azwj
what flows upon the creatures, from the inabilities, and the ignorance, and the changes, and
the decline, and the perishing, and the lies, and the aggression; and the one upon whom these
things are allowed, would not be safe from his perishing, and would not be reliable with his
justice, and his word and his orders and his prohibition would not be proven true, and his
promises and his threats and his rewards and his punishments; and in that is the corruption
of the creatures and the invalidation of the Lordship.

.‫ النه ال يكون بقاؤهم وصالحهم إال ابالمر والنهي واملنع عن الفساد والتغاصب‬:‫ مل أمر هللا تعاىل العباد وهناهم ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why did Allah-azwj Command the servants and Prohibit them?’ It would be said,
‘Neither their survival nor their correction can happen to be except with the Commands and
the Prohibition, and the prevention from the corruption and the usurpations.

،‫ إذ كان فيه صالحهم وقوامهم‬،‫ وال الهني عن أمره وهنيه‬،‫ وال اتركني الدبه‬،‫ لئال يكونوا انسني لذكره‬:‫ فلم تعبدهم ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
. ‫فلو تركوا بغري تعبد لطال عليهم االمد فقست قلوهبم‬

If he says, ‘Why did He-azwj Enslave them?’ It would be said, ‘Lest they become forgetful of His-
azwj Zikr, nor neglecters of His-azwj Education, nor belittlers of His-azwj Commands and His-azwj

Prohibition, when there was their correction and their standing in it. If they had been left
without servitude, the term would have been prolonged upon them and their hearts would
have hardened.

،‫الفساد‬

If he says, ‘Why did He-azwj Command with the Salat?’ It would be said, ‘Because in the Salat
there is the acceptance of the Lordship, and it is the general correctness because therein is
forsaking the rivals (idols), and the standing in front of the Subduer with the humiliation and
the subjugation and the submissiveness, and the acknowledgment and seeking the dismissal
from the previous sins, and placing the forehead upon the ground every day and night, for
the servant to become a mentioner of Allah-azwj the Exalted, not forgetful of Him-azwj, and
becoming fearful, apprehensive, humiliated, seeker, desirous regarding the increase of the
Religion and the world, along with what is therein from the Rebuke from the corruption.

.‫ وحاجزا ومانعا عن أنواع الفساد‬،‫له عن املعاصي‬

And that comes to be upon him during every day and night, lest the servant forgets his Planner
and his Creator, and he would become haughty and despotic, and for him to become, during
the Zikr of his Creator, and the standing in front of his Lord-azwj, a deterrent for him from the
disobedience, and a veil and prevention from a variety of the corruptions.

،‫ مطيعا له فيما أمره‬،‫ الن يكون العبد طاهر إذا قام بني يدي اجلبار عند مناجاته إايه‬:‫ فلم امروا ابلوضوء وبدئ به ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
.‫ وتزكية الفؤاد للقيام بني يدي اجلبار‬،‫ مع ما فيه من ذهاب الكسل وطرد النعاس‬،‫نقيا من االدانس و النجاسة‬

If he says, ‘So, why have they been Commanded with the Wudu and to begin with it?’ It would
be said, ‘Because the servant would be clean when he stands in front of the Subduer during
his whispering to Him-azwj, obedient in whatever he has been Commanded, pure from the dirt
and the impurities; along with what is therein from the removal of the laziness, and expulsion
of drowsiness, and cleanliness of the heart for the standing in front of the Subduer.

‫ الن العبد إذا قام بني يدي اجلبار فإمنا ينكشف من جوارحه‬:‫ مل وجب ذلك على الوجه واليدين والرأس والرجلني ؟ قيل‬:‫فإن قال‬
‫ وبرأسه يستقبل‬،‫ وبيده يسأل ويرغب (ويرهب ويتبتل ع) وينسك‬،‫ وذلك أنه بوجهه يسجد وخيضع‬،‫ويظهر ما وجب فيه الوضوء‬
.‫ وبرجليه يقوم ويقعد‬،‫يف ركوعه وسجوده‬

If he says, ‘Why is that Obligated upon the face, and the two hands, and the head, and the
two feet?’ It would be said, ‘When the servant stands in front of the Subduer, so rather it is
uncovered from his limbs and there appears what the Wudu has been Obligated upon, and
that is because by his face he prostrates and humbles, and by his hands he asks and wishes
(and is awed and beseeches) and he devotes, and by his head he obtains in his Ruku and his
Sajdah, and by his legs he is standing and sitting.

‫ ومل جيعل ذلك غسال كله أو مسحا كله؟‬،‫ وجعل املسح على الرأس و الرجلني‬،‫ فلم وجب الغسل على الوجه واليدين‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is the washing Obligated upon the face and the two hands, and (only) the
wiping upon the head and the two feet, and that washing is not Made to be for all of it, or
wiping all of it?’

.‫ وإمنا يكون الركوع والسجود ابلوجه واليدين ال ابلرأس والرجلني‬،‫ منها أن العبادة العظمى إمنا هي الركوع والسجود‬:‫ لعلل شىت‬:‫قيل‬

It was said, ‘For a variety of reasons, from these is that the great worship, rather it is the Ruku
and the Sajdah, and rather the Ruku and the Sajdah happens with the face and the two hands,
not with the head and the two feet.

،‫ومنها أن اخللق ال يطيقون يف كل وقت غسل الرأس والرجلني ويشتد ذلك عليهم يف الربد والسفر واملرض وأوقات من الليل والنهار‬
‫ وإمنا وضعت الفرائض على قدر أقل الناس طاقة من أهل الصحة مث عم فيها‬،‫وغسل الوجه واليدين أخف من غسل الرأس والرجلني‬
.‫القوي والضعيف‬

And from these is that the people would not be tolerating during every time, washing the
head and the two feet, and that would be difficult upon them during the cold, and the journey,
and the illness, and timings from the night and the day, while washing of the face and the two
hands is lighter than washing the head and the two feet. And rather, the Obligations have
been placed upon a measurement of the least of the people in strength from the healthy
people, then it was generalised in it of the strength of the weak ones.

.‫ ملوضع العمامة واخلفني وغري ذلك‬،‫ومنها أن الرأس والرجلني ليسا مها يف كل وقت ابديني ظاهرين كالوجه و اليدين‬

And from these is that the head and the two feet, these aren’t manifested during all times in
appearance like the face and the two hands are, for placing of the turban and the two socks
and other than that.

‫ فلم وجب الوضوء مما خرج من الطرفني خاصة ومن النوم دون سائر االشياء ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Then why is the Wudu Obligated from what comes out from the two sides (front
and back) in particular, and from the sleep besides the rest of the things?’

‫ فامروا ابلطهارة عندما تصيبهم‬،‫ وليس لالنسان طريق تصيبه النجاسة من نفسه إال منهما‬،‫ الن الطرفني مها طريق النجاسة‬:‫قيل‬
‫ وأما النوم فإن النائم إذا غلب عليه النوم يفتح كل شئ منه (واسرتخى ع) وكان أغلب االشياء عليه يف‬،‫تلك النجاسة من أنفسهم‬
.‫اخلروج منه الريح فوجب عليه الوضوء هلذه العلة‬

It would be said, ‘Because the two sides, these are a way of the uncleanness, and there isn’t
for the human being a way to attain his impurity from himself except from these two, so they
have been Commanded with the cleanliness at these when they attain those impurities from
themselves. And as for the sleep, so when the sleeper is overcome upon from the sleep, it
opens all things from him and relaxes, and the most overcoming of the things upon him
regarding the exiting from him, is the wind, therefore the Wudu is Obligated upon him for this
reason.

‫ فلم مل يؤمروا ابلغسل من هذه النجاسة كما امروا ابلغسل من اجلنابة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Then why have they been Commanded with the washing from these impurities
just as they have been Commanded with the washing from the sexual impurity?’

‫ واجلنابة ليس هي أمرا‬،‫ وال يكلف هللا نفسا إال وسعها‬،‫ الن هذا شئ دائم غري ممكن للخلق االغتسال منه كلما يصيب ذلك‬:‫قيل‬

Page 86 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

It would be said, ‘Because this thing is permanent, not possible for the people to wash from
it every time that hits, and Allah-azwj does not Encumber a soul except to its capacity; and the
sexual impurity, it is a (non) permanent matter. But rather it is a desire he attains when he
wants, and he is enabled upon hastening it and delaying it for three days, and less and more,
and that isn’t like this.

‫ فلم امروا ابلغسل من اجلنابة ومل يؤمروا ابلغسل من اخلالء وهو أجنس من اجلنابة وأقذر ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Then why have they been Commanded with the washing from the sexual impurity
and not been Commanded with the washing from the defecation, and it is more impure than
the sexual impurity and filthier?’

‫ واخلالء ليس هو من نفس االنسان إمنا هو غذاء‬،‫ من أجل أن اجلنابة من نفس االنسان وهو شئ خيرج من مجيع جسده‬:‫قيل‬
.‫يدخل من ابب و خيرج من ابب‬

It would be said, ‘From a reason that the sexual impurity is from the self of the human being,
and it is something coming out from the entirety of his body, and the faeces isn’t from the
self of the human being, but rather it is the food intake entering from a door and exiting from
a door’.

:‫ يف بعض نسخ علل الشرائع زايدة هي هذه‬:‫أقول‬

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘In one of the copies of (the book) Al Illal Al Sharai’e, there is an addition,
(and) it is this: -

‫ فلم صار االستنجاء فرضا ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

‘If he says, ‘Why did the cleaning from the defecation become an Obligation?’

‫ النه ال جيوز للعبد أن يقوم بني يدي اجلبار وشئ من ثيابه وجسده جنس‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because it is not allowed for the servant that he stands in front of the
Subduer and something from his clothes and his body is unclean’.

.‫ رجعنا إىل كالم الفضل انتهى‬.‫ و إمنا هو سنة‬،‫ غلط الفضل وذلك الن االستنجاء به ليس بفرض‬:‫قال مصنف هذا الكتاب‬
:‫ولنرجع إىل املشرتك بني الكتابني‬

The author of this book (Majlisi) said, ‘Al-Fazl (the narrator) is wrong, and that is because the
cleaning from the defecation with it isn’t an Obligation, and rather it is a Sunnah. And we
return to the ending of the speech of Al Fazl, and let us return to the common between the
two books: -

.‫ابلصالة‬

It would be said, ‘For a lot of reasons, from these is that it would happen to be a reminder for
the forgetful one, and an alert (warning) for the heedless one, and an introduction for the one
ignorant of the time and is too pre-occupied from the Salat, and for that to become an
invitation to the worship of the Creator, wishing in it, accepting to Him-azwj with the Tawheed,
loudness with the Eman, announcing with Al Islam, a proclamation to the one who has
forgotten it, and rather he is called a Muezzin (Proclaimer) because he proclaims with the
Salat.

‫ فلم بدئ فيه ابلتكبري قبل التسبيح والتهليل والتحميد ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘So, why begin in it with the Takbeer before the Glorification and the Extollation
and the Praise?’

‫ ويف التسبيح والتهليل والتحميد اسم هللا يف آخر‬،‫ النه أراد أن يبدأ بذكره وامسه الن اسم هللا تعاىل يف التكبري يف أول احلرف‬:‫قيل‬
.‫احلرف فبدئ ابحلرف الذي اسم هللا يف أوله ال يف آخره‬

It would be said, ‘Because He-azwj Wanted he begins with His-azwj Mention and His-azwj Name,
because the Name of Allah-azwj the Exalted in the Takbeer is the first of the words, and in the
Glorification, and the Extollation and the Praise, the Name of Allah-azwj is the last of the words,
therefore he has to begin with the words which is a Name of Allah-azwj in its beginning of it
and end of it.

‫ فلم جعل مثىن مثىن ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘So why has it been Made to be in twos, twos (pairs)?’

‫ والن الصالة ركعتان ركعتان‬،‫ إن سها أحد عن االول مل يسه عن الثاين‬،‫ مؤكدا عليهم‬،‫ الن يكون مكررا يف آذان املستمعني‬:‫قيل‬
.‫فلذلك جعل االذان مثىن مثىن‬

It would be said, ‘Because it would happen to be repeated in the Azaan (for) the listeners, and
as emphasis upon them if they forget one from the first he would not forget from the second,
and because the Salat is of two Cycles, two Cyles, therefore due to that, the Azaan has been
Made to be two by two’.

‫ فلم جعل التكبري يف أول االذان أربعا ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Takbeer Made to be four in the beginning of the Azaan?’

.‫ وليس قبله كالم يتنبه املستمع له فجعل ذلك تنبيها للمستمعني ملا بعده يف االذان‬،‫ الن أول االذان إمنا يبدو غفلة‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the beginning of the Azaan rather commences (from) the
heedlessness, and there isn’t any speech before it to alert the listener to it, so that has been
Made as an alarm for the listener to what is after it from the Azaan’.

‫ فلم جعل بعد التكبري شهادتني ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Then why have the two testimonies been Made to be after the Takbeer?’

،‫ وأن طاعتهما ومعرفتهما مقرونتان‬،‫ والثاين االقرار ابلرسول ابلرسالة‬،‫ الن أول االميان التوحيد واالقرار ابهلل عزوجل ابلوحدانية‬:‫قيل‬
،‫ فجعل شهادتني يف االذان كما جعل يف سائر احلقوق شهادتني‬،‫وأن أصل االميان إمنا هو الشهادة‬

It would be said, ‘Because the beginning of the Eman is the Tawheed, and the acceptance with
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with the Oneness, and the second is the acceptance with
Rasool-Allah-saww with the Message, and that obeying them both and recognising them are
paired, and that the origin of the Eman rather, it is the testimony. Therefore, the two
testimonies have been Made to be in the Azaan just as it has been Made to be in the rest of
the rights of the two testimonies.

.‫ الن أصل االميان إمنا هو االقرار ابهلل وبرسوله‬،‫فإذا أقر هلل ابلوحدانية وأقر للرسول ابلرسالة فقد أقر جبملة االميان‬

So, when one accepts for Allah-azwj with the Oneness, and accepts to the Rasool-saww with the
Message, so he has accepted with the totality of the Eman, because the origin of the Eman
rather, it is the acceptance with Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Rasool-saww’.

‫ فلم جعل بعد الشهادتني الدعاء إىل الصالة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the supplication in the Salat Made to be after the two testimonies?’

‫ فجعل النداء إىل الصالة يف وسط االذان فقدم املؤذن قبلها‬،‫ الن االذان إمنا وضع ملوضع الصالة وإمنا هو نداء إىل الصالة‬:‫قيل‬

.‫هللا تعاىل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Azaan rather has been Placed to Place the Salat, and rather it
is a call to the Salat, therefore the call to the Salat has been Made to be in the middle of the
Azaan – so the proclaimer would precede before it, four – the two Takbeers, and the two
testimonies, and delay after it four, calling to the success, urging upon the righteousness and
the Salat, then calling to the best of the deeds, being fearful in it and in its action and in its
fulfilment. Then he calls with the Takbeer and the Extollation to come after it, four, just as he
had completed four before it, and to end his speech by the Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted just as
he had begun with the Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted.

Made to be at its end just as the Takbeer has been Made to be at its beginning?’

.‫ الن التهليل اسم هللا يف آخره فأحب هللا تعاىل أن خيتم الكالم ابمسه كما فتحه ابمسه‬:‫قيل‬

and the greatest of the Glorification and the Praise.

worship with the Praise and the Extollation of Holiness, and the fear, and the hope, and end
with the like of that, for it to become in the standing at the Qunoot prolonging, rather than

just as it Obligated for Him-azwj being the King of the world.

" ‫" إايك نعبد " رغبة وتقرب إىل هللا عزوجل وإخالص ابلعمل له دون غريه‬

(It is) You we worship [1:5] – being an awe and drawing closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and
Majestic, and the sincerity with the deed to Him-azwj besides others.

And You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5] – being a desire for the increase from His-azwj
Inclination, and His-azwj worship, and continuation of what He-azwj has Favoured upon him and
Helped him.

" ‫" اهدان الصراط املستقيم " اسرتشاد الدبه واعتصام حببله واستزادة يف املعرفة بربه وبعظمته وكربايئه‬

Guide us to be on the Straight Path [1:6] – being (a desire to be) guided to His-azwj Education,
and holding fast to His-azwj Rope, and desiring an increase in the recognition of his Lord -azwj,
and His-azwj Magnificence and His-azwj Greatness.

" ‫ ورغبة يف ذلك النعم‬،‫ وذكر ملا قد تقدم من نعمه على أوليائه‬،‫صراط الذين أنعمت عليهم " توكيد يف السؤال والرغبة‬

The path of those You have Bestowed Bounties upon [1:7] – being an emphasis in the
question and the desire, and mention of what had preceded from His-azwj Favour upon His-azwj
Guardians-asws, and a desire regarding that Favour.

" ‫ املستخفني به وأبمره وهنيه‬،‫غري املغضوب عليهم " استعاذة من أن يكون من املعاندين الكافرين‬

other than of those You are Wrathful upon – being a seeking of refuge from becoming from
the obstinate ones, the Kafirs, the belittlers with His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibitions.

‫ وهم حيسبون أهنم حيسنون صنعا‬،‫وال الضالني " اعتصام من أن يكون من الضالني الذين ضلوا عن سبيله من غري معرفة‬

nor of the straying ones – being a protection from becoming from the straying ones, those
who strayed from His-azwj Way without recognition, and they are reckoning that they are
good in what they do?’ [18:104].

.‫فقد اجتمع فيه من جوامع اخلري واحلكمة يف أمر اآلخرة والدنيا ما ال جيمعه شئ من االشياء‬

So, there has been gathered in it from the entirety of the good and the Wisdom regarding the
matter of the Hereafter and the world, what has not been gathered in anything from the
things’.

‫ فلم جعل التسبيح يف الركوع والسجود ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Glorification Made to be in the Ruku and the Sajdah?’

It would be said, ‘For (several) reasons, from these is that the servant would happen to be
with his humbleness, and his fear, and his worship and his piety, and his steadfastness, and
his subservience to Allah-azwj, and revering Him-azwj, and drawing closer to his Lord-azwj,
extolling His-azwj Holiness, glorifying, praising, revering, thanking to his Creator and his
Sustainer, and let him utilise the Glorification and the Praises just as he utilised the Takbeer
and the Extollations of Holiness, and let him pre-occupy his hear and his mind with the Zikr of
Allah-azwj, so that the thinking and the hopes will not be taking him to other than Allah-azwj’.

‫ فلم جعل أصل الصالة ركعتني ؟ ومل زيد على بعضها ركعة وعلى بعضها ركعتان ومل يزد على بعضها شئ ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the origin of the Salat Made to be of two Cycles? And why is there an
increase upon some of it by one Cycle, and some of it by two Cycles, and there is no increase
upon one of it, by anything?’

‫ فعلم هللا عزوجل أن‬،‫ فإذا نقصت من واحد فليست هي صالة‬،‫ الن أصل الصالة إمنا هي ركعة واحدة الن أصل العدد واحد‬:‫قيل‬
‫ فقرن إليها ركعة ليتم ابلثانية ما نقص‬،‫العباد ال يؤدون تلك الركعة الواحدة اليت ال صالة أقل منها بكماهلا ومتامها واالقبال عليها‬
،‫ ففرض هللا عزوجل أصل الصالة ركعتني‬،‫من االوىل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the origin of the Salat, rather, it is one Cycle, because the origin of
the number is one, so when it is deficient from one, then it isn’t a Salat. Allah-azwj mighty and
Majestic Knew that the servant would not be fulfilling that one Cycle which it not a Salat if
less than it, with its perfection, and its completion, nor being devoted upon it, so He-azwj Paired
one Cycle to it to be completed with the second whatever was deficient from the first.
Therefore, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Obligated the origin of the Salat as being of two
Cycles.

‫مث علم رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله أن العباد ال يؤدون هاتني الركعتني بتمام ما امروا به وكماله فضم إىل الظهر والعصر والعشاء‬
،‫ ليكون فيهما متام الركعتني االوليني‬،‫اآلخرة ركعتني ركعتني‬

Then, Rasool-Allah-saww knew that the servants would not be fulfilling these two Cycles what
they have been Commanded with, and its perfection, so he -saww joined to Al-Zohr and al-Asr
and the last Al-Isha, two Cycles, two Cycles, for them to become regarding these two as
completion of the two first Cycles.

،‫مث علم أن صالة املغرب يكون شغل الناس يف وقتها أكثر لالنصراف إىل االوطان (االفطار خ ل) واالكل والوضوء والتهيئة للمبيت‬
،‫ والن تصري ركعات الصالة يف اليوم والليلة فردا‬،‫فزاد فيها ركعة واحدة ليكون أخف عليهم‬

Then he-saww knew that Al-Maghrib Salat, the people would happen to be pre-occupied during
its timing more that due to their dispersals to their homes (the breaking of Fasts), and the
meals, and the Wudu, and the preparation for the night, therefore he-saww (only) increase in
it by one Cycle for it to become lighter upon them, and because the Cycles of the Salat become
individualised during the day and the night.

‫ واملبادرة إىل احلوائج فيها أعم والن القلوب فيها أخال من الفكر لقلة‬،‫مث ترك الغداة على حاهلا الن االشتغال يف وقتها أكثر‬
‫ فاالنسان فيها أقبل على صالته منه يف غريها من الصلوات الن الفكر أقل لعدم‬،‫ ولقلة االخذ و االعطاء‬،‫معامالت الناس ابلليل‬
.‫العمل من الليل‬

Then he-saww left the morning Salat upon its state, because of the pre-occupations during its
timing is more, and the planning for the needs during it is general, and because the hearts are
vacant during it from the thoughts, due to the scarcity of the dealing of the people at night,
and due to the scarcity of the taking and the giving. Thus, the human being during it, is more
devoted upon his Salat from it than he is from others from the Salats, because the thoughts
are less, due to the absence of the work from the night’.

‫ فلم جعل التكبري يف االستفتاح سبع مرات ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Takbeer Made to be seven times during the opening (of the Salat)?’

‫ تكبرية‬:‫ وإمنا جعل ذلك الن التكبري يف الركعة االوىل اليت هي االصل كله سبع تكبريات‬،‫ وسائرها سنة‬،‫ الن الفرض منها واحد‬:‫قيل‬
‫ فإذا كرب االنسان أول الصالة سبع تكبريات‬،‫ وتكبريتني للسجود‬،‫ وتكبرية أيضا للركوع‬،‫ وتكبرييت السجود‬،‫ وتكبرية الركوع‬،‫االستفتاح‬
.‫ فإن سها يف شئ منها أو تركها مل يدخل عليه نقص يف صالته‬،‫فقد أحرز التكبري كله‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Obligatory from these is one, and the rest of these are Sunnah.
And rather, that is Made to be as such because the Takbeer in the first Cycle which is the
origin, all of it are seven Takbeers – Takbeer of the opening, and Takbeer of the Ruku, and two
Takbeers of the Sajdahs, and a Takbeer as well for the Ruku, and two Takbeers for the Sajdahs.
So, when the human being does the Takbeer at the beginning of the Salat by seven Takbeers,
so he has protected the Takbeers, all of it, so if he were to forget anything from these, or
leaves it, no deficiency would enter upon him regarding his Salat’.

‫ مث‬،‫ من كرب أول صالته سبع تكبريات أجزأه وجيزي تكبرية واحدة‬:‫ ويف العلل كما قال أبو جعفر وأبو عبد هللا عليهما السالم‬:‫أقول‬
،‫إن مل يكرب يف شئ من صالته أجزأه عنه ذلك وإمنا عىن بذلك إذا تركها ساهيا أو انسيا‬

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And during the night, just as Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws have
said: ‘One who exclaims a Takbeer at the beginning of his Salat by seven Takbeers, it would
suffice him, and he can suffice with one Takbeer. Then if he does not exclaim a Takbeer in
anything from his Salat, that would suffice him from it, and rather what is meant by that is
when he leaves it mistakenly or out of forgetfulness’.

‫ رجعنا إىل‬:‫ أقول‬.‫ رجعنا إىل كالم الفضل‬.‫ غلط الفضل إن تكبرية االفتتاح فريضة وإمنا هي سنة واجبة‬:‫قال مصنف هذا الكتاب‬
:‫املشرتك‬

The author of this book (Majlisi) says, ‘Al Fazl is wrong. The Takbeers at the opening is an
Obligation, and rather it is an Obligatory Sunnah. We return to the speech of Al Fazl’. I am
saying, we return to the common: -

‫ فلم جعل ركعة وسجدتني ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has one Cycle been Made to be with two Sajdahs?’

‫ فضوعف السجود ليستوي‬،‫ وصالة القاعد على النصف من صالة القيام‬،‫ والسجود من فعل القعود‬،‫ الن الركوع من فعل القيام‬:‫قيل‬
.‫ابلركوع فال يكون بينهما تفاوت الن الصالة إمنا هي ركوع وسجود‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Ruku is from the action of the standing, and the Sajdah is from
the action of the sitting, and a Salat of the sitting one is upon half from the Salat of the
standing one, therefore the Sajdahs have been double in order to equate with the Ruku, so
there would not happen to be any difference between the two, because the Salat rather, it is
Ruku and Sajdah’.

‫ فلم جعل التشهد بعد الركعتني ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why as the Tashahhud Made to be after the two Cycles?’

.‫ النه كما قدم قبل الركوع والسجود االذان والدعاء والقراءة فكذلك أيضا أمر بعدها ابلتشهد والتحميد والدعاء‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because just as the Ruku and the Sajdahs were preceded by the Azaan, and
the supplication, and the recitation, similar to that as well He-azwj Commanded after it with
the Tashahhud, and the praising, and the supplicating’.

‫ أو ضراب آخر ؟‬،‫ فلم جعل التسليم حتليل الصالة ومل جيعل بدله تكبريا أو تسبيحا‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Salaam Made to be permissible of the Salat, and there were not Made
to be in replacement to it, a Takbeer, or a Glorification, or another thing?’

،‫ النه ملا كان يف الدخول يف الصالة حترمي الكالم للمخلوقني و التوجه إىل اخلالق كان حتليلها كالم املخلوقني واالنتقال عنها‬:‫قيل‬
.‫وابتداء املخلوقني ابلكالم إمنا هو ابلتسليم‬

It would be said, ‘Because, when it was in the entry into the Salat, a prohibition of the speech
of the creatures and devoting to the Creator, its permissibility of the speech of the creatures
and the transmitting from it, and the beginning of the creatures with the speech, rather it is
with the Salaam’.

‫ فلم جعل القراءة يف الركعتني االوليني والتسبيح يف االخريني ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why did the recitation Made to be in the first two Cycles, and the Glorification in
the last two?’

.‫ للفرق بني ما فرضه هللا عزوجل من عنده وما فرضه من عند رسوله‬:‫قيل‬

Page 95 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

It would be said, ‘For the differentiation between what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic
Obligated from His-azwj Presence, and what is obligated from the presence of His-azwj Rasool-
saww’.

‫ فلم جعلت اجلماعة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the congregational Salat Made to be?’

‫ الن يف إظهاره حجة على أهل الشرق‬،‫ الن ال يكون االخالص والتوحيد واالسالم و العبادة هلل إال ظاهرا مكشوفا مشهودا‬:‫قيل‬
‫ ولتكون شهادات الناس ابالسالم بعضهم‬،‫ وليكون املنافق املستخف مؤداي ملا أقر به يظهر االسالم واملراقبة‬،‫والغرب هلل عزوجل‬
.‫ مع ما فيه من املساعدة على الرب والتقوى والزجر عن كثري من معاصي هللا عزوجل‬،‫لبعض جائزة ممكنة‬

It would be said, ‘Because there cannot happen to be the sincerity, and the Tawheed, and Al
Islam, and the worship of Allah-azwj, except manifestly, uncovered, witnessed, because in its
manifestation is an argument upon the people of the east and the west for Allah -azwj Mighty
and Majestic, and for the hypocrite to become fearful, fulfilling to what he has accepted with
it apparently of Al Islam and the monitoring, and for the testimonies of the people to become
with Al Islam, allowed for each other, possible, along with what is therein from the helping
upon the righteousness and the piety, and the rebuke from many of the acts of disobedience
to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.

‫ فلم جعل اجلهر يف بعض الصالة ومل جيعل يف بعض ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the loudness Made to be in one Salat and not Made to be in one?’

‫ الن مير املار فيعلم أن ههنا‬،‫ الن الصلوات اليت جيهر فيها إمنا هي صلوات تصلى يف أوقات مظلمة فوجب أن جيهر فيها‬:‫قيل‬
،‫ والنه إن مل ير مجاعة تصلي مسع وعلم ذلك من جهة السماع‬،‫ فإن أراد أن يصلي صلى‬،‫مجاعة‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Salats which has loudness in it, rather it is the Salat being
prayed in the darkness, so the loudness is Obligated in it, because the passer-by would pass
by and he would know that over here is a congregation, so if he wants to pray Salat he can do
so, and because if he does not see a congregation praying Salat, he would hear and know that
from the direction of the hearing.

.‫ فال حيتاج فيها إىل السماع‬،‫ ويف أوقات مضيئة فهي تدرك من جهة الرؤية‬،‫والصالاتن اللتان ال جيهر فيهما فإهنما ابلنهار‬

And the two Salats in which there is no loudness, these are by the day, and in a timing of
illumination, so it is realised from a direction of the sighting, therefore it is needy to be heard’.

‫ فلم جعلت الصلوات يف هذه االوقات ومل تقدم ومل تؤخر ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why have the Salat Made to be during these timings and were not brought
forwards nor delayed?’

،‫ غروب الشمس معروف جتب عنده املغرب‬:‫ الن االوقات املشهورة املعلومة اليت تعم أهل االرض فيعرفها اجلاهل والعامل أربعة‬:‫قيل‬
‫ وزوال الشمس مشهور معلوم‬،‫ وطلوع الفجر مشهور معلوم جتب عنده الغداة‬،‫وسقوط الشفق مشهور جتب عنده العشاء اآلخرة‬
،‫ ومل يكن للعصر وقت معروف مشهور مثل هذه االوقات االربعة فجعل وقتها عند الفراغ من الصالة اليت قبلها‬،‫جتب عنده الظهر‬

It would be said, ‘Because the timings which are well known prevail among the people of the
earth and these are recognised by the ignorant one and the knowledgeable one are four –
The setting of the sun is well known, during which Al Maghrib (Salat) is Obligated, and the fall
of the twilight is well known during which the last Isha (Salat) is Obligated, and the emergence
of the dawn is well known Obligating the morning (Salat) during it, and the decline of the sun
(Midday) is well known Obligating Al Zohr (Salat) during it, and there does not happen to be
any well known time for Al Asr like these four timings, therefore its timing is Made to be
during being free from the Salat which is before it.

‫ فأمرهم أول النهار أن يبدؤوا بعبادته مث ينتشروا‬،‫وعلة اخرى أن هللا عزوجل أحب أن يبدأ الناس يف كل عمل أوال بطاعته وعبادته‬
،‫ فأوجب صالة الغداة عليهم‬،‫فيما أحبوا من مرمة دنياهم‬

And another reason is that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loved the people begging in every
action, first with His-azwj obedience and His-azwj worship, so He-azwj Commanded them for the
beginning of the day that they begin with worshipping Him-azwj, then they should disperse
regarding whatever they like from the correction of the worldly affairs, and Obligated the
morning Salat upon them.

،‫ ويشتغلون بطعامهم وقيلولتهم‬،‫ ويسرتحيون‬،‫فإذا كان نصف النهار و تركوا ما كانوا فيه من الشغل وهو وقت يضع الناس فيه ثياهبم‬
،‫ مث يتفرغوا ملا أحبوا من ذلك‬،‫فأمرهم أن يبدؤوا أوال بذكره وعبادته فأوجب عليهم الظهر‬

When it would be the midday and they leave whatever they were involved in from the
occupation, and it is a time in which the people place down their clothes and they are resting
and are pre-occupied with their meal and their naps, so He-azwj Commanded that they begin
first with His-azwj Zikr and His-azwj worship, and He-azwj Obligated Al Zohr (Salat) upon them,
then they would be free to do whatever they like from that.

،‫ مث صاروا إىل ما أحبوا من ذلك فأوجب عليهم العصر‬،‫فإذا قضوا وطرهم وأرادوا االنتشار يف العلم آلخر النهار بدؤوا أيضا بعبادته‬
‫مث ينتشرون فيما شاؤوا من مرمة دنياهم‬

So, when they have fulfilled their aims and want the dispersal in the world at the end of the
day, they would begin as well with His-azwj worship, then they can go to whatever they like
from that, and He-azwj Obligated Al Asr (Salat) upon them, then they should disperse regarding
whatever they like from the affairs of their world.

،‫ مث يتفرغون ملا أحبوا من ذلك فأوجب عليهم املغرب‬،‫فإذا جاء الليل ووضعوا زينتهم وعادوا إىل أوطاهنم ابتدؤوا أوال بعبادة رهبم‬

Page 97 of 380
Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

So, when the night comes and they place down their adornments and return to their houses,
they should begin first with the worship of their Lord-azwj, then they would be free for
whatever they like from that, and He-azwj Obligated Al Maghrib (Salat) upon them.

‫فإذا جاء وقت النوم وفرغوا مما كانوا به مشتغلني أحب أن يبدؤوا أوال بعبادته وطاعته مث يصريون إىل ما شاؤوا أن يصريوا إليه من‬
‫ذلك‬

So, when the time of sleep comes, and they are free from whatever they were busy with, He-
azwj Loved that they should begging first with His-azwj worship and His-azwj obedience, then they

can go to whatever they so desire to, and be coming to it from that.

‫ فأوجب عليهم العتمة فإذا فعلوا ذلك مل ينسوه ومل يغفلوا عنه ومل تقس قلوهبم ومل تقل‬،‫فيكونوا قد بدؤوا يف كل عمل بطاعته وعبادته‬
.‫رغبتهم‬

Thus, they would have become beginning in every action with obeying Him -azwj and
worshipping Him-azwj, so it was Obligated upon them the darkness (Night Salat). So, when they
do that, they would not forget Him-azwj and would not be heedless from Him-azwj, and their
hearts would not harden, and their desired would not lessen’.

‫ أو بني‬،‫ ومل يوجبها بني العتمة والغداة‬،‫ فلم إذا مل يكن للعصر وقت مشهور مثل تلك االوقات أوجبها بني الظهر واملغرب‬:‫فإن قال‬
‫الغداة والظهر ؟‬

If he says, ‘Then why did does there not happen to be a well-known time for Al Asr like those
timings Obligated between Al Zohr and Al Maghrib, and not Obligated between the darkness
and the morning, or between the morning and Al Zohr?’

‫ وذلك أن‬،‫ النه ليس وقت على الناس أخف وال أيسر وال أحرى أن يعم فيه الضعيف والقوي هبذه الصالة من هذا الوقت‬:‫قيل‬
،‫ وإقامة االسواق‬،‫الناس عامتهم يشتغلون يف أول النهار ابلتجارات واملعامالت والذهاب يف احلوائج‬

It would be said, ‘Because there isn’t any time upon the people, scarier, nor more difficult,
nor more appropriate that the weak ones and the strong ones would prevail in it with these
Salat from this time, and that is because the people, the generality of them are busy during
the beginning of the day with the trading and the dealing and the going regarding the needs,
and established the markets.

‫فأراد أن ال يشغلهم عن طلب معاشهم ومصلحة دنياهم وليس يقدر اخللق كلهم على قيام الليل وال يشعرون به وال ينتبهون لوقته‬
‫ وال ميكنهم ذلك‬،‫لو كان واجبا‬

He-azwj Wanted that He-azwj should not pre-occupy them from seeking their livelihoods and the
interest of their worldly affairs, and not all the people are able upon standing at night (for
Salat), nor be aware with it nor pay attention to its timing, if it was Obligatory, nor is that
possible.

".‫هللا بكم اليسر وال يريد بكم العسر‬

So, Allah-azwj the Exalted Lightened from them, and did not Make these timing more difficulties
upon them, but Made it to be during the lightest of the timings upon them, just as Allah -azwj
Mighty and Majestic Said: Allah Wants ease with you, and He does not Want the difficulty
with you [2:185]’’.

‫ فلم يرفع اليدان يف التكبري ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why raise the two hands during the Takbeer?’

.‫ والن يف وقت رفع اليدين احضار النية وإقبال القلب على ما قال وقصد‬،‫مبتهال‬

It would be said, ‘Because raising the two hands, it is a type from the invocations, and the
devotion and the beseeching, so Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Obligated that the servant
happens to be during a time of His-azwj Zikr, devotional, beseecher, invoking, and because
during the time of raising the two hands is the beginning of the intention, and devoting the
heart upon what he says and aims for’.

‫ فلما أن كان يف االستفتاح الذي‬،‫ الن الفرض من الذكر إمنا هو االستفتاح وكل سنة فإمنا تؤدى على جهة الفرض‬:‫ يف العلل‬:‫أقول‬
.‫ ولنرجع إىل املشرتك‬.‫هو الفرض رفع اليدين أحب أن يؤدوا السنة على جهة ما يؤدون الفرض‬

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘In Illal (Al Sharai’e): ‘Because the Obligation from the Zikr rather, it is
the opening, and every Sunnah is rather fulfilled upon a direction of the Obligation. So, when
he would be in the opening which is the Obligation, his raising the hands would be more
beloved that his fulfilling the Sunnah upon an aspect of what he would fulfil from the
Obligation. And let us return to the common:

‫ فلم جعل صالة السنة أربعا وثالثني ركعة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Sunnah Salat Made to be of thirty-four Cycles?’

.‫ كماال للفريضة‬،‫ الن الفريضة سبع عشر ركعة فجعلت السنة مثلي الفريضة‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Obligation is of seventeen Cycles, and the Sunnah is Made to
be twice like the Obligatory, perfecting for the Obligatory’.

‫ ومل جتعل يف وقت واحد ؟‬،‫ فلم جعل صالة السنة يف أوقات خمتلفة‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why were the Sunnah Salats Made to be in different timings, and were not Made
to be during one time?’

.‫النه إذا فرقت السنة يف أوقات شىت كان أداؤها أيسر وأخف من أن جتمع كلها يف وقت واحد‬

It would be said, ‘Because the superior timings are three – At the decline of the sun (midday),
and after Al Maghrib, and before day-break, so He-azwj Loved it that he prays Salat to Him-azwj
during each of these three timings, because when the Sunnah is separated during various
times, its fulfilment would be easier and lighter than if all of these were to be gathered in one
time’.

‫ وإذا كانت بغري إمام ركعتني وركعتني ؟‬،‫ فلم صارت صالة اجلمعة إذا كانت مع االمام ركعتني‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why did the Friday Salat, with it was with the Imam-asws, come to be of two Cycles,
and when it was without an Imam-asws, it is two Cycles, two Cycles?’

.‫ فأحب هللا عزوجل أن خيفف عنهم ملوضع التعب الذي صاروا إليه‬،‫ منها أن الناس يتخطون إىل اجلمعة من بعد‬:‫ لعلل شىت‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘For various reasons, from these it that the people are walking towards the
Friday Salat from afterwards, so Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loved to Lighten from them
due to the placing of the tiredness which they would be coming to.

.‫ ومن انتظر الصالة فهو يف صالة يف حكم التمام‬،‫ومنها أن االمام حيبسهم للخطبة وهم منتظرون للصالة‬

And from these is that the Imam-asws would withhold them for the sermon while they are
awaiting the Salat, and one who await the Salat, so he is in a Salat in the complete Ordinances.

.‫ومنها أن الصالة مع االمام أمت وأكمل لعلمه وفقهه وعدله وفضله‬

And from these is that the Salat is with the Imam-asws, complete and perfect due to his-asws
knowledge, and his-asws understanding, and his-asws justice, and his merit.

.‫ ومل تقصر ملكان اخلطبتني‬،‫ومنها أن اجلمعة عيد وصالة العيد ركعتان‬

deficient in place of the two sermons’.

them desirous regarding the obedience, and making them fearful from the disobedience, and
inclining them upon what is required from the interests of their Religion and their world, and

.‫من أمره وهنيه ما فيه الصالح والفساد‬

It would be said, ‘Because one would happen to be for the Praises and the Glorification and
the Extollation of Holiness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the other one would be for
the needs, and the excuses (Forgiveness) and the warnings, and the supplications, and
whatever he-asws want to teach them from His-azwj Commands and His-azwj Prohibition in which
is the correction and the corruption’.

‫ وجعلت يف العيدين بعد الصالة ؟‬،‫ فلم جعلت اخلطبة يوم اجلمعة قبل الصالة‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Friday sermon Made to be before the Salat, and in the two Eids it
Made to be after the Salat?’

‫ فإذا كثر ذلك على الناس ملوا وتركوا ومل يقيموا عليه وتفرقوا عنه‬،‫ وتكون يف الشهر مرارا ويف السنة كثريا‬،‫ الن اجلمعة أمر دائم‬:‫قيل‬
،‫فجعلت قبل الصالة ليحتبسوا على الصالة وال يتفرقوا وال يذهبوا‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Friday is a permanent matter and it happens repeatedly during
the month and a lot during the year. So, when that is a lot upon the people, they would be
fed up and leave and would not be standing upon it, and they would separate from it, so it
has been Made to be before the Salat in order to withhold them upon the Salat and they
would neither be dispersing nor going away.

‫ فإن تفرق بعض الناس بقي‬،‫ والناس فيه أرغب‬،‫ ) وهو أعظم من اجلمعة والزحام فيه أكثر‬5( ‫وأما العيدين فإمنا هو يف السنة مرتني‬
.‫ وليس هو بكثري فيملوا ويستخفوا به‬،‫عامتهم‬

And as for the two Eids, rather these are only twice during the year, and it is greater than the
Friday, and the crowd is more during it, and the people are desirous during it, so even if some
of the people disperse, the generality of them would remain, and it isn’t a lot so they would
be fed up and take lightly with it’.

.‫وقد أحدث ما أحدث ؟ فقدم اخلطبتني ليقف الناس انتظارا للصالة فال يتفرقوا عنه‬

The author of this book (Majlisi) says, ‘This is his book, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him. The
Hadeeth has come like this: ‘And the two sermons during the Friday and the two Eids after
the Salat, because these are at the status of the two Cycles (of Salat) and two others, and the
first one to bring forward the two sermons was Usman Bin Affan, because when he innovated
what he innovated, the people were not pausing upon his sermons, and they were saying,
‘What have we to do with his sermons and he has innovated what he innovated?’ So, he
brought forward the two sermons to stop the people who were waiting for the Salat, so they
would not disperse from him’.

‫ فلم وجبت اجلمعة على من يكون على فرسخني ال أكثر من ذلك ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why was the Friday (Salat) Obligated upon the one who happens to be two
Farsakhs and not more than that?’

‫ والربيد أربعة فراسخ فوجبت اجلمعة على من هو على نصف‬،‫ الن ما يقصر فيه الصالة بريدان ذاهبا أو بريد ذاهبا وجائيا‬:‫قيل‬
.‫ وذلك أنه جيئ فرسخني ويذهب فرسخني فذلك أربعة فراسخ وهو نصف طريق املسافر‬،‫الربيد الذي جيب فيه التقصري‬

It would be said, ‘Because whatever is deficient from two Bareeds, or a Bareed going and
coming, and the Bareed, it is of four Farsakhs, so the Friday (Salat) is Obligated upon the one
who was upon a half of the Bareed in which the shortening is Obligated, and that is because
he would come two Farsakhs and go two Farsakhs, and that would be four Farsakhs, and it is
half the road of the traveller’.

‫ فلم زيد يف صالة السنة يوم اجلمعة أربع ركعات ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is there an increase in the Sunnah Salat on the day of Friday by four Cycles?’

It would be said, ‘In reverence to that day, and differentiating between it and the rest of the
days’.

If he says, ‘Why shorten the Salat during the journey?’

‫ فخفف هللا عنه تلك الزايدة ملوضع سفره وتعبه‬،‫ والسبع إمنا زيدت فيها بعد‬،‫ الن الصالة املفروضة أوال إمنا هي عشر ركعات‬:‫قيل‬

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

It would be said, ‘Because the Obligatory Salat is foremost. But rather, it is ten Cycles, and the
seven have rather been increased in it afterwards (by Rasool-Allah-saww), so Allah-azwj
Lightened from him, that increase, due to the subject of his travels and h is tiredness and his
setting, and his pre-occupation with the matter of his self, and his thirst, and his staying, lest
he would be too pre-occupied from what these is no escape from his livelihood, as a Mercy
from Allah-azwj the Exalted and a Kindness upon him, except for the Maghrib Salat, for it is not
to be shortened because it is a Salat shortened already it the origin’.

‫ فلم جيب التقصري يف مثانية فراسخ ال أقل من ذلك وال أكثر ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is the shortening Obligated in eight Farsakhs, neither less from that nor
more?’

.‫ الن مثانية فراسخ مسرية يوم للعامة والقوافل واالثقال فوجب التقصري يف مسرية يوم‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the eight Farsakhs is a journey of a day, for the public, and the
convoys, and the loads, so the shortening is Obligated in the travel distance of a day’.

‫ فلم وجب التقصري يف مسرية يوم ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is the shortening Obligated in the travel distance of a day?’

.‫جيب يف هذا اليوم ملا وجب يف نظريه إذا كان نظريه مثله ال فرق بينهما‬

It would be said, ‘Because if it had not been Obligated in a travel distance of a day it would
not have been Obligated in the travel distance of a year, and that is because every day
happens after this day, and rather it would be a match of this day, so if it is not Obligated in
this day, it would not be Obligated in its matching one, when its matching one was like it,
there being no difference between the two’.

‫ قد خيتلف السري فلم جعلت أنت مسرية يوم مثانية فراسخ ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘The travels (speeds) differ, so why have you made the journey of a day to be of
eight Farsakhs?’

.‫ الن مثانية فراسخ هي مسري اجلمال والقوافل وهو السري الذي يسريه اجلمالون واملكارون‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Eight Farsakhs, it is a travelling of the camel, and the convoys, and it is the
travel distance which the cameleers and the camel hirers travel’.

.‫وكذلك الغداة ال تقصري فيما قبلها من التطوع‬

It would be said, ‘Because every Salat cannot be shortened in it, there is no shortening in its
voluntary ones, and that is because the Maghrib, there is no shortening in it, and there would
be no shortening in what is after it from the voluntary ones, and like that is the morning, there
would be no shortening in what is before it from the voluntary (Salat)’.

‫ فما ابل العتمة مقصرة وليس ترتك ركعتاها ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

the beginning of the night?’

.‫ ويشتغل املسافر أبشغاله وارحتاله وسفره‬،‫ فيسرتيح املريض يف وقت راحته‬،‫قيل الشتغاله وضعفه ليحرز صالته‬

It would be said, ‘For his pre-occupation and his weakness of protecting his Salats, so the sick
one can rest in the time of his rest, and the busy traveller can be busy with his departure and
his journey’.

‫ فلم امروا ابلصالة على امليت ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

It would be said, ‘In order to intercede for him and supplicate for him with the Forgiveness,
because there is no time from the timings is he needier to the interceding in it and seeking of
the Forgiveness, than that time’.

It would be said, ‘The five are rather taken from the five Salats during the day and the night’.

‫ وذلك أنه ليس يف الصالة تكبرية مفروضة إال تكبرية االفتتاح فجمعت التكبريات املفروضات يف اليوم والليلة‬:‫ يف العلل‬:‫أقول‬
.‫ ولنرجع على املشرتك‬.‫فجعلت صالة على امليت‬

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘In (the book) Al Illal (Al Sharaie): ‘And that is because there isn’t any
Takbeer in the Obligatory Salat except for the opening Takbeer, so the Obligatory Takbeers
have been gathered during the day and the night, and Made as the Salat upon the deceased.

.‫ النه إمنا يريد هبذه الصالة الشفاعة هلذا العبد الذي قد ختلى مما خلف واحتاج إىل ما قدم‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the intercession is intended with this Salat to this servant who has
been emptied from what he has left behind, and is needy to what is to come’.

calamity, and the hurtful (matters), so He-azwj Loved the he should happen to be clean when
he meets the clean ones from the Angels, those who categorise him and touch him in what is
clean between them, Directing with it to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and there isn’t from

(beginning) of the year in which is Determined whatever would be happening during the year,
from good or evil, or harmful or beneficial, or sustenance, or death, and for that it is named
as Night of Pre-determination’.

‫ فلم امروا بصوم شهر رمضان ال أقل من ذلك وال أكثر ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why were they Commanded with Fasting the Month of Ramazan, neither less than
that nor more?’

‫ مث رخص الهل‬،‫ وإمنا أوجب هللا تعاىل الفرائض على أغلب االشياء وأعم القوى‬،‫ النه قوة العباد اليت يعم فيها القوي والضعيف‬:‫قيل‬
.‫ ولو احتاجوا إىل أكثر من ذلك لزادهم‬،‫ ولو كانوا يصلحون على أقل من ذلك لنقصهم‬،‫الضعف ورغب أهل القوة يف الفضل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the strength of the servants regarding which are generalised the
strong and the weak, and rather Allah-azwj the Exalted Obligated the Obligations upon the most
overcoming of the things and the strongest. Then He-azwj Allowed for the weak and Made the
strong people being desirous regarding the merits, and if they could have been corrected
upon less than that, He-azwj would have Reduced for them, and if they were needy to more
than that, He-azwj would Increase for them’.

‫ فلم إذا حاضت املرأة ال تصوم وال تصلي ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the woman been particularised that she would neither Fast nor pray
Salat?’

.‫ والنه ال صوم ملن ال صالة له‬،‫ الهنا يف حد النجاسة فأحب أن ال تعبد إال طاهرا‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because of a limitation of the uncleanness, and He -azwj Loved it that you
would not worship except clean, and because there is no Fasting for the one there is no Salat
for him’.

‫) وال تقضي الصالة ؟‬4( ‫ فلم صارت تقضي الصيام‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why did she become fulfilling the (missed) Fasts and not fulfilling the (missed)
Salats?’

‫ واالشتغال مبرمة‬،‫ وإصالح بيتها والقيام ابمورها‬،‫ فمنها أن الصيام ال مينعها من خدمة نفسها وخدمة زوجها‬:‫ لعلل شىت‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘For various reasons – From these is that the Fasts do not prevent her from
serving herself and serving her husband, and correcting her house and the standing with her
affairs, and the pre-occupation with sorting out her life; and the Salat would be prevent her
from all of that, because the Salat would happen to be repeatedly during the day and the
night, so she would not be strong upon that, and the Fasting isn’t like that.

‫ وإمنا هو االمساك عن الطعام والشراب وليس‬،‫ وليس يف الصوم شئ من ذلك‬،‫ومنها أن الصالة فيها عناء وتعب واشتغال االركان‬
. ‫فيه اشتغال االركان‬

And from these is that the Salat, in it is the trouble and the fatigue and pre-occupation with
the rituals, and there isn’t anything from that in the Fasting, and rather it is the withholding
from the food and the drink, and there isn’t in it any pre-occupation from the rituals.

‫ النه ليس كلما حدث يوم‬،‫ومنها أن ه ليس من وقت جيئ إال جتب عليها فيه صالة جديدة يف يومها وليلتها وليس الصوم كذلك‬
.‫ وكلما حدث وقت الصالة وجب عليها الصالة‬،‫وجب عليها الصوم‬

And from these is that there isn’t any time except it would be Obligated upon her the new
Salat during it, during her day and her night, and the Fast isn’t like that, because it isn’t every
time a new day occurs and Obligates the Fast upon her, and every time a new time for Salat
would occur and Obligate the Salat upon her’.

‫ فلم إذا مرض الرجل أو سافر يف شهر رمضان فلم خيرج من سفره أو مل يفق من مرضه حىت يدخل عليه شهر رمضان آخر‬:‫فإن قال‬
‫ فإذا أفاق بينهما أو أقام ومل يقضه وجب عليه القضاء والفداء ؟‬،‫وجب عليه الفداء لالول وسقط القضاء‬

If he said, ‘Why, when the man is sick or travelling during the Month of Ramazan, he does not
come out from his journey or does not heal from his sickness until another Month of Ramazan
enters upon him and the redemption is Obligated upon him for the first (Month of Ramazan),
and the repayment (of the Fasts) is dropped, and when he is cured between the two, or stays
(stops travelling) and did not fulfil (the Fasts), it would Obligate upon him the fulfilment (of
the Fasts) and the redemption?’

‫ فأما الذي مل يفق فإنه ملا أن مرعليه السنة كلها وقد غلب هللا‬،‫ الن ذلك الصوم إمنا وجب عليه يف تلك السنة يف ذلك الشهر‬:‫قيل‬
،‫عليه فلم جيعل له السبيل إىل أدائه سقط عنه‬

It would be said, ‘Because that Fast rather is Obligated upon him during that year in that
month. As for the one who was not cured, so him, when the whole year passes by upon him
and Allah-azwj had Overcome upon him (with the illness), and did not make the way to fulfil it,
it is dropped from him.

‫و كذلك كلما غلب هللا تعاىل عليه مثل املغمى الذي يغمى عليه يوما وليلة فال جيب عليه قضاء الصالة كما قال الصادق عليه‬
‫ النه دخل الشهر وهو مريض فلم جيب عليه الصوم يف شهره وال سنته للمرض‬،‫ كلما غلب هللا على العبد فهو أعذر له‬:‫السالم‬
،‫ ووجب عليه الفداء النه مبنزلة من وجب عليه صوم فلم يستطع أداءه فوجب عليه الفداء‬،‫الذي كان فيه‬

Page 112 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And similar to that, every time Allah-azwj the Exalted Overcomes upon him with the like of the
unconsciousness which was upon him for a day and a night, then there is no fulfilling the
(missed) Salats just as Al Sadiq-asws said: ‘Every time Allah-azwj Overcomes upon the servant, it
is an excuse for him’, because the Month entered and he was sick, so the Fasts were not
Obligated upon him during his month, nor his year of the illness which he was in, and the
redemption was Obligated upon him, because he was at the status of the one a Fast is
Obligated, but he is no capable to fulfil it, thus the redemption is Obligated upon him.

‫ " ففدية من صيام‬:‫ " فصيام شهرين متتابعني فمن مل يستطع فإطعام ستني مسكينا " وكما قال هللا عزوجل‬:‫كما قال هللا عزوجل‬
.‫أو صدقة أو نسك " فأقام الصدقة مقام الصيام إذا عسر عليه‬

Just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: then Fast two months consecutively . . . And one
who is not capable, so he should feed sixty needy ones [58:4], and just as Allah-azwj Mighty
and Majestic Said: so, an expiation from Fasting of either charity or an offering [2:196], so
the charity stands in place of the Fasts when it is difficult upon him’.

.‫ فإن مل يستطيع إذ ذاك فهو اآلن يستطيع‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘But if he was not capable when it was that, then he is capable now’.

‫ النه كان مبنزلة من وجب عليه صوم يف كفارة فلم‬،‫ النه ملا أن دخل عليه شهر رمضان آخر وجب عليه الفداء للماضي‬:‫قيل له‬
‫ فإن أفاق فيما بينهما ومل يصمه وجب‬،‫ والصوم ساقط والفداء الزم‬،‫ وإذا وجب الفداء سقط الصوم‬،‫يستطعه فوجب عليه الفداء‬
.‫عليه الفداء لتضييعه والصوم الستطاعته‬

It would be said to him, ‘Because when another Month of Ramazan entered upon him the
redemption of the past one was Obligated upon him, because he was at the status of the one
upon whom a Fast is Obligated as an expiation, but he is not capable, so the redemption is
Obligated upon him. And when the redemption is Obligated, the Fast drops, and the Fast
drops the necessary redemption. So, if he wakes up (is cured) during what is between the two
and did not Fast it, the redemption is Obligated upon him for wasting it, and the Fasting he
was not capable of’.

‫ فلم جعل صوم السنة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the Sunnah Fasting Made to be?’

.‫ ليكمل به صوم الفرض‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘In order to perfect the Obligatory Fasts with it’.

‫ ويف كل عشرة أايم يوما ؟‬،‫ فلم جعل يف كل شهر ثالثة أايم‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why was it (Sunnah Fast) was Made to be three days in every month, and one day
in every ten days?’

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

‫ " من جاء ابحلسنة فله عشر أمثاهلا " فمن صام يف كل عشرة أايم يوما فكأمنا صام الدهر كله‬:‫ الن هللا تبارك وتعاىل يقول‬:‫قيل‬
."‫ " صوم ثالثة أايم يف الشهر صوم الدهر كله فمن وجد شيئا غري الدهر فليصمه‬:‫كما قال سلمان الفارسي رمحة هللا عليه‬

It would be said, ‘Because Allah-azwj the Blessed and Exalted is Saying: One who comes with
the good deed, then for him would be ten the likes of it, [6:160], so the one who Fasts one
day during every ten days, it would be as if he has Fasted the whole time, just as Salman Al
Farsy-ra said: ‘Fasting three days in the month is Fasting the whole time, so the one who can
find anything other than the ‘whole time’, then let him Fast it’.

‫ وأربعاء يف العشر االوسط ؟‬،‫ وآخر يس من العشر اآلخر‬،‫ فلم جعل أول يس من العشر االول‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is the first Thursday Made to be from the first ten (days), and the last
Thursday, and the Wednesday during the middle ten?’

‫ " يعرض كل يس أعمال العباد إىل هللا " فأحب أن يعرض عمل العبد على هللا‬:‫ أما اخلميس فإنه قال الصادق عليه السالم‬:‫قيل‬
.‫تعاىل وهو صائم‬

It would be said, ‘As for the Thursday, so Al Sadiq-asws said: ‘Every Thursday the deeds of the
servants get presented to Allah-azwj, so he-saww loved it that the deeds of the servant gets
presented to Allah-azwj the Exalted while he is Fasting’.

‫ فلم جعل آخر يس ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the last been Made to be a Thursday?’

،‫ النه إذا عرض عمل مثانية أايم والعبد صائم كان أشرف وأفضل من أن يعرض عمل يومني وهو صائم‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because when the deeds of eight days are presented and the servant and
the servant is Fasting, he would be nobler and superior that if the deeds of two days are
presented while he is Fasting.

‫وإمنا جعل أربعاء يف العشر االوسط الن الصادق عليه السالم أخرب أن هللا عزوجل خلق النار يف ذلك اليوم وفيه أهلك هللا القرون‬
.‫ فأحب أن يدفع العبد عن نفسه حنس ذلك اليوم بصومه‬،‫ وهو يوم حنس مستمر‬،‫االوىل‬

And rather, a Wednesday has been Made to be in the middle ten because Al Sadiq -asws
informed that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Fire during that day, and during it
Allah-azwj Destroyed the formers generations, and it is a day of continuous inauspiciousness,
so he-saww loved it that the servant would repel the inauspiciousness of that day by Fasting it’.

‫ فلم وجب يف الكفارة على من مل جيد حترير رقبة الصيام دون احلج والصالة وغريمها ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why has the expiation Made to be upon the one who cannot find the freeing of a
neck for the Fasting, besides the Hajj, and the Salat, and other than these two?’

‫ مع تلك العلل اليت ذكرانها يف‬،‫ الن الصالة واحلج وسائر الفرائض مانعة لالنسان من التقلب يف أمر دنياه ومصلحة معيشته‬:‫قيل‬
.‫احلائض اليت تقضي الصيام وال تقضي الصالة‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Salat and the Hajj and the rest of the Obligation are
preventative for the human being from turning in the affairs of his world, and interests of his
livelihood, along with that reason which we mentioned regarding the menstruating one who
fulfils the (missed) Fasts and does not fulfil the (missed) Salats’.

‫ دون أن جيب عليه شهر واحد أو ثالثة أشهر ؟‬،‫ فلم وجب عليه صوم شهرين متتابعني‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why is the Fasting of the two consecutive months Obligated upon him, besides an
Obligation of one month or three months?’

.‫ الن الفرض الذي فرضه هللا عزوجل على اخللق هو شهر واحد فضوعف هذا الشهر يف الكفارة توكيدا وتغليظا عليه‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Because the Obligation which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Obligated upon
the people, it is one month, so He-azwj Doubled this month regarding the expiation as an
emphasis and a harshness upon him’.

‫ فلم جعلت متتابعني ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why was it Made two consecutive (months)?’

.‫ النه إذا قضاه متفرقا عليه القضاء‬،‫ لئال يهون عليه االداء فيستخف به‬:‫قيل‬

It would be said, ‘Lest he takes it lightly upon its fulfilment and would belittle with it, because
when he fulfils it separately, upon him would be the fulfilment’.

‫ فلم امر ابحلج ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why did He-azwj Command with the Hajj?’

‫ مع ما فيه‬،‫ مستأنفا ملا يستقبل‬،‫ واخلروج من كل ما اقرتف العبد اتئبا مما مضى‬،‫ وطلب الزايدة‬،‫ لعلة الوفادة إىل هللا عزوجل‬:‫قيل‬

.‫ مع ما يف ذلك جلميع اخللق من املنافع‬،‫ دائما مع اخلضوع واالستكانة والتذلل‬،‫عليه‬

It would be said, ‘For the reason of a delegation to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and seeking
the increase, and the exiting from everything what the servant acknowledges repentant from
what had passed, resuming (afresh) to what is to come, along with what is in it from the
extraction of the wealth and the tiredness of the bodies, and the pre-occupations about the
wife and the children, and cautioning the self from the pleasures, facing the heat and the cold,
affirming that upon him permanently being with the humble, and the servility and the
humbling, with what is in that for the entirety of the people, from the benefits’.

‫ فلم امروا حبجة واحدة ال أكثر من ذلك ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why have they been Commanded with one Hajj, not more than that?’

‫ " فما استيسر من اهلدي " يعين شاة ليسع له القوي‬:‫ كما قال عزوجل‬،‫ الن هللا عزوجل وضع الفرائض على أدىن القوم قوة‬:‫قيل‬

.‫أهل القوة بقدر طاقتهم‬

It would be said, ‘Because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Placed the Obligation upon the
lowest of the people in strength, just as the Mighty and Majestic Said: then whatever is easy
from the offering [2:196], meaning a sheep, to ease for it the strong one and the weak one.
And, similar to that are the rest of the Obligations have rather been Placed upon the people
of least strength; and from those Obligations was the one Obligatory Hajj, then the people of
strength can be desirous after that by a measurement of their strength’.

‫ فلم امروا ابلتمتع إىل احلج ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

If he says, ‘Why have they been Commanded with the (Umrah) Tumatto to the Hajj?’

‫ ذلك ختفيف من ربكم و رمحة الن يسلم الناس من إحرامهم وال يطول ذلك عليهم فيدخل عليهم الفساد وأن يكون احلج‬:‫قيل‬
،‫ وال يكون احلج مفردا من العمرة ويكون بينهما فصل ومتييز‬،‫والعمرة واجبني مجيعا فال تعطل العمرة وال تبطل‬

It would be said, ‘That is a Lightening from your Lord-azwj and a Mercy, because the people
would turn in their Ihrams and that would not be prolonged upon that, and the corruption
would enter upon them, and the Hajj and the Umrah would both be Obligated together. So,
neither would the Umrah be suspended nor invalidated, nor would the Hajj happen to be
individualised from the Umrah, and there would happen to be a distance and a distinction
between the two.

‫ " دخلت العمرة يف احلج إىل يوم القيامة " ولوال أنه صلى هللا عليه واله كان ساق اهلدي ومل يكن له‬:‫وقال النيب صلى هللا عليه واله‬
،‫أن حيل حىت يبلغ اهلدي حمله لفعل كما أمر الناس‬

And the Prophet-saww said: ‘The Umrah is included in the Hajj up to the Day of Judgment’. And
if he-saww had not ushered the sacrificial animal and it would not have happened for him -saww
that he-saww becomes free (from the Ihram) until the sacrificial animal reaches its place, he-
saww would have done just he-saww had ordered the people.

‫ وليس لسائق اهلدي أن حيل حىت‬،‫ ولكين سقت اهلدي‬،‫ " لو استقبلت من أمري ما استدبرت لفعلت كما أمرتكم‬:‫ولذلك قال‬
.‫ إنك لن تؤمن هبذا أبدا‬:‫ فقال‬،‫ اي رسول هللا خنرج حجاجا ورؤوسنا تقطر من ماء اجلنابة‬:‫يبلغ اهلدي حمله " فقام إليه رجل فقال‬

And for that, he-saww said: ‘If I-saww were to face forward from my-saww matter what I-saww have
done in the past, I-saww would have done just as I-saww have ordered you, but I-saww ushered the
sacrificial animal, and it isn’t for an usherer of the sacrificial animal that he is free from Ihram

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

until the sacrificial animal reaches its place. But a man stood up to him-saww and he said, ‘O
Rasool-Allah-saww! We come out as Pilgrims and our heads are dripping from the water of the
sexual impurity (washing)’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘But you will never believe in this,
ever!’

‫ ويف العلل مكانه زايدة‬،‫ وهو موجود يف العيون‬،‫ لن تؤمن هبذا‬:‫ وقال النيب صلى هللا عليه واله إىل قوله‬:‫ ليس يف العلل قوله‬:‫أقول‬
:‫ليست فيه وهي هذه‬

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It isn’t in Al Illal (Al Sharai’e) his-saww words: ‘And the Prophet-saww said
up to his-saww words: ‘You will never believe in this!’, and it is present in (the book) Al Uyoon
(Al Akhbar), and in Al Illal, in its place, there is an increase in it, and it is this:

‫ فلوال التمتع مل يكن‬،‫ وأن ال يكون الطواف ابلبيت حمظورا الن احملرم إذا طاف ابلبيت قد أحل إال لعلة‬،‫ويكون بينهما فصل و متييز‬
،‫للحاج أن يطوف النه إن طاف أحل وفسد إحرامه وخيرج منه قبل أداء احلج‬

‘And there would happen to be a distance and a distinction between the two, and that the
Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) cannot happen to be prohibited, because the (Pilgrim) in Ihram,
when the does the Tawaaf of the House, he has released (from the Ihram) only for a reason.
So, if there was no (Tumatto) there would not have been for the Pilgrim that he performs
Tawaaf, because if he performs Tawaaf without Ihram, and his Ihram would have been spoilt,
and he would have come out from it before fulfilling the Hajj.

‫والن جيب على الناس اهلدي والكفارة فيذحبون وينحرون و يتقربون إىل هللا جل جالله فال تبطل هراقة الدماء والصدقة على‬
:‫ ولنرجع إىل املشرتك بني الكتابني‬.‫املسلمني‬

And, because the sacrificial animal and the expiation is Obligatory upon the people, so they
would be slaughtering and sacrificing, and offering to Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty,
and it would not invalidate the spilling of the blood, and the charity upon the Muslims’. And
we return to the common between the two books:

‫ فلم جعل وقتها عشر ذي احلجة ؟‬:‫فإن قال‬

‘If he says, ‘Why has its timing Made to be the 10th of Zilhajj?’

‫ الن هللا تعاىل أحب أن يعبد هبذه العبادة يف أايم التشريق فكان أول ما حجت إليه املالئكة وطافت به يف هذا الوقت فجعله‬:‫قيل‬
،‫سنة ووقتا إىل يوم القيامة‬

It would be said, ‘Because Allah-azwj the Exalted Loves that He-azwj be worshipped with this (act
of) worship during the days of Al Tashreek (11th, 12th & 13th Zilhajj). The first ones to have
performed Hajj to it were the Angels, and they perform Tawaaf with it (Kabah) during this
timing, so it was made to be a Sunnah and a timing up to the Day of Judgment.

،‫ ووجدان احملرم من االشياء ال حاجة للعباد إليه ووجدانه مفسدا داعيا إىل الفناء واهلالك‬،‫احلاجة اليت ال يستغنون عنها‬

So, it was just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Invalidated the words of the one who said that,
we-asws find everything what Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Permitted, in it are interests of the
servants and they survival, and for them there is a need to it, there are no being needless
from it, and we-asws find the Prohibition of the things, there is no need to the servants to it,
and we-asws find it as a spoiler calling to the perishing and the destruction.

‫ نظري ما أحل من امليتة والدم وحلم‬،‫مث رأيناه تبارك وتعاىل قد أحل بعض ما حرم يف وقت احلاجة ملا فيه من الصالح يف ذلك الوقت‬
،‫ ملا يف ذلك الوقت من الصالح والعصمة ودفع املوت‬،‫اخلنزيرإذا اضطر إليه املضطر‬

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

Then, we-asws see Him-azwj Blessed and Exalted to have Permitted some of what He-azwj had
Prohibited during a time of need to what in it from the interest during that time, in parallel is
what He-azwj Permitted from the dead, and the blood, and the flesh of the swine when the
desperate one is desperate to it, for what, during that time is from the interest and the saving
and repelling the death.

‫ وكذلك وصف يف كتابه وأدت‬،‫ وحرم ما حرم ملا فيه من الفساد‬،‫فكيف دل الدليل على أنه مل حيل إال ملا فيه من املصلحة لالبدان‬
.‫ لو يعلم العباد كيف كان بدؤ اخللق ما اختلف اثنان‬:‫عنه رسله وحججه كما قال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬

So, how can an evidence upon that He-azwj does not Permit except for what therein is from
the interest of the slavery, and He-azwj Prohibits what He-azwj Prohibits for what in it from the
corruption; and like that He-azwj Described in His-azwj Book and it was reported about it by His-
azwj Rasool-saww and His-azwj Divine Authorities-asws, just as Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘If the servants

knew how was the beginning of the creation, no two would have differed’.

.‫ حيوله من شئ إىل شئ فيصري حالال وحرام‬،‫ ليس بني احلالل واحلرام إال شئ يسري‬:‫وقوله عليه السالم‬

And his-asws words: ‘There isn’t between the Permissible and the Prohibited except something
small, transferring it from a thing to a thing, so it becomes Permissible and Prohibited’’.108

‫ علة غسل اجلنابة النظافة وتطهري االنسان نفسه مما أصابه‬:‫أاب احلسن علي بن موسى الرضا عليه السالم كتب إليه يف جواب مسائله‬
،‫ وتطهري سائر جسده الن اجلنابة خارجة من كل جسده فلذلك وجب عليه تطهري جسده كله‬،‫من أذاه‬

‘Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws wrote to him in answer to his question: ‘A reason
for the washing from the sexual impurity is the disinfection and the cleanliness of the human
being of himself from what hit him from his limbs, and the cleaning of the rest of his body,
because the sexual impurity comes out from the whole of his body, therefore due to that it
Obligates upon him the cleaning of his body, all of it.

،‫وعلة التخفيف يف البول والغائط النه أكثر وأدوم من اجلنابة فرضي فيه ابلوضوء لكثرته ومشقته وجميئه بغري إرادة منه وال شهوة‬
،‫واجلنابة ال تكون إال ابالستلذاذ منهم و االكراه النفسهم‬

And a reason of the lightening regarding the urine and the faeces is that it is more and
continuing than the sexual impurity, so He-azwj is Pleased regarding it with the Wudu due to
its frequency and its difficulty, and its coming without an intention from it nor a desire; and
the sexual impurity cannot happen except with the pleasures from them, and the forcing their
own selves.

‫ وليكون‬،‫ واستقباله الكرمي اجلليل وطلب املغفرة لذنوبه‬،‫وعلة غسل العيد واجلمعة وغري ذلك من االغسال ملا فيه من تعظيم العبد ربه‬
‫ وزايدة‬،‫ وتفضيال له على سائر االايم‬،‫ فجعل فيه الغسل تعظيما لذلك اليوم‬،‫هلم يوم عيد معروف جيتمعون فيه على ذكر هللا عزوجل‬
،‫ وليكون تلك طهارة له من اجلمعة إىل اجلمعة‬،‫يف النوافل والعبادة‬

And a reason for the washing for the Eid and the Friday and other than that from the washings
of what is in it a reverence of the servant of his Lord -azwj, and his facing the Benevolent, the
Majestic, and seeking the Forgiveness for his sins, and for it to become for them a day of Eid,
well-known for gatherings during it upon Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, so the washing
is Made to be in it as a reverence for that day, and a merit for it upon the rest of the days, and
an increase in the optional (Salats) and the worship, and for that to become a cleaning for
him from the Friday to the Friday.

‫ وما أصابه من صنوف علله النه يلقى املالئكة ويباشر أهل‬،‫وعلة غسل امليت أنه يغسل النه يطهر وينظف من أدانس أمراضه‬
‫ موجها به إىل هللا عزوجل ليطلب‬،‫ نظيفا‬،‫ فيستحب إذا ورد على هللا ولقى أهل الطهارة ومياسونه ومياسهم أن يكون طاهرا‬،‫اآلخرة‬
،‫به ويشفع له‬

And a reason for washing the deceased is that he is washed because he is to be cleaned and
disinfected from the dirt and his diseases, and whatever may have hit him from the types of
his illnesses, because he has to meet the Angels and face the people of the Hereafter, so it is
loved that when he returns to Allah-azwj and meets the clean people and they touch him and
he touches them, that he should happen to be clean, disinfected, heading with it to Allah-azwj
Mighty and Majestic, to seek with it and be interceded for him.

،‫وعلة اخرى أنه خيرج من االذى الذي منه خلق فيجنب فيكون غسله له‬

And another reason is that there would come out from him, from the seed from which he had
been Created, being a sexual impurity, so he would become washed due to it.

‫وعلة اغتسال من غسله أو مسه فظاهرة ملا أصابه من نضح امليت الن امليت إذا خرجت الروح منه بقي أكثر آفة فلذلك يتطهر‬
.‫منه ويطهر‬

And a reason for the washings from washing him or touching him, apparently is for what hit
him from the showering the deceased, because the deceased, when the soul comes out from

Page 122 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

him, there would remain most of the diseases from him, therefore, due to that, he would be
cleaned from it and he (the washer) would (also) clean.

‫ واستقباله إايه جبوارحه‬،‫وعلة الوضوء اليت من أجلها صار غسل الوجه والذراعني ومسح الرأس والرجلني فلقيامه بني يدي هللا عزوجل‬
.‫ ومالقاته هبا الكرام الكاتبني‬،‫الظاهرة‬

And a reason for the Wudu which from its sake became the washing of the face and the two
forearms, and wiping of the head and the two legs, it is for his standing in front of Allah-azwj
Mighty and Majestic, and his facing Him-azwj with his apparent limbs, and his meeting with
these, the Honourable Recorders (Angels).

‫ ومسح الرأس والقدمني الهنما ظاهران‬،‫ وغسل اليدين ليقلبهما ويرغب هبما ويرهب و يتبتل‬،‫فغسل الوجه للسجود واخلضوع‬
. ‫ وليس فيهما من اخلضوع والتبتل ما يف الوجه والذارعني‬،‫مكشوفان يستقبل هبما يف حاالته‬

The face is washed for the Sajdahs and the humbleness; and the two hands are washed for
turning them and desiring with them and beseeching; and the wiping of the head and the two
feet is because these are apparent, uncovered, he faces with these in theirs states, and there
isn’t the humbleness in these two and the beseeching what is in the face and the two
forearms.

،‫وعلة الزكاة من أجل قوت الفقراء وحتصني أموال االغنياء الن هللا تبارك وتعاىل كلف أهل الصحة القيام بشأن أهل الزمانة والبلوى‬
،‫ " لتبلون يف أموالكم " إبخراج الزكاة " ويف أنفسكم " بتوطني االنفس على الصرب‬:‫كما قال عزوجل‬

And a reason for the Zakat is from a sake of the subsistence of the poor ones and protecting
the wealth of the rich ones, because Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Encumbered the healthy
people of the standing (in Salat) with a concern of the people of sincerity and the Trials, just
as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: You will be Tested regarding your wealth [3:186], with
the extraction of the Zakat, and your selves [3:186], with settling the self upon the patience.

‫ والعطف على أهل‬،‫ مع ما فيه من الرمحة والرأفة الهل الضعف‬،‫ والطمع يف الزايدة‬،‫مع ما يف ذلك من أداء شكر نعم هللا عزوجل‬
‫ وعربة هلم ليستدلوا على فقر‬،‫ وهم عظة الهل الغىن‬،‫ واحلث هلم على املواساة وتقوية الفقراء واملعونة هلم على أمر الدين‬،‫املسكنة‬
‫اآلخرة هبم‬

Along with what is in that from the giving of thanks for the Favours of Allah -azwj Mighty and
Majestic, and the coveting for the increase; along with what is in it from the Mercy and the
Kindness for the weak people, and the Kindness upon the poor people, and the urging for
them upon consolation and the strengthening the poor ones and the assistance for them
upon the matter of the Religion, and they are a preaching for the rich people and a lesson for
them to point upon poverty of the Hereafter with them.

‫وما هلم من احلث يف ذلك على الشكر هلل عزوجل ملا خوهلم وأعطاهم والدعاء والتضرع و اخلوف من أن يصريوا مثلهم يف امور كثرية‬
.‫من أداء الزكاة والصدقات وصلة االرحام واصطناع املعروف‬

Page 123 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And what is for them from the urging regarding that upon the thanks for Allah -azwj Mighty and
Majestic of what He-azwj Granted them and Gave them, and the supplication, and the
beseeching, and the fear from becoming like them in many of the matter from paying the
Zakat, and the charities, and helping the relatives, and the affection of the good deeds.

‫ وما فيه‬،‫ مستأنفا ملا يستقبل‬،‫ وليكون اتئبا مما مضى‬،‫وعلة احلج الوفادة إىل هللا عزوجل وطلب الزايدة واخلروج من كل ما اقرتف‬
،‫ واخلضوع واالستكانة والذل‬،‫ والتقرب ابلعبادة إىل هللا عزوجل‬،‫من استخراج االموال وتعب االبدان وحظرها عن الشهوات واللذات‬
،‫ دائبا يف ذلك دائما‬،‫شاخصا يف احلر والربد واخلوف واالمن‬

And a reason for the Hajj is the delegation to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and seeking the
increase, and the exit from all what is acknowledge, and for him to become repentant from
what has passed, resuming afresh to what is in the future, and what is therein from the
extraction of the wealth, and tiredness of the bodies and his precaution from the desires and
the pleasures, and the drawing closer to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with the worship, and
the humbleness and the servility and the humbleness, facing the heat and the cold and the
fear and the security, always persisting in that.

‫وما يف ذلك جلميع اخللق من املنافع والرغبة والرهبة إىل هللا عزوجل ومنه ترك قساوة القلب وجسارة االنفس ونسيان الذكر وانقطاع‬
‫ ومن يف الرب والبحر ممن حيج ومن ال‬،‫ ومنفعة من يف شرق االرض وغرهبا‬،‫ وجتديد احلقوق وحظر النفس عن الفساد‬،‫الرجاء واالمل‬
‫ وقضاء حوائج أهل االطراف واملواضع املمكن هلم االجتماع فيها كذلك‬،‫ من اتجر وجالب وابئع ومشرتى وكاسب ومسكني‬،‫حيج‬
.‫ليشهدوا منافع هلم‬

And what is in that for the entirety of the people from the benefits, and the desire and the
feat to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and from it is leaving the harshness of the heart and
audacity of the self, and forgetting the Zikr, and cutting off the hopes and the wishes, and
renewal of the rights, and cautioning the self from the corruption, and benefit the ones in the
east of the earth and its west, and ones in the land and the sea, from the one who has
performed Hajj and one who has not performed Hajj, and ones who trades and imports, and
sells and buys, and a wage earner, and poor ones, and fulfilling the needs of the people of the
outskirts and places where it is possible for them to gather in it, and for them to be witnessing
the benefits for them.

‫ مث رغب‬،‫وعلة فرض احلج مرة واحدة الن هللا عزوجل وضع الفرائض على أدىن القوم قوة فمن تلك الفرائض احلج املفروض واحد‬
.‫أهل القوة على قدر طاقتهم‬

And a reason for Obligating the Hajj for one time is because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic
Placed the Obligation upon the lowest of the people in strength. So, from those Obligations
is the one Obligatory Hajj, then the people of strength can desire in accordance to their
strength.

‫ و كل ريح هتب يف الدنيا فإهنا خترج من حتت الركن‬،‫وعلة وضع البيت وسط االرض أنه املوضع الذي من حتته دحيت االرض‬
،‫ الهنا الوسط ليكون الفرض الهل الشرق والغرب يف ذلك سواء‬،‫ وهي أول بقعة وضعت يف االرض‬،‫الشامي‬

Page 124 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And a reason from placing the House (Kabah) in the middle of the earth is that it is the place
which from beneath it the ground was spread out, and every wind blowing in the world, so it
comes out from beneath the Al Shamy corner (of the Kabah), and it is the first spot placed in
the earth, because it is the middle, for the Obligation to be the same for the people of the
east and the west regarding that.

‫ " وما كان صالهتم عند‬:‫ وذلك قول هللا عزوجل‬،‫ قد مكا‬:‫ وكان يقال ملن قصدها‬،‫ومسيت مكة مكة الن الناس كانوا ميكون فيها‬
.‫ صفق اليدين‬:‫ والتصدية‬،‫ الصفري‬:‫البيت إال مكاء وتصدية " فاملكاء‬

And Makkah is named as ‘Makkah’ because the people were dwelling (Makeen) therein, and
it would be said for the one who headed for it, ‘He has ‘Maka’’, and these are the Words of
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And what was their Salat by the House except for whistling
and clapping of the hands [8:35] – so Al Maka’a is the whistling, and Al Tasdiya is clapping of
the hands.

‫ " إين جاعل يف االرض خليفة قالوا أجتعل فيها من يفسد فيها ويسفك الدماء‬:‫وعلة الطواف ابلبيت أن هللا عزوجل قال للمالئكة‬
،‫" فردوا على هللا عزوجل هذا اجلواب فندموا فالذوا ابلعرش واستغفروا‬

And a reason for the Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) is that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said
to the Angels: And when your Lord said to the Angels: I am going to Make a Caliph in the
earth. They said: Are You going to Make in it one who will make mischief therein and shed
the blood [2:30]. They responded this answer upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Then, they
regretted, and they attached themselves with the Throne and sought Forgiveness.

‫ مث وضع يف السماء الدنيا‬،‫فأحب هللا عزوجل أن يتعبد مبثل ذلك العباد فوضع يف السماء الرابعة بيتا حبذاء العرش يسمى الضراح‬
‫ مث أمر آدم عليه السالم فطاف به فتاب هللا عزوجل‬،‫ مث وضع هذا البيت حبذاء البيت املعمور‬،‫بيتا يسمى املعمور حبذاء الضراح‬
.‫عليه فجرى ذلك يف ولده إىل يوم القيامة‬

Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Loved that He-azwj be worshipped with the likes of that servant,
so He-azwj Placed in the fourth sky a House parallel to the Throne named as Al-Ziraah. Then He-
azwj Placed in the sky of the earth a House called Al Mamour parallel to Al-Ziraah. Then He-azwj

Placed this House parallel to Bayt Al-Mamour. Then He-azwj Commanded Adam-as to perform
Tawaaf with it and repent to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Thus, that flowed in his-as children
up to the Day of Judgment.

‫ ومن مث يقال‬،‫وعلة استالم احلجر أن هللا تبارك وتعاىل ملا أخذ ميثاق بين آدم التقمه احلجر فمن مث كلف الناس تعاهد ذلك امليثاق‬
،‫ أمانيت أديتها و ميثاقي تعاهدته لتشهد يل ابملوافاة‬:‫عند احلجر‬

And a reason for killing the (Black) Stone is that when Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Took a
Covenant of the children of Adam-as, the Stone swallowed it. From them the people were
Encumbered to agree that Covenant, and from then it is to be said at the Stone: ‘My
entrustment, I have fulfilled it, and my Covenant I have agreed to it for you to testify for me
with the loyalty’.

Page 125 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

.‫ ليجيئن احلجر يوم القيامة مثل أيب قبيس له لسان وشفتان يشهد ملن وافاه ابملوافاة‬:‫ومنه قول سلمان رمحه هللا‬

And from it are the words of Salman-ra, ‘The Stone would come on the Day of Judgment like
(mount) Abu Qubays, having a tongue for it and two lips testifying for the one who is loyal
with the loyalty.

‫ فتمىن إبراهيم‬،‫ متن على ربك ما شئت‬:‫والعلة اليت من أجلها مسيت مىن مىن أن جربئيل عليه السالم قال هناك البراهيم عليه السالم‬
.‫عليه السالم يف نفسه أن جيعل هللا مكان ابنه إمساعيل كبشا أيمره بذحبه فداءا له فاعطي مناه‬

And the reason which from its sake Mina is named as ‘Mina’ is that Jibraeel -as said there to
Ibrahim-as: ‘Wish (Taman) to your-as Lord-azwj whatever you-as desire’, so Ibrahim-as wished
within himself-as that Allah-azwj Makes a sheep to be in place of his-as son-as Ibrahim-as
Commanding his-as with slaughtering it as an expiation for it, and he-as was Given his-as wish
(Mana).

‫ ويكون ذلك دليال له على شدائد اآلخرة‬،‫وعلة الصوم لعرفان مس اجلوع والعطش ليكون العبد ذليال مستكينا مأجورا حمتسبا صابرا‬
‫ دليال على اآلجل ليعلم شدة مبلغ ذلك من أهل الفقر واملسكنة‬،‫ واعظا له يف العاجل‬،‫مع ما فيه من االنكسار له عن الشهوات‬
.‫يف الدنيا واآلخرة‬

And a reason for the Fast is to make recognise the hunger and the thirst. The servant would
become humbled, servile, Recompensed, Reckoned, patient, and that would happen to be an
evidence for him upon the difficulties of the Hereafter along with whatever is in it from the
breaking away from the desires for him, being a preaching for him in the immediate time,
pointing upon the future for him to know the difficulties that reach the poor and the needy
people in the world and the Hereafter.

‫وحرم قتل النفس لعلة فساد اخللق يف حتليله لو أحل وفنائهم وفساد التدبري‬

And He-azwj Prohibited killing the soul for a reason of the corruption of the people in its
legalisation if it had been permissible, and their annihilation and corruption of the planning.

‫ وإبطال‬،‫ وجتنب كفر النعمة‬،‫ والتوقري للوالدين‬،‫وحرم هللا عزوجل عقوق الوالدين ملا فيه من اخلروج عن التوقري لطاعة هللا عزوجل‬
‫ والزهد‬،‫ وقطع االرحام‬،‫ ملا يف العقوق من قلة توقري الوالدين والعرفان حبقهما‬،‫الشكر وما يدعو من ذلك إىل قلة النسل وانقطاعه‬
.‫ وترك الرتبية لعلة ترك الولد برمها‬،‫من الوالدين يف الولد‬

And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Prohibited the disloyalty with the parents due to what is in
it the exit from the dignity of obeying Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the dignity of the
parents, and shunning the ungratefulness of the Bounties, and invalidation of the thanks and
what it calls from that to the scarcity of the lineages and its termination, due to what is in the
disloyalty from the scarcity of the dignity to the parents and recognition of their rights, and
cutting off of relationships, and the abstention from the parents in the child, and neglecting
the nurturing for a reason of the child leaving being righteous to them.

Page 126 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

‫ وما أشبه ذلك من وجوه‬،‫ وفساد املواريث‬،‫ وترك الرتبية لالطفال‬،‫ وذهاب االنساب‬،‫وحرم الزان ملا فيه من الفساد من قتل االنفس‬
.‫الفساد‬

And He-azwj Prohibited the adultery due to what is therein from the corruption from killing of
the soul, and disappearance of the lineages, and neglect of the upbringing of the children,
and spoiling of the inheritances and what resembles that from the aspects of the corruption.

‫ أول ذلك أنه إذا أكل االنسان مال اليتيم ظلما فقد أعان على قتله إذ‬،‫وحرم أكل مال اليتيم ظلما لعلل كثرية من وجوه الفساد‬
‫ فإذا أكل ماله فكأنه قد قتله‬،‫ وال له من يقوم عليه ويكفيه كقيام والديه‬،‫ وال عليم بشأنه‬،‫ وال حمتمل لنفسه‬،‫اليتيم غري مستغن‬
،‫وصريه إىل الفقر والفاقة‬

And He-azwj Prohibited consuming the wealth of the orphan unjustly for many reasons from
the aspects of the corruption. The first of that is that when the human being consumes the
wealth of the orphan, so he has assisted upon killing him when the orphan is not self-
sufficient, nor carrying himself, nor knowing with his state, nor is there for him anyone
standing upon his and sufficing him like a standing of the parent. Thus, it is as if he has killed
him and made him come to the poverty and the destitution.

‫ " وليخش الذين لو تركوا من خلفهم ذرية ضعافا خافوا عليهم فليتقوا هللا‬:‫مع ما خوف هللا تعاىل وجعل من العقوبة يف قوله عزوجل‬
‫ وعقوبة يف اآلخرة‬،‫ عقوبة يف الدنيا‬:‫ إن هللا وعد يف أكل مال اليتيم عقوبتني‬:‫" وكقول أيب جعفر عليه السالم‬

Along with what Allah-azwj the Exalted Scared and Made from the Punishment in His-azwj Words,
Mighty and Majestic: And let those fear who, should they leave behind them weakly
offspring, would fear upon them, so let them be fearing Allah [4:9], and like the words of
Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘Allah-azwj has Threatened two Punishments upon every consumer of the
wealth of the orphans – a punishment in the world and a Punishment in the Hereafter’.

‫ مع‬،‫ ملا وعد هللا تعاىل فيه من العقوبة‬،‫ والسالمة للعقب أن يصيبه ما أصابه‬،‫ففي حترمي مال اليتيم استغناء اليتيم واستقالله بنفسه‬
.‫ ووقوع الشحناء والعداوة والبغضاء حىت يتفانوا‬،‫ما يف ذلك من طلب اليتيم بثاره إذا أدرك‬

Thus, in the prohibition of the (consuming) the wealth of the orphans is the self-sufficiency of
the orphan, and his independence with himself, and the safety for the future if it hits him
what hits him, due to what Allah-azwj the Exalted Threatened from the Punishment regarding
it. Along with that is in that from the orphan seeking his revenge when he grows up, and the
occurrence of the ugliness, and the enmity, and the hatred until they both die.

‫ وترك نصرهتم‬،‫ واالئمة العادلة عليهم السالم‬،‫ واالستخفاف ابلرسل‬،‫وحرم هللا تعاىل الفرار من الزحف ملا فيه من الوهن يف الدين‬
،‫على االعداء‬

And Allah-azwj the Exalted Prohibited the fleeing from the army due to what is in it from the
weakness regarding the Religion, and the taking it lightly with the Rasools -as, and the just
Imams-asws, and neglecting helping them-asws against the enemies.

‫ ملا يف ذلك من جرأة العدو على‬،‫والعقوبة هلم على إنكار ما دعوا إليه من االقرار ابلربوبية وإظهار العدل وترك اجلور وإماتة الفساد‬
.‫ وإبطال دين هللا عزوجل وغريه من الفساد‬،‫املسلمني وما يكون يف ذلك من السيب والقتل‬

And the Punishment for them upon the denial of what they had been called to from the
acknowledgment with the Lordship and manifesting the justice and leaving the tyranny and
avoidance of the corruption, due to what is in that from the audacity of the enemies upon the
Muslims, and what would take place in that from the captivity and the killing, and invalidation
of the Religion of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and other such from the corruptions.

‫ وإبطال حق كل‬،‫ وما يف ذلك من الفساد‬،‫ وترك املؤازرة لالنبياء واحلجج عليهم السالم‬،‫وحرم التعرب بعد اهلجرة للرجوع عن الدين‬
‫ واخلوف عليه النه ال يؤمن أن‬،‫ وكذلك لو عرف الرجل الدين كاملة مل جيز له مساكنة أهل اجلهل‬،‫ذي حق ال لعلة سكىن البدو‬
.‫يقع منه ترك العلم والدخول مع أهل اجلهل والتمادي يف ذلك‬

And He-azwj Prohibited the Arabisation after the Hijra for the returning from the Religion, and
leaving the preaching’s of the Prophets-as and the Divine Authorities-asws, and what is in that
from the corruption, and invalidation of the right of everyone with a right, not for a reason of
the Bedouin settlements. And similar to that, if the man recognised the Religion perfectly, it
would not be allowed for him, settlements of the ignorant people, and the fear upon it,
because he would not be safe from him a neglect of the knowledge and the entering along
with the ignorant people and the persistence in that.

‫ ولئال يسوى‬،‫ وذكر امسه على الذابئح احملللة‬،‫وحرم ما اهل به لغري هللا عزوجل للذي أوجب هللا عزوجل على خلقه من االقرار به‬
،‫ وبني ما جعل عبادة للشياطني واالواثن‬،‫بني ما تقرب به إليه‬

And He-azwj Prohibited what is rightful with for other than Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, for
what which is more Obligatory for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon His-azwj creatures, from
the acceptance with Him-azwj, and Mention of His-azwj Name upon the Permissible slaughters,
and lest they equate between what is offered with to Him-azwj and what is made as an act of
worship to the Satan-la and the idols.

‫ ليكون ذكر هللا‬،‫ وما يف االهالل لغري هللا من الشرك به والتقرب به إىل غريه‬،‫الن يف تسمية هللا عزوجل االقرار بربوبيته وتوحيده‬
،‫تعاىل وتسميته على الذبيحة فرقا بني ما أحل هللا وبني ما حرم هللا‬

Because in the Naming of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, there is the acceptance with His-azwj
Lordship and His-azwj Tawheed, and whatever is permissible for other than Allah-azwj from the
Shirk with Him-azwj and the drawing closer with it to something else. The Zikr of Allah-azwj and
His-azwj Mention happening upon the slaughter is a differentiation between what Allah -azwj
Permitted and what Allah-azwj Prohibited.

‫وحرم سباع الطري والوحش كلها الكلها من اجليف وحلوم الناس والعذرة وما أشبه ذلك فجعل هللا عزوجل دالئل ما أحل من الوحش‬
‫ وكلما كانت له قانصة من الطري‬،‫ كل ذي انب من السباع وذي خملب من الطري حرام‬:‫والطري وما حرم كما قال أيب عليه السالم‬
.‫فحالل‬

Page 128 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And He-azwj Prohibited (consumption of) the predatory birds and the wild animals all of them
due to their eating from the carcasses and flesh of the humans and the faeces and what
resembles that. So, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made an evidence of what is Permissible
from the animals and the bird and what is Prohibited just as my-asws father-asws said: ‘Everyone
with canines from the predators and with a claw from the birds, is Prohibited, and all what
from the birds having a gizzard, so it is Permissible.

.‫ وال أتكل ما صف‬،‫ كل ما دف‬:‫وعلة اخرى يفرق بني ما احل من الطري وما حرم قوله عليه السالم‬

And another reason differentiating between what is Permissible from the bird and what is
Prohibited are his-asws words: ‘Eat what beats (its wings), and do not eat what spreads (its
wings)’.

‫ وما يكون منها‬،‫ مع قذرها يف نفسها‬،‫وحرم االرنب الهنا مبنزلة السنور وهلا خماليب كمخاليب السنور وسباع الوحش فجرت جمراها‬
.‫من الدم كما يكون من النساء الهنا مسخ‬

And He-azwj Prohibited the rabbit because it is at the status of the cat, and for it are fangs like
the fangs of the cat and predatory animals, so it flows their flows, along with it’s dirtiness
within itself, and what would happen from it from the blood just as it happens from the
women, because it is morphed.

‫ ومثن اآلخر‬،‫وعلة حترمي الراب إمنا هنى هللا عنه ملا فيه من فساد االموال الن االنسان إذا اشرتى الدرهم ابلدرمهني كان مثن الدرهم درمها‬
،‫ فبيع الراب وشراه وكس على كل حال على املشرتي وعلى البائع‬،‫ابطال‬

And a reason for the Prohibition of the interest (usury), rather Allah-azwj Prohibited from it due
to what is in it from the corruption of the wealth, because the human being, when they take
the Dirham with (lending) two Dirhams, the price of the one Dirham would be two Dirhams,
and the price of the other would be invalidated, so the selling of the interest and buying it
would depreciate upon every state upon the buyer and upon the seller.

‫ ملا يتخوف عليه من إفساده حىت يؤنس منه‬،‫فحظر هللا عزوجل الراب لعلة فساد االموال كما حظر على السفيه أن يدفع إليه ماله‬
.‫ فلهذه العلة حرم هللا الراب وبيع الدرهم ابلدرمهني يدا بيد‬،‫رشد‬

So, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Banned the interest for a reason of the corruption of the
wealth just as He-azwj Banned upon the foolish that his wealth be handed over to him, due to
what is feated upon him from his spoiling until a rightful guidance is felt from him. Thus, it
was for this reason Allah-azwj Prohibited the interest and selling (gaining) the dirham with
(lending) two Dirhams, hand by hand.

‫ ومل يكن ذلك منه إال استخفافا‬،‫وعلة حترمي الراب بعد البينة ملا فيه من االستخفاف ابحلرام احملرم وهي كبرية بعد البيان وحترمي هللا هلا‬
.‫ واالستخفاف ذلك دخول يف الكفر‬،‫ابحملرم للحرام‬

And a reason for the Prohibition of the interest after the explanation is due to what is in it
from the taking lightly with the Prohibition by the prohibited one, and it is a major sin after

Page 129 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

the explanation and the Prohibition of Allah-azwj of it, and that would not happen to be from
him except as a taking lightly by the prohibited one of the Prohibition, and that taking lightly
is an entry into the Kufr.

،‫ والقرض من صنائع املعروف‬،‫ وتركهم القرض‬،‫ ورغبة الناس يف الربح‬،‫ وتلف االموال‬،‫وعلة حترمي الراب ابلنسية لعلة ذهاب املعروف‬
.‫وملا يف ذلك من الفساد والظلم وفناء االموال‬

And a reason of the Prohibition of the interest by the forgetfulness is lest the enjoining of the
good is done away with, and the wealth is damaged, and the people’s desire regarding the
profits, and their neglecting the Obligations, and lending from the doing of goodness, and for
what in that is from the corruption and the injustice and annihilation of the wealth.

‫ والن غذاءه أقذر االقذار‬،‫ جعله هللا عزوجل عظة للخلق وعربة وختويفا ودليال على ما مسخ على خلقته‬،‫وحرم اخلنزير النه مشوه‬
،‫مع علل كثرية‬

And He-azwj Prohibited the swine because of its distortion. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made
it a preaching for the people and a lesson and a scare and evidence upon what He -azwj has
Morphed upon His-azwj creatures, and because its food intake is rubbish, and the rubbish is
with a lot of illnesses.

‫ وجعل فيه شيئا من‬،‫ وجعل عظة وعربة للخلق ودليال على ما مسخ على خلقته وصورته‬،‫وكذلك حرم القرد النه مسخ مثل اخلنزير‬
.‫االنسان ليدل على أنه من اخللق املغضوب عليه‬

And like that, He-azwj Prohibited the monkey because it is morphed like the swine, and Made
a preaching and a lesson for the people and an evidence upon what is morphed upon His-azwj
creatures and its image, and Made something from the human beings to be in it to point upon
that it is from the people He-azwj has been Wrathful upon.

.‫ وملا أراد هللا عزوجل أن جيعل التسمية سببا للتحليل وفرقا بني احلالل واحلرام‬،‫وحرمت امليتة ملا فيها من فساد االبدان واآلفة‬

And (eating) the dead is prohibited due to what is in it from the spoiling of the bodies and the
illnesses, and due to what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wants to Make the Naming as a
cause for the Permissibility and a differentiation between the Permissible and the Prohibited.

،‫ ويسيئ اخللق‬،‫ ويننت الريح‬،‫ ويبخر الفم‬،‫ والنه يورث املاء االصفر‬،‫وحرم هللا عزوجل الدم كتحرمي امليتة ملا فيه من فساد االبدان‬
.‫ وقلة الرأفة والرمحة حىت ال يؤمن أن يقتل ولده ووالده وصاحبه‬،‫ويورث القسوة للقلب‬

And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Prohibited (drinking) the blood like the Prohibition of
(eating) the dead, due to what is in it from the spoiling of the bodies, and because it inherits
the yellow water, and mouth vapour (breath odour), and stinky wind, and evil morals, and
inherits the harshness for the heart, and scarcity of the kindness and the mercy, until he is
not safe that he might kill his child and his parent and his companion.

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

.‫ النه جيري جمراها يف الفساد‬،‫ والن علته وعلة الدم وامليتة واحدة‬،‫وحرم الطحال ملا فيه من الدم‬

And He-azwj Prohibited (eating) the spleen due to what is in it from the blood, and because its
reason and reason of the blood and the dead are one, because its flow flows in the corruption.

‫ والرجل‬،‫وعلة املهر ووجوبه على الرجال وال جيب على النساء أن يعطني أزواجهن الن على الرجال مؤونة املرأة الن املرأة ابئعة نفسها‬
.‫ مع أن النساء حمظورات عن التعامل واجملئ مع علل كثرية‬،‫ وال الشراء بغري إعطاء الثمن‬،‫ واليكون البيع إال بثمن‬،‫مشرت‬

And a reason for the dowry and its Obligation upon the men and not being Obligated upon
the women is that they (women) would be coming to their husbands, because upon the men
is a provision for the woman, because the woman sells herself, and the man is a buyer, and
the selling cannot take place except with a price, nor can the buying take place without giving
the price, along with that the women are forbidden from the working and the incoming, along
with a lot of reasons.

‫ واملرأة لو‬،‫وعلة تزويج الرجل أربع نسوة وحترمي أن تتزوج املرأة أكثر من واحد الن الرجل إذا تزوج أربع نسوة كان الولد منسواب إليه‬
.‫ ويف ذلك فساد االنساب واملواريث واملعارف‬،‫ إذ هم مشرتكون يف نكاحها‬،‫كان هلا زوجان أو أكثر من ذلك مل يعرف الولد ملن هو‬

And a reason for the man (being able to) marry four women and a Prohibition on the woman
marrying more than one is because the man, when he marries four women, the child would
be attributed to him, and if the woman were to have two husbands for her or more than that,
it would not be know who the child was for, and they would be associates in her marriage,
and in that would be corruption of the lineages and the inheritances and the recognition.

،‫ ال ميلك نفسه وال له مال إمنا ينفق عليه مواله‬،‫وعلة تزويج العبد اثنتني ال أكثر منه النه نصف رجل حر يف الطالق والنكاح‬
.‫ وليكون أقل الشتغاله عن خدمة مواليه‬،‫وليكون ذلك فرقا بينه وبني احلر‬

And a reason for the slave marrying two, not more than that is because he is half the free man
regarding the divorce and the marriage. He does not own himself nor is there any wealth for
him. But rather, he would be spent upon by his master, and that would happen to be a
differentiation between him and the free one, and he would be of less pre-occupation from
serving his master.

‫ وليكون ذلك ختويفا‬،‫ أو سكون غضب إن كان‬،‫وعلة الطالق ثالاث ملا فيه من املهلة فيما بني الواحدة إىل الثالث لرغبة حتدث‬
.‫ فاستحقت املرأة الفرقة واملباينة لدخوهلا فيما ال ينبغي من معصية زوجها‬،‫وأتديبا للنساء وزجرا هلن عن معصية أزواجهن‬

And a reason for the divorce being three (times) is due to what is in it from the respite in what
is between the one up to the three for desire to re-occur, or the anger to subside if there was
any, and for that to be a scare and a discipline for the women and a rebuke for them from
disobeying their husbands. So, the woman would be deserving of the separation and the
irrevocable divorce due to her entering into what is not befitting from disobeying her
husband.

Page 131 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

،‫ وليكون انظرا يف أمره‬،‫ وال تستضعف املرأة‬،‫وعلة حترمي املرأة بعد تسع تطليقات فال حتل له أبدا عقوبة لئال يتالعب ابلطالق‬
.‫ وليكون أيسا هلما من االجتماع بعد تسع تطليقات‬،‫متيقظا معتربا‬

And a reason for the Prohibition of the woman nine divorces so she would not be Permissible
for him, ever, as a punishment, lest he plays around with the divorce, nor weaken the woman,
and for he to become considering in his affairs, wakeful, learning a lesson, and it to become a
despair for them both from the copulation after nine divorces.

‫ وكذلك يف الفرق يف العدة للمتوىف‬،‫وعلة طالق اململوك اثنتني الن طالق االمة على النصف فجعله اثنتني احتياطا لكمال الفرائض‬
.‫عنها زوجها‬

And a reason for the divorce of the slave to be twice is because a divorce of the main is upon
half, so it is Made to be two as a precaution to perfect the Obligation, and like that is the
difference regarding the waiting period of the widow from her husband.

‫ فلذلك ال جيوز شهادهتن إال يف موضع‬،‫وعلة ترك شهادة النساء يف الطالق واهلالل لضعفهن عن الرؤية وحماابهتن النساء يف الطالق‬
،‫ كضرورة جتويز شهادة أهل الكتاب إذا مل يوجد غريهم‬،‫ وما ال جيوز للرجال أن ينظروا إليه‬،‫ضرورة مثل شهادة القابلة‬

And a reason for neglecting a testimony of the woman in the divorce and the (sighting of) the
crescent due to their weakness about the sighting and the experiences of the women
regarding the divorce. Therefore, due to that, their testimonies are not allowed except in
necessary places like a testimony of the midwife, and what is not allowed for the men that
they should be looking at, like a necessary marriage testimony of the people of the Book when
others cannot be found.

‫ ومثل شهادة الصبيان على القتل إذا مل يوجد‬،‫ أو آخران من غريكم كافرين‬،‫ اثنان ذوا عدل منكم مسلمني‬:‫ويف كتاب هللا عزوجل‬
.‫غريهم‬

And in the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: two (men) from you possessing justice, or
two other from others (non-Muslims) [5:106], being Kafirs, and like the testimony of the
children upon the murder, when others cannot be found.

‫ ملا فيه‬،‫والعلة يف شهادة أربعة يف الزان واثنني يف سائر احلقوق لشدة حد احملصن الن فيه القتل فجعلت الشهادة فيه مضاعفة مغلظة‬
.‫ وذهاب نسب ولده ولفساد املرياث‬،‫من قتل نفسه‬

And the reason regarding the four testimonies (being required) regarding the adultery and
two regarding the rest of the rights due to the severity of the legal penalty of the married
man, because therein is the killing, so the testimonies have been Made to be double regarding
it, harsh, due to what is in it from killing of a soul, and the doing away of the lineage of his
chid and corrupting the inheritances.

‫ " يهب ملن يشاء إاناث ويهب‬:‫وعلة حتليل مال الولد لوالده بغري إذنه وليس ذلك للولد الن الوالد موهوب للوالد يف قول هللا عزوجل‬
" ‫ملن يشاء الذكور‬

And a reason for the Permissibility of the wealth of the child for his father without his
permission, and that isn’t for the child because the child is gifted to his father in the Words of
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: He Grants to whom He pleases daughters and Grants to whom
He pleases sons. [42:49].

‫ " ادعوهم آلابئهم هو أقسط عند هللا " وقول النيب‬:‫ واملنسوب إليه واملدعو له لقول هللا عزوجل‬،‫مع أنه املأخوذ مبؤونته صغريا وكبريا‬
‫ أو إبذن االب الن االب مأخوذ بنفقة‬،‫ وليست الوالدة كذلك ال أتخذ من ماله إال إبذنه‬،‫ أنت ومالك البيك‬:‫صلى هللا عليه واله‬
.‫ وال تؤخذ املرأة بنفقة ولدها‬،‫الولد‬

Along with that, he is takes in his service, small and big, and attributed to him, and the claimed
to him due to the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Assert them to their fathers, this
is more equitable in the Presence of Allah. [33:5]. And the words of the Prophet-saww: ‘You
and your wealth are for your father’. And the mother isn’t like that. She cannot take from his
wealth except by his permission, or by the permission of the father, because the father is
seized with the expenditure of the son, and the woman is not seized with the expenditure of
her son.

‫ وال ميكن إقامة‬،‫والعلة يف أن البينة يف مجيع احلقوق على املدعي واليمني على املدعى عليه ما خال الدم الن املدعى عليه جاحد‬
‫ وصارت البينة يف الدم على املدعي عليه واليمني على املدعي النه حوط حيتاط به املسلمون لئال‬،‫البينة على اجلحود النه جمهول‬
.‫ لشدة إقامة لبينة عليه الن من يشهد على أنه مل يفعل قليل‬،‫ وليكون ذلك زاجرا وانهيا للقاتل‬،‫يبطل دم امرئ مسلم‬

And the reason that the proof (onus) regarding the entirety of the right is upon the claimant,
and the oath is upon the defendant except for the blood, because the defendant is fought
and he isn’t able upon establishing the proof upon the rejection because it is unknown, and
the proving regarding the blood came to be upon the defendant, and the swearing upon the
claimant because it is a safeguard the Muslims have been safeguarded with, lest the blood of
a Muslim person be invalidated, and for that to become a rebuke and a prevention of the
killer, due to the severity of establishing the proof against him, because the ones who testify
upon that he did not do, are few’.

.‫وأما علة القسامة أن جعلت سني رجال فلما يف ذلك من التغليظ والتشديد واالحتياط لئال يهدر دم امرئ مسلم‬

And as for a reason of Al-Qasamah been Made to be fifty men, is due to what is in that from
the harshness, and the emphasis, and the precaution, lest the blood of a Muslim person is
(unlawfully) spilt.

‫وعلة قطع اليمني من السارق النه يباشر االشياء غالبا بيمينه وهي أفضل أعضائه " وأنفعها له فجعل قطعها نكاال وعربة للخلق‬
.‫ والنه أكثر ما يباشر السرقة بيمينه‬،‫لئال يبتغوا أخذ االموال من غري حلها‬

Page 133 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

And a reason for cutting the right hand from the thief is because he often proceeds with the
things overcoming by his right hand, and it is the superior of his limbs, and most beneficial to
him, so its cutting is Made to be an exemplary punishment and a lessor for the people, lest
they seek to take the wealth from non-permissible means, and because most of the time the
thief would precede with his right hand.

.‫ والفساد حمرم ملا فيه من الفناء وغري ذلك من وجوه الفساد‬،‫وحرم غصب االموال وأخذها من غري حلها ملا فيه من أنواع الفساد‬

And usurpation of the wealth(s) and it’s taking from non-permissible means, there is a variety
of the corruptions in it, and the corruption of the prohibited one to what is therein from the
annihilation and other than that from the aspects of the corruption.

‫ وما يدعوا‬،‫ وملا أييت يف التغاصب من القتل والتنازع والتحاسد‬،‫وحرم السرقة ملا فيها من فساد االموال وقتل االنفس لو كانت مباحة‬
.‫ واقتناء االموال إذا كان الشئ املقتىن ال يكون أحد أحق به من أحد‬،‫إىل ترك التجارات والصناعات يف املكاسب‬

And the theft is Prohibited due to what is in it from the corruption of the wealth and killing of
the soul even if it was legal, and due to what comes during the usurpation from the killing and
the snatching and the envying, and what calls to leaving the trading and the manufacturing
regarding the earnings, and the acquisition of the wealth when the thing being acquired was
such that there was no one more rightful with it than anyone else.

‫وعلة ضرب الزاين على جسده أبشد الضرب ملباشرته الزان واستلذاذ اجلسد كله به فجعل الضرب عقوبة له وعربة لغريه وهو أعظم‬
.‫اجلناايت‬

And a reason for striking the adulterer upon his body with a severe strike for his embarking
of the adultery and pleasures of the whole body with it, so the strike is made to be a
punishment for him and a lesson for others, and it is the most grievous of the crimes.

‫ وكذلك شارب اخلمر‬،‫ وذهاب النسب‬،‫ وقطع النسل‬،‫وعلة ضرب القاذف وشارب اخلمر مثانني جلدة الن يف القذف نفي الولد‬
.‫النه إذا شرب هذى وإذا هذى افرتى فوجب حد املفرتي‬

And a reason for the (false) accuser (of adultery) and the drinker of wine of eighty lashes is
because in the (false) accusation is a negation of the child, and cutting off the lineage, and
removal of the lineage; and similar to that is the drinker of the wine, hallucinating when he
hallucinates, he fabricates, so the legal penalty of the fabricator is Obligated.

،‫وعلة القتل بعد إقامة احلد يف الثالثة على الزاين والزانية الستخفافهما وقلة مباالهتما ابلضرب حىت كأهنما مطلق هلما ذلك الشئ‬
.‫وعلة اخرى أن املستخف ابهلل وابحلد كافر فوجب عليه القتل لدخوله يف الكفر‬

And a reason for the killing after establishing the legal penalty during the third (time) upon
the adulterer and the adulteress due to them taking it lightly, and little of their care with the
striking until it is as if that is an absolute thing for them. And another reason is one taking
lightly with Allah-azwj and with the legal penalties is a Kafir, so the killing is Obligated due to
his entry into the Kufr.

‫ وملا يف إتيان الذكران الذكران واالانث‬،‫ وما طبع عليه الذكران‬،‫ واالانث لالانث ملا ركب يف االانث‬،‫وعلة حترمي الذكران للذاكران‬
.‫لالانث من انقطاع النسل و فساد التدبري وخراب الدنيا‬

And reason for the Prohibition of the male to the male and the female to the female is due to
what is instilled in the females, and what the males are natured upon, and due to what is in
the males coming to the males and the females to the females, from the termination of the
lineages and corruption of the planning and ruination of the world.

‫ وحتليل بقر الوحش وغريها من أصناف ما يؤكل من الوحش احملللة الن‬،‫وأحل هللا تعاىل البقر والغنم واالبل لكثرهتا وإمكان وجودها‬
.‫ وال يف خلقها تشويه‬،‫ وال مضرة ابالنس‬،‫ وال هي مضرة بعضها ببعض‬،‫غذاءها غري مكروه وال حمرم‬

And Allah-azwj Exalted Permitted the cow and the sheep and the camel due to their abundance
and possibility of their being found, and Permissibility of the wild cow and other from the
types what can be eaten from the Permissible animals is because their food intake is not
abhorrent nor prohibited, nor are they harmful to each other, nor harmful for the people, nor
are there any lustful desires in their creation.

.‫ ال لقذر خلقها وال قذر غذائها‬،‫وكرة أكل حلوم البغال واحلمري االهلية حلاجة الناس إىل ظهورها واستعماهلا واخلوف من قلتها‬

And it is abhorrent to eat the flesh of the mule and the domesticated donkey is for a need of
the people to their backs and their utilisation and the fear from their being killed, not for the
dirtiness of their creation nor of dirtiness of their food intake.

‫ وما يدعو التهييج إليه من الفساد‬،‫وحرم النظر إىل شعور النساء احملجوب ابالزواج وإىل غريهن من النساء ملا فيه من هتييج الرجال‬
‫ " والقواعد من النساء الاليت ال يرجون نكاحا‬:‫ إال الذي قال هللا عزوجل‬،‫والدخول فيما ال حيل وال جيمل وكذلك ما أشبه الشعور‬
.‫ فال أبس ابلنظر إىل شعور مثلهن‬،‫فليس عليهن جناح أن يضعن ثياهبن غري متربجات " أي غري اجللباب‬

And it is Prohibited to look at the hair of the veiled women with husbands and to others from
the women is due to what is in it from the stirring of the men, and what the stirring calls
towards the corruption and the entry into what is not Permissible nor beautiful. And similar
to that is what resembles the hair, except that which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘And
the post-menopausal from the women, those who do not hope for marriage, there isn’t any
blame upon them if they put off their clothes without displaying the ornaments. [24:60], i.e.
without robes, so there is no problem with the looking at the hairs of the likes of these.

.‫ والرجل يعطي فلذلك وفر على الرجال‬،‫وعلة إعطاء النساء نصف ما يعطى الرجال من املرياث الن املرأة إذا تزوجت أخذت‬

And a reason for giving the women half of what is given to the men from the inheritances is
because the woman, when she marries, she takes and the man gives. Therefore, due to that
it is fulfilled upon the men.

Page 135 of 380

Bihar Al-Anwaar Volume 6 www.hubeali.com

‫ وليس على املرأة أن‬.‫ وعليه أن يعوهلا وعليه نفقتها‬،‫وعلة اخرى يف إعطاء الذكر مثلي ما تعطى االنثى يف عيال الذكر إن احتاجت‬
‫ " الرجال قوامو على النساء مبا‬:‫ وذلك قول هللا عزوجل‬،‫ فوفر هللا تعاىل على الرجال لذلك‬،‫تعول الرجل وال تؤخذ بنفقته إذا احتاج‬
." ‫فضل هللا بعضهم على بعض ومبا أنفقوا من أمواهلم‬

And another reason in giving the male double of what is given to the females in the
dependants of the male if needed, and upon him is that he supports her and upon him is her
expenditure. And it isn’t upon the woman that she supports the man, nor be seized with his
expenditure when needed. Thus, Allah-azwj the Exalted Fulfilled upon the men due to that, and
these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Men are guardians of the women due
to what Allah has Made some of them to excel others and because they are spending from
their wealth. [4:34].

‫ واملرأة جيوز أن ينقطع ما بينها‬،‫وعلة املرأة أهنا ال ترث من العقار شيئا إال قيمة الطوب والنقض الن العقار ال ميكن تغيريه وقلبه‬
‫ فما‬،‫ واملرأة ميكن االستبدال هبا‬،‫ النه ال ميكن التفصي منهما‬،‫ وليس الولد والوالد كذلك‬،‫وبينه من العصمة وجيوز تغيريها وتبديلها‬
‫جيوز أن جيئ ويذهب كان مرياثه فيما جيوز تبديله وتغيريه إذ أشبهه وكان الثابت املقيم على حاله ملن كان مثله يف الثبات والقيام‬

And a reason for the woman that she does not inherit anything from the real estate except
price of the bricks and mortar, because the real estate is not possible to change it and turn it,
and the woman is allowed to terminate from the marriage what is between him and her, and
it is allowed, her changing and her replacement, and it isn’t like that for the son and the father,
because the distinction is not possible from them, and woman, it is possible the replacement
with her. Thus, it is not allowed that it comes and goes what was his inheritance, if what is
allowed its replacement and its changing, when it resembles it, and it was affirmed, staying
upon its state for the one who was like it, in the affirmation and the standing’’.109

Ibn al Mutawakkal, from Al Sa’ad Abady, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan who said,

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Musa Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Prohibited the wine
due to what is therein from the corruption, and from it changing the intellects of its drinker,
and it carrying them upon the denial of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the calumny
(slander) upon Him-azwj and upon His-azwj Rasools-as and the rest of what could happen from
them from the corruption and the killing, and the slander, and the adultery, and scarcity of
the shunning from something from the Prohibition.

‫ فليجتنب من يؤمن ابهلل‬،‫ النه أييت من عاقبتها ما أييت من عاقبة اخلمر‬،‫فبذلك قضينا على كل مسكر من االشربة أنه حرام حمرم‬

So, with that, we-asws judged upon every intoxication from the drinks that it is Prohibited, illicit,
because there would come from its consequences what would come from the consequences
of the wine, therefore he should keep aside, one who believes in Allah-azwj and the Last Day,

In it are explanatory enlightening Arguments of Allah-azwj, and its Prohibition are the
Prohibited, and its merits are registered, and its sentence is sufficient, and its allowance is the

So, He-azwj Obligated the Eman as a cleanser from the Shirk, and the Salat as a drain from the
arrogance, and the Zakat as an increase in the sustenance, and the Fasts an affirmation of the
sincerity, and the Hajj as a support for the Religion, and the justice as a withholding for the

separations, and the Jihad as an honour for Al-Islam, and the patience as an assistance upon

(fulfilment) of the vows is an exposure to the Forgiveness, and fulfilment of the measures and
the weights as a changing of the cheating, and shunning the slandering the married woman
as a veil from the Curse, and shunning the theft as a response to the chastity.

‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww and said to me-saww: ‘O Ahmad-saww! Al-Islam is of ten parts, and he
has lost, one who has no share for him in these – The first of it is the testimony that there is
no god except Allah-azwj and it is the phrase (spoken); and the second is the Salat and it is the
cleansing; and the third is Zakat and it is Al-Fitra; and the fourth is the Fast and it is the shield;
and the fifth is the Hajj and it is the Law; and the sixth is the Jihad and it is the honour; and
the seventh is the enjoining with the goodness and it is the loyalty; and the eighth is the
forbidding from the evil and it is the argument; and the night is the congregation and it is the
affinity; and the tenth is the obedience and it is the protection’.

He (Anas Bin Malik) said, ‘He-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww (and said): ‘An example of
this Religion is like an example of an affirmed tree – the Eman is its root, and the Salat is its
veins, and the Zakat it is waters, and the Fast is its foliage, and good manners are its leaves,
and the refraining from the Prohibitions are its fruits. The tree is not perfect except with fruits,
like that the Eman is not perfect except with the refrainment from the Prohibitions’’.112

‫ العني‬:‫ مما أجاب الرضا عليه السالم حبضرة املأمون لصباح بن نصر اهلندي و عمران الصايب عن مسائلهما قال عمران‬:‫ قب‬- 6
‫نور مركبة أم الروح تبصر االشياء من منظرها ؟‬

From what Al-Reza-asws answered in the presence of Al-Mamoun to Sabah Bin Nasr Al-Hindy,
and Imran Al-Saby of their questions. Imran said, ‘Is the eye a vehicle of light or does the soul
see the things from its own looking?’

‫ واالنسان ال يرى‬،‫ دليله أنك تنظر فيه فرتى صورتك يف وسطه‬،‫ والنظر للروح‬،‫ العني شحمة وهو البياض والسواد‬:‫قال عليه السالم‬
،‫صورته إال يف ماء أو مرآة وما أشبه ذلك‬

He-asws said: ‘The eye is a piece of fat, and it is the white and the black, and the looking is for
the soul, it’s evidence is, you look into it and you will see your face in its middle, and the
human being cannot see his own face except in water or a mirror and what resembles that’.

،‫ كالشمس طالعة يغشاها الظالم‬:‫ فإذا عميت العني كيف صارت الروح قائمة والنظر ذاهب ؟ قال‬:‫قال صباح‬

Sabah said, ‘So, when the eye is blinded, how come the soul remains standing the looking is
gone?’ He-asws said: ‘Like the sun emerging overwhelms the darkness’.

‫ الروح‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أوضح ىل ذلك‬:‫ أين يذهب الضوء الطالع من الكوة يف البيت إذا سدت الكوة ؟ قال‬:‫ اين تذهب الروح ؟ قال‬:‫قاال‬
‫ فإذا غابت الدارة‬،‫ وشعاعها منبث يف اجلسد مبنزلة الشمس دارهتا يف السماء وشعاعها منبسط على االرض‬،‫مسكنها يف الدماغ‬
.‫ وإذا قطعت الرأس فال روح‬،‫فال مشس‬

They both said, ‘Where does the soul go?’ He-asws said: ‘Where does the illumination from the
crack in the house go when the crack is sealed?’ He said, ‘Clarify that for me’. He-asws said: ‘The
soul is settled in the brain, and its rays are a network inside the body at the status of the sun,
its orbit is in the sky and its rays are extended upon the earth. So, when the orbiting is absent,
then there is no sun, and when the head is cut off, so there is no soul’.

‫ وجعلها فصال يستدل هبا على الرجال من‬،‫ زين هللا الرجال ابللحى‬،‫ فما ابل الرجل يلتحي دون املرأة ؟ قال عليه السالم‬:‫قاال‬
.‫النساء‬

They said, ‘So what is the matter that the man has a beard besides the woman?’ He -asws said:
‘Allah-azwj Adorned the men with the beard, and Made it as a distinction pointing with it upon
the men from the women’.

‫ ما ابل الرجل إذا كان مؤنثا واملرأة إذا كانت مذكرة ؟‬:‫قال عمران‬

115
Bihar Al Anwaar – V 6, The book of Justice, S 1, Ch 25 H 5

He said, ‘So, what is the matter with the man when the man is effeminate and the woman
when she was manly?’

‫ وإذا صارت اجلارية موضع‬،‫ علة ذلك أن املرأة إذا محلت وصار الغالم منها يف الرحم موضع اجلارية كان مؤنثا‬:‫قال عليه السالم‬
،‫ واجلارية مما يلي مياسرها‬،‫ وذلك أن موضع الغالم يف الرحم مما يلي ميامنها‬،‫الغالم كانت مذكرة‬

He-asws said: ‘A reason of that is that the woman, when she is pregnant and the body comes
to be from her in the womb in place of the girl, he would be effeminate, and when the girl
comes to be in place of the boy, she would be manly, and that is because the place of the boy
in the woman is from what follows from its right, and the girl is from what follows its left.

‫ وإن عظم أحد ثدييها كان ذلك دليال على أهنا تلد‬،‫ورمبا ولدت املرأة ولدين يف بطن واحد فإن عظم ثدايها مجيعا حتمل توأمني‬
‫ وإذا كانت حامال فضمر ثديها‬،‫ وإذا كان االيسر أعظم كان املولود انثى‬،‫واحدا إال أنه إذا كان الثدي االمين أعظم كان املولود ذكرا‬
.‫ وإذا ضمرا مجيعا تسقطهما مجيعا‬،‫ وإذا ضمر ثديها االيسر فإهنا تسقط انثى‬،‫االمين فإهنا تسقط غالما‬

And sometimes the woman gives birth to two children in one belly (pregnancy). So, if both
her breasts are large she would carry safely, and it one of her breasts was large that would be
evidence upon that she would give birth to one, except if it was the right breast being larger,
her new-born would be male, and it was the left one larger, her new-born would be a girl, and
when her right breast thins out, a boy would be miscarried, and when her left breast thins
out, a female would be miscarried, and when both thin out together, both of them would be
miscarried’.

‫ وإن استطالت‬،‫ من قبل النطفة إذا خرجت من الذكر فاستدارت جاء القصر‬:‫ من أي شئ الطول والقصر يف االنسان ؟ فقال‬:‫قاال‬
.‫جاء الطول‬

They said, ‘From which thing is the tallness and the shortness in the human being?’ He-asws
said: ‘From a direction of the seed when it comes out from the male and it turns around, the
shortness would come to be, and if it prolongs, the tallness would come to be’.

‫ وبعضه ماء عليه‬،‫ بعضه من السماء و يسلكه يف االرض ينابيع‬،‫ أصل املاء خشية هللا‬:‫ ما أصل املاء ؟ قال عليه السالم‬:‫قال صباح‬
.‫ وأصله واحد عذب فرات‬،‫االرضون‬

Sabah said, ‘What is the origin of the water?’ He-asws said: ‘The origin of the water is fear of
Allah-azwj. Some of it is from the sky and travels in the earth as springs, and some of it, the
earth is upon it (underground), and its origin is one, sweet, fresh’.

‫ وكما انقلبت اخلمر‬،‫ غريه اجلوهر وانقلبت كانقالب العصري را‬:‫ فكيف منها عيون نفط وكربيت وقاروملح وأشباه ذلك ؟ قال‬:‫قال‬
.‫ وكما خيرج من بني فرث ودم لبنا خالصا‬،‫فصارت خال‬

He said, ‘Then how come from these are springs of oil, and sulphur, and bitumen, and salt and
resembling that?’ He-asws said: ‘The essence changes it and it transforms like the

transformation of the juice into wine, and just as the wine transforms and becomes vinegar,
and just as from between faeces and blood, pure milk comes out’.

‫ انقلب منها كانقالب النطفة علقة مث مضغة مث خلقة جمتمعة مبنية على املتضادات‬:‫ فمن أين أخرجت أنواع اجلواهر ؟ قال‬:‫قال‬
.‫االربع‬

He said, ‘From where do the variety of essences come out?’ He-asws said: ‘They get
transformed from these like the transformation of the seed into a clot, then (into a) lump,
then (into) a collectively built body upon the four antibodies.

‫ سلبت النداوة فصارت‬:‫ إذا كانت االرض خلقت من املاء واملاء ابرد رطب فكيف صارت االرض ابردة ايبسة ؟ قال‬:‫قال عمران‬
.‫ايبسة‬

Imran said, ‘When the earth was Created from the water, and the water is cold, wet, then
how come the earth cooled as dry?’ He-asws said: ‘The moisture was withdrawn so it became
dry’.

‫ الن احلر من حر احليات والربد من برد املوت وكذلك السموم القاتلة احلار‬،‫ بل احلر أنفع من الربد‬:‫ احلر أنفع أم الربد ؟ قال‬:‫قال‬
.‫منها أسلم وأقل ضررا من السموم الباردة‬

He said, ‘Is the heat more beneficial or the cold?’ He-asws said: ‘But, the heat is more beneficial
than the cold, because the heat is from the heat of life, and the cold is from the coldness of
the death, and similar to that are the killer poisons, the hot ones from these are safer and less
harmful than the cold poisons.

،‫ ويف الصالة توقري له وتبجيل وخضوع من العبد إذا سجد‬،‫ وشريعة محلهم عليها‬،‫ طاعة أمرهم هبا‬:‫وسأاله عن علة الصالة فقال‬
.‫واالقرار أبن فوقه راب يعبده و يسجد له‬

And they both asked him-asws about the reason for the Salat, so he-asws said: ‘And (act of)
obedience they have been Commanded with, and a Law carrying them upon it. And in the
Salat, there is dignity to Him-azwj and a reverence, and humbleness from the servant when he
does Sajdah, and the acceptance with that above him there is a Lord -azwj he is worshipping
and doing Sajdah to.

‫ امتحنهم بضرب من الطاعة كيما ينالوا هبا عنده الدرجات ليعرفهم فضل ما أنعم عليهم من‬:‫وسأاله عن الصوم فقال عليه السالم‬
.‫ وإذا عطشوا يوم صومهم ذكروا يوم العطش االكرب يف اآلخرة وزادهم ذلك رغبة يف الطاعة‬،‫لذة املاء وطيب اخلبز‬

And they asked him about the Fasts, so he-asws said: ‘Their examination with a variety from
the (acts of) obedience in order to attain with it the ranks in His -azwj Presence for Him-azwj to
Make them recognise the merits of what He-azwj has Favoured upon them, from the pleasures
of (drinking) the water and (eating) the good bread. And when they are thirsty on the day of
their Fasts, they would remember the thirst of the Great Day in the Hereafter, and that would
increase them in desire regarding the obedience’.

And they asked him, ‘Why is the adultery Prohibited?’ He -asws said: ‘Due to that is from the

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the Glorious Placed the Rewards upon His-azwj

The Verses – (Surah) Al Mulk: Who Created the death and the life in order to Try you, which
of you is best in deeds, and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving [67:2]

Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘A group came to a Prophet-as of theirs and they said, ‘Supplicate to
your-as Lord-azwj for us to raise the death from us’. So, he-as supplication for them and Allah-azwj
Blessed and Exalted, Raised the death from them, and they multiplied until the houses were
constrained with them and the lineages were a lot. And the man would wake up in the
morning and he would be needy to feed his father, and his mother, and his grandfather, and
grandfather of his grandfather, and he would clean them and stay with them, and was too
pre-occupied from seeking the livelihood.

.‫ فسأل ربه عزوجل فردهم إىل آجاهلم‬،‫ سل ربك أن يردان إىل آجالنا اليت كنا عليها‬:‫فأتوه فقالوا‬

They came to him-as and said, ‘Ask your-as Lord-azwj that He-azwj should Return to us our terms
(life-spans) which we used to be upon’. So, he-as asked his-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and
He-azwj Returned their life-spans to them’’.122

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Husayn Bin Is’haq, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Fazalat, from Musa Bin Bakr, from
Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The life and the death are two creations from the Creation
of Allah-azwj. So, when the death comes and enters into the human being, it does not enter
into anything except and the life exits from it’’.123

The number (of reporters), from Sahl, from one of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Sakeyn who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws was asked about the man who says, ‘Allah-azwj Prefers so and so’. He-asws
said: ‘That is abhorrent’. It was said, ‘So and so is excited with himself (to die)’. He-asws said:
‘There is no problem. But, do you not see him opening his mouth during his death twice or
thrice, so that is where he is excited with it due to what he sees from the Rewards of Allah -
azwj Mighty and Majestic, and he had been guessing with it beforehand’’.124

From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘But rather, the human being became eating and drinking
by the fire, and sees and works with the light, and he hears and smells with the wind, and find
the taste and drinks with the water, and he moves with the soul’ – and the crux of the Hadeeth
up to he-asws said:

‫ فإذا مجع هللا بينهما صارت حياته يف االرض النه نزل من شأن السماء إىل‬،‫فهكذا االنسان خلق من شأن الدنيا وشأن اآلخرة‬
،‫ ترد شأن االخرى إىل السماء‬،‫ فإذا فرق هللا بينهما صارت تلك الفرقة املوت‬،‫الدنيا‬

‘That is how the human being is Created from a bond of the world and a bond of the Hereafter.
When Allah-azwj Gathers between the two, it becomes his life in the world, because he
descended from a bond of the sky to the earth. So, when Allah-azwj Separates between the
two that separation becomes the death, the other bond returns to the sky.

،‫ وحتركت الروح ابلنفس حركتها من الريح‬،‫االول‬

Then, the life would be in the earth and the death in the sky, and that is because there is a
separation between the souls and the body, so the soul and the light return to the former
holiness, and the body is left because it is from a bond of the world. And rather, the body is
in the world because the wind evaporates the water and it dries up, and there remains the
clay and it would become a residue and decay, and everything would return to its former
essence, and the soul moves with the self, its movement being from the wind.

Thus, whatever was from a self of the Momin, so it is a light adherent with the intellect, and
whatever was from a self of the Kafir, so it is a fire adherent with the denial. So, this one is an
image of fire, and this one is an image of light, and the death is a Mercy from Allah-azwj to His-
azwj Momineen servants, and a scourge upon the Kafirs’’.125

Muhammad Bin Yahya raising it,

‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘A Prophet-as from the Prophets-as supplicated
against his-as people. It was said to him-as, ‘Will their enemies overcome upon them?’ He-as
said: ‘No’. It was said to him-as, ‘The hunger?’ He-as said: ‘No’. It was said to him-as, ‘Then what
do you-as want?’ He-as said: ‘A quick death grieving the heart and reducing the numbers’, so
the plague was Sent upon them’’.142

،‫ وكانوا حىت أن املار يف تلك الطرق كان ينحي عظامهم برجله عن الطريق‬،‫الطاعون فصاروا إىل مفازة فماتوا يف ليلة واحدة كلهم‬
.‫مث أحياهم هللا عزوجل وردهم إىل منازهلم وعاشوا دهرا طويال مث ماتوا و دفنوا‬

Have you not seen those who exited [2:243] – the Verse. He said, ‘It was the occurrence of
plague at Syria in one of the places, so a lot of people went out fleeing from the plague and
they came to a wilderness, and they all died in one night. And they were there until the passer-
by in that road would kick their bones with his leg from the road. Then Allah -azwj Mighty and
Majestic Revived them and Returned them to their houses, and they lived for a long time,
then they died and they were buried’.143 (P.S. – This is not a Hadeeth)

The number (of reporters), from Sahl, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yaaeed, and someone else,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, and one of them from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Allah-
azwj Mighty and Majestic: Have you not seen those who exited from their homes fearing

death, and they were thousands, so Allah Said to them: “Die!” Then He Revived them
[2:243]. He-asws said: ‘These were city folk from the cities of Syria, and there were seventy
thousand households, and plague used to occur among them every time. So, whenever they
sensed it, the rich ones would exit the city due to their (financial) strength and the poor would
remain due to their (financial) weakness.

:‫ ويقول الذين أقاموا‬،‫ لو كنا أقمنا لكثر فينا املوت‬:‫ فيقول الذين خرجوا‬،‫ ويقل يف الذين خرجوا‬،‫فكان املوت يكثر يف الذين أقاموا‬
،‫لو كنا خرجنا لقل فينا املوت‬

So, the death occurred mostly among those who would remain and less among those who
went out. So those who left said, ‘Had we been of those who remained, death would have
been frequent among us’. And those who remained said, ‘Had we been of those who went
out, death would have been less among us’.

‫ فلما أحسوا ابلطاعون خرجوا مجيعا وتنحوا عن‬،‫ فامجع رأيهم مجيعا أنه إذا وقع الطاعون وأحسوا به خرجوا كلهم من املدينة‬:‫قال‬
،‫الطاعون حذر املوت‬

He-asws said: ‘So they formed a consensus of their opinions that whenever they would sense
the plague occurring among them, all of them would go out from the city. When they sensed
the plague affecting them, all of them went out and took precaution against the death.

‫ مث إهنم مروا مبدينة خربة قد جال أهلها عنها وأفناهم الطاعون فنزلوا هبا فلما حطوا رحاهلم واطمأنوا هبا‬،‫فساروا يف البالد ما شاء هللا‬
‫ فماتوا من ساعتهم وصاروا رميما عظاما تلوح وكانوا على طريق املارة فكنستهم املارة فنحوهم ومجعوهم‬،‫ موتوا مجيعا‬:‫قال هللا عزوجل‬
،‫يف موضع‬

So, they travelled in the countryside for as long as Allah-azwj so Desired. Then they passed by
a city which was in ruins and its inhabitants had all left, being destroyed by the plague. So,
they encamped there, and settled their belongings being reassured by it. Allah-azwj Said to
them: “All of you die!” They all died at that instant and became decayed. The passers-by
passed by and collected their ashes (remains) and gathered them in one place.

‫ اي رب ! لو شئت الحييتهم الساعة‬:‫ وقال‬،‫ حزقيل فلما رأى تلك العظام بكى واستعرب‬:‫فمر هبم نيب من أنبياء بين إسرائيل يقال له‬
،‫ وعبدوك مع من يعبدك من خلقك‬،‫ وولدوا عبادك‬،‫كما أمتتهم فعمروا بالدك‬

Then a Prophet-as from the Prophets-as of the Children of Israel passed by them, whose name
was Hizkeel-as. So, when he-as saw those bones, he-as wept and reflected upon it and said: ‘O
Lord-azwj! If You-azwj so Wish, You-azwj can Revive them instantly, just as You-azwj Caused them to
die, so they would then inhabit Your-azwj Country, and bear Your-azwj servants who would
worship You-azwj along with those from Your-azwj creatures who worship You-azwj’.

‫ فقال الذي أمره هللا‬،‫ كذا وكذا‬:‫ قل‬:‫ فأوحى هللا عزوجل إليه‬:‫ قال‬،‫ نعم اي رب فأحيهم‬:‫ أفتحب ذلك ؟ فقال‬:‫فأوحى هللا تعاىل إليه‬
‫عزوجل أن يقوله‬

So Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed unto him-as: “Is that what you-as would like to happen?’ He-
as said: ‘Yes, O Lord-azwj! Revive them”. So Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-as; “Say such and such”.

So he-as said that which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Commanded him-as to say’.

‫ فلما قال حزقيل ذلك الكالم نظر إىل العظام يطري بعضها إىل بعض فعادوا‬- ‫ وهو االسم االعظم‬:‫فقال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬
‫ أشهد أن هللا على كل شئ‬:‫ فقال حزقيل عند ذلك‬،‫ ويكربونه ويهللونه‬،‫ يسبحون هللا عز ذكره‬،‫أحياءا ينظر بعضهم إىل بعض‬
.‫قدير‬

Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘And it was the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Aazam). When Hizkeel-as said
that Word, he-as saw the bones flying towards each other. So, they came back alive. Some of
them looked at the others Glorifying Allah-azwj and Exclaiming His-azwj Greatness and Extolling
His-azwj Holiness. So Hizkeel-as said during that: ‘I-as hereby testify that Allah-azwj has Power over
all things’.

.‫ فيهم نزلت هذه اآلية‬:‫ فقال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬:‫قال عمر بن يزيد‬

Umar Bin Yazeed (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘This Verse was Revealed
regarding them’’.144

‫ إن كان‬:‫ أنربأ ممن يلحقه فإنه معذب ؟ فقال عليه السالم‬:‫ سئل زين العابدين عليه السالم عن الطاعون‬،‫ دعوات الراوندي‬- 10
،‫ وإن كان هلل عزوجل مطيعا فإن الطاعون مما متحص به ذنوبه‬،‫ طعن أو مل يطعن‬،‫عاصيا فابرأ منه‬

(The book) Dawaat Al Rawandy –

Zayn Al-Abideen-asws was asked about the plague, ‘Should we disavow from the one who is
afflicted with it, for it is a Punishment?’ He-asws said: ‘If he was disobedient, then disavow from
him, whether he was afflicted with the plague or not, but if he was obedient to Allah-azwj
Mighty and Majestic, then the plague would be from what his sins are being purified by.

‫ أما ترون أنه جعل الشمس ضياءا لعباده و منضجا لثمارهم‬،‫ واسعة قدرته ملا يشاء‬،‫ ويرحم به آخرين‬،‫إن هللا عزوجل عذب به قوما‬
.‫ومبلغا القواهتم ؟ وقد يعذب هبا قوما يبتليهم حبرها يوم القيامة بذنوهبم ويف الدنيا بسوء أعماهلم‬

Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Punishes a people with it, and Mercies a people with it. His -azwj
Power is vast to whomever He-azwj so Desires. But, do you not see that He-azwj Made the sun
as an illumination for His-azwj servants and a ripener for their fruits and a deliverer of their
subsistence? And He-azwj Punishes a people with it by it’s heat on the Day of Judgment due to
their sins, and in the world due to their evil deeds’’.145

be increasing good deeds to your good deeds (by staying alive), but if you were an evil doer,
then you are delayed for repenting, therefore do not wish for the death’’.161

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you-asws
well! One who loves to meet Allah-azwj, would Allah-azwj Love to Meet him (as well)? And one
who hates meeting Allah-azwj, would Allah-azwj (also) Hate meeting him?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’.

But, by Allah-azwj! We tend to dislike the death!’ He-asws said: ‘That isn’t where you are going
with it. But rather, that is during the witnessing, when he sees what he loves, so there
wouldn’t be anything more beloved to him than to go ahead, and Allah-azwj would Love to
Meet him, and he would love to meet Allah-azwj at that time. And/But when he sees what he
dislikes, then there wouldn’t be anything more hateful to him than meeting Allah-azwj Mighty
and Majestic, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Hate Meeting him’’.162

‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘There was a friend for Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-
asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and he was a ‘Majana’ (doesn’t care what he says or does). He was

absent for days, then he came one day and Al-Hassan-asws said to him: ‘How was your

azwj Loves and the Satan-la loves’.

So, Al-Hassan-asws laughed, then said: ‘And how is that?’ He said, ‘Because Allah-azwj Mighty
and Majestic Loves that I obey Him-azwj and not disobey Him-azwj, and it isn’t like that; and the
Satan-la loves that I disobey Allah-azwj and not obey Him-azwj, and it isn’t like that; and I love that
I love not to die and it isn’t like that’.

My father, from Sa’ad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Shuayb Al

He-asws said: ‘This isn’t upon what you are reporting. But rather, he -ra meant ‘The death in
obedience to Allah-azwj is more beloved to me-ra than the life in disobedience to Allah-azwj, and
the poverty in obedience to Allah-azwj is more beloved to me-ra than the richness in

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Not one of you would reach the realities of the Eman until
there happen to be three characteristics in him – The death happens to be more beloved to
him than the life, and the poverty more beloved to him than the riches, and the illness more
beloved to him than the health’. We said, ‘And who can become like that?’ He-asws said: ‘All of
you’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘The youth went out in one of the nights digging the graves, and
Abdullah Ibn Al Abbas was told of that, so he went out to look as what is happening from his
matter, and he paused in a corner looking at him from where the youth could not see him’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘He (the youth) entered a grave he had dug up, then he lied down in
the bottom and called out with a high voice of his, ‘O woe unto me, when I enter my grave
and am alone, and the ground speaks from beneath me and it would say, ‘Neither a hello nor
a welcome! I used to hate you while you were upon my back, so how (would it be) and you
have come to be in my belly?

But, woe be unto me! When I look at the Prophets-as paused and the Angels in rows, so from
Your-azwj Justice tomorrow, who would finish me off? And from the oppressed who would care
for me? And from the Punishment of the Fire, who would save me? I disobeyed the one who
were not deserving to be disobeyed. I pacted with my Lord-azwj time and again, but He-azwj did
not Find with me any truthfulness nor any loyalty’.

And he went on repeating this speech and wailing. When he came out from the grave Ibn
Abbas faced him and embraced him, then said to him, ‘Best of the excavators! Best of the

separated’’.169 (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

rememberer of the death with these attributes; and one who does not take a lesson with the
death, and the scarcity of his means, and the abundance of his inabilities, and the length of
his stay in the grave, and his bewilderment regarding (the Day of) Judgment, then there is no

The Prophet-saww said: ‘Remember the demolisher of the pleasures. It was said, ‘And what is
it, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘The death. A servant would not remember it upon the
realities during an ease, except the world would be constricted upon him, nor during a
difficulty except it would be enlarged upon him.

And the death is the first station from the stations of the Hereafter, and the last station from
the stations of the world, therefore beatitude is for one who is honourable during the descent
with its first (station), and beatitude is for one who improves his life in its last (station); and
the death is the closest of the things from a son of Adam-as and he counts it as remote. So,
how audacious is the human being upon himself! And how weak he is of creation!

And in the death there is salvation of the sincere ones and destruction of the criminals, and
due to that he desires the one who desires to the death, and he abhors the one who abhors
it. The Prophet-saww said: ‘One who loves to meet Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj Loves to Meet him, and
one who dislikes meeting Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj Dislikes Meeting him’’.177

From the book of Abu Al Qasim Bin Qawlawiyah who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘(The news) reached Amir Al-Momineen-asws of the death of a man
from his companions, then came another news that he had not died, so he -asws wrote to him:
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. However, there had come a news to
us-asws which shocked your brethren, then came the falsification of the first news, and that
conferred our joy, and that the joy is of imminent termination due to little ratification of the
first news.

،‫فهل أنت كائن كرجل قد ذاق املوت مث عاش بعده فسأل الرجعة فاسعف بطلبته فهو متأهب بنقل ما سره من ماله إىل دار قراره‬
‫ال يرى أن له ماال غريه ؟‬

So, are you existing like a man who had tasted the death, then lived after it, so he asks for the
return, so he is quick with seeking it, and he is ready with the transfer of what cheers him
from his wealth to the house of his settlement, not seeing that for him there is wealth other
than it?

‫ هيهات هيهات قد صبحا عادا ومثود وقروان بني‬،‫واعلم أن الليل والنهار دائبان يف نقص االعمار وإنفاد االموال و طي اآلجال‬
‫ والليل والنهار غضان جديدان ال يبليهما ما مرا به يستعدان ملن بقي‬،‫ذلك كثريا فأصبحوا قد وردوا على رهبم وقدموا على أعماهلم‬
،‫مبثل ما أصااب من مضى‬

And know that the night and the day are both constant in reducing the life-spans and the
depletion of the wealth and the collapsing of the terms. Far be it! Far be it! Aad and Samoud
had been patient, and there were many generations between that who have returned to their
Lord-azwj, and proceeded upon their deeds. And the night and the day both renew the
degrading whatever has passed with it, regaining from the remaining ones with the like of
what they had hit the ones in the past.

‫ ينتظر الداعي فنعوذ ابهلل مما‬،‫واعلم أمنا أنت نظري إخوانك وأشباهك مثلك كمثل اجلسد قد نزعت قوته فلم يبق إال حشاشة نفسه‬
.‫نعظ به مث نقصر عنه‬

example of the body whose strength has been snatched and there does not remain except

.‫ أكيس الناس من كان أشد ذكرا للموت‬:‫ قال رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله‬:‫ ضه‬- 35

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The cleverest of the people is one who was the most intense in
remembrance of the death’’.180

And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said in a sermon of his-asws: ‘Surely the peak is in front of you, and
that behind you is the Hour (coming) challenging you. Lighten (your burdens), you will catch
up, for rather your latter ones are being awaited by your former ones’’.181

.‫وإذا كنت يف إدابر واملوت يف إقبال فما أسرع امللتقى ! احلذر احلذر ! فوهللا لقد سرت حىت كأنه غفر‬

And he-asws said as well in his-asws sermon: ‘He would not escape from the death, the one who
fears it, nor would he be given the remaining, one who loves it; and one who rolls around in
the ribbons of his hopes, his term (death) would stumble him, and when he is at the back and
the death is in the front, then how quickly would the two meet! The caution! The caution, for
by Allah-azwj, He-azwj veiled to the extent as if He-azwj has forgiven’’.182

‫وكأن الذي نرى من االموات سفر عما قليل إلينا راجعون‬

Amir Al-Momineen-asws followed a funeral and he-asws heard a man laughing, so he-asws said:
‘As if the death in it, has been Prescribed upon other than us, and as if the Truth in it is
Obligated upon other than us, and as if that which we see from the deceased travelling from
what is little to us of the returning.

.‫غفلة أقوام ال يرجون حسااب وال خيافون عقااب‬

And we have been heedless from the death with a heedlessness of a people (that it) would
not descend with them, and we incline towards the world and our desires with an inclination
of a people who are certain with the staying; and our heedlessness about the (acts of)
disobedience and the sins is a heedlessness of a people who are neither hoping for a
Reckoning nor fearing a Punishment’’.185

The Prophet-saww said: ‘The most superior of the ascetism in the world is remembering the
death, and the most superior of the (acts of) worship is remembering the death, and the most
superior of the thinking is remembering the death. So, the one who is burdened by
remembrance of the death would find his grave to be a garden from the Gardens of the
Paradise’’.186

And a man said to Abu Zarr-ra, ‘What is the matter with us disliking the death?’ He-ra said,
‘Because you have built the world and ruined the Hereafter, therefore you are disliking the
transfer from a building to a ruin’. It was said to him-ra, ‘How do you-ra see our advent to Allah-

for the evil doer, is it like an absconding (slave) proceeding to his master’.

As for the Angel of death, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Allocates him in particular with one
He-azwj so Desires from His-azwj creatures, and allocates His-azwj messengers from the Angels in
particular with one He-azwj the Blessed and Exalted so Desires from His-azwj creatures, and the

The Blessed and Exalted Manages the affairs however He-azwj so Desires to, and every

intolerable except by the one Allah-azwj Eases its bearing for him and Assist him upon it from
the special ones of His-azwj Guardians-asws. It should suffice you to know that Allah-azwj Causes
to live and die, and that He-azwj Causes the soul to die upon the hands of the one He -azwj so
Desires from His-azwj creatures, from His-azwj Angels and others’’.197

The Verses – (Surah) Al Nisaa: Those whom the Angels cause to die while they are being
unjust to themselves, they are saying, ‘In which state were you?’ They are saying, ‘We were
weak in the earth’. They are saying, ‘Did not the earth of Allah happen to be capacious, so
you could have emigrated therein?’ So they, their abode is Hell, and it is an evil fate [4:97]

from him; and for the Kafir it is like the bite of a snake or the sting of a scorpion, or severer’.

Recompense of his good deeds in the world to return him to the Hereafter, and it isn’t for him
except what Obligates upon him of the Punishment. And whatever would be from the
difficulties of the Kafir over here, so it is a beginning of the Punishment of Allah-azwj to him

He-asws said: ‘The death, it is the cleanser cleaning the Momin from his sins and it would
happen to the last pain hitting them being an expiation of a last burden remaining upon them,
and a cleaner of the Kafirs from their good deeds, and it would happen to be a last pleasure

My father, from Ali Bin Muhammad Majaylawiya, from Al Kufy, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal
who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Mufazzal! Beware of the sins, caution our-asws Shias of these, for by
Allah-azwj, it is not quicker to anyone that it would be to you (Shias). If the dishonour from the
ruling authorities were to hit one of you, and that would not be except due to his sins, and it
the illness were to hit him, and that would not be except due to his sins, and it the sustenance
is Withheld from it, and it would not be except due to his sins, and whatever difficulties befall
upon him during the death, and it would not be except due to his sins’, until the ones in his -
asws presence were saying, ‘He-asws has made us gloomy with the death’.

.‫اآلخرة وعجلت لكم يف الدنيا‬

So, when he-asws saw what had entered into me, he-asws said: ‘Do you know why that is so, O
Mufazzal?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! That
is something you would not be seized with in the Hereafter, hastened with you in the
world’’.224

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘We were with him-asws in a funeral, and one
of the people said, ‘May Allah-azwj Bless me during the death and during what is after the
death’. Abu Abdullah-asws said to him: ‘During what is after the death is an extra. When there
is Blessing for you during the death, so there would be Blessing for you in what is after it’’. 225

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘For which reason, when the soul exits

Ibn Al Waleed, from Sa’ad, from Ahmad Bin Hamza Al Ashary, from Yasar Al Khadim wo said,

‘I heard Al-Reza-asws saying: ‘The most terrified what these people can be is in three places –
the day he was born and came out from the belly of his mother and he sees the world; and
the day he dies and he witnesses the Hereafter and its people; and the day he is resurrected
and he sees Judgments he did not see in the house of the world.

‫ " وسالم عليه يوم ولد ويوم ميوت ويوم يبعث‬:‫وقد سلم هللا عزوجل على حيىي عليه السالم يف هذه الثالثة املواطن وآمن روعته فقال‬
‫ " والسالم علي يوم ولدت ويوم أموت ويوم‬:‫حيا " وقد سلم عيسى بن مرمي عليه السالم على نفسه يف هذه الثالثة املواطن فقال‬

And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Sent Greetings upon Yahya-as in these three times and
Settled his-as fear, so He-azwj Said: And peace be on him on the day he was born, and on the
day he died, and on the day he would be Resurrected alive [19:15]. And Isa-as Bin Maryam-as
has send Peace upon himself-as in these three times, so he-as Said: And the Peace was upon
me on the day I was born, and on the day I die, and on the day I am Resurrected alive

My father, from Sa’ad, from al Asbahany, from Al Minqary, from Abdul Razaq, from Ma’mar, from al Zuhry who
said,

‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘The most difficult times of the son of Adam-as are three – the
time in which he witnesses the Angel of death, and the time in which he would be standing
from his grave, and the time in which he would pause in front of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted,
so either he would go to the Paradise or he would go to the Fire’.

،‫ وإن جنوت ايبن آدم حني توضع يف قربك فأنت أنت وإال هلكت‬،‫ إن جنوت ايبن آدم عند املوت فأنت أنت وإال هلكت‬:‫مث قال‬
‫ وإن جنوت حني يقوم الناس لرب العاملني فأنت أنت وإال‬،‫وإن جنوت حني حيمل الناس على الصراط فأنت أنت وإال هلكت‬
.‫هلكت‬

Then he-asws said: ‘If you are safe during the death, O son of Adam-as, then you are who you
are, or else you are destroyed; and if you are safe when you are placed in your grave, O son
of Adam-as, then you are who you are, or else you are destroyed; and if you are safe when the
people are carried upon the Bridge, then you are who you are, or else you are destroyed; and
if you are safe when the people are standing to the Lord-azwj of the worlds, then you are who
you are, or else you are destroyed.

‫ أو‬،‫ وهللا إن القرب لروضة من رايض اجلنة‬،‫ وإن هلم فيه ملعيشة ضنكا‬،‫ هو القرب‬:‫ " ومن ورائهم برزخ إىل يوم يبعثون " قال‬:‫مث تال‬
.‫حفرة من حفر النار‬

Then he-asws recited: And behind them is purgatory up to the Day they would be Resurrected
[23:100]. He-asws said: ‘It is the grave, and that for them in it is a straitened life [20:124]. By
Allah-azwj! The grave is either a garden from the Gardens of the Paradise or a pit from the pits
of the Fire’.

‫ قد علم ساكن السماء ساكن اجلنة من ساكن النار فأى الرجلني أنت ؟ وأي الدارين دارك‬:‫مث أقبل على رجل من جلسائه فقال له‬
.‫؟‬

Then he-asws turned towards a man from his-asws gatherers and said to him: ‘The inhabitant of
the sky has known dweller of the Paradise from a dweller of the Fire, so which of the two men
are you? And which of the two houses is your house?’’.228

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having been asked about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic:
And it will be Said, ‘Who can cure?’ [75:27]. He-asws said: ‘That is the word of a son of Adam-
as when the death presents. He said, ‘Is there any doctor? Is there one who can repel?’

،‫ " وظن أنه الفراق " يعين فراق االهل واالحبة عند ذلك‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: And he would think it is the separation [75:28], meaning separation of the family
members and the beloved one during that’.

،‫ التفت الدنيا ابآلخرة‬:‫ " والتفت الساق ابلساق " قال‬:‫قال‬

He said, ‘And the leg will turn with the leg [75:29]’. He-asws said: ‘Turning of the world with
the Hereafter’.

Abu Al Qasim Al Alawy, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws! May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Does the Momin dislike it upon
the exit of his soul?’ He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj’. I said, ‘And how is that?’ When the expiry
presents to the Momin, Rasool-Allah-saww and the People-asws of his-saww Household are present
– Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and
Al-Husayn-asws, and the entirety of the Imams-asws, but they-asws would be teknonymed from a
name of (Syeda) Fatima-asws – and Jibraeel-as, and Mikaeel-as, and Israfeel-as, and Izraeel-as
would be present’.

‫ قال فيقول رسول هللا صلى‬،‫ ايرسول هللا إنه كان ممن حيبينا ويتوالان فأحبه‬:‫ فيقول أمري املؤمنني علي بن أيب طالب عليه السالم‬:‫قال‬
،‫ اي جربئيل إنه ممن كان حيب عليا وذريته فأحبه‬:‫هللا عليه واله‬

He (the narrator) said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws would be saying: ‘O
Rasool-Allah-saww! He was from the ones who loved us-asws and was in our-asws Wilayah, so I-asws
love him’. And Rasool-Allah-saww would be saying: ‘O Jibraeel-as! He was from the one who had
loved Ali-asws and his-asws offspring, so I-saww love him’.

‫ إنه ممن كان حيب حممدا وآله ويتوىل عليا‬:‫ مث يقولون مجيعا مللك املوت‬،‫وقال جربئيل مليكائيل وإسرافيل عليهم السالم مثل ذلك‬
‫وذريته فارفق به‬

And, Jibraeel-as would say to Mikaeel-as, and Israfeel-as similar to that. Then they-as would all
be saying to the Angel of death: ‘He was from the ones who had loved Muhammad-saww and
his-saww Progeny-asws, and was in the Wilayah of Ali-asws and his-asws offspring, therefore be kind
with him’.

‫ وخصه ابلرسالة الان أرفق به من والد‬،‫ والذي اختاركم وكرمكم واصطفى حممدا صلى هللا عليه واله ابلنبوة‬:‫قال فيقول ملك املوت‬
،‫ وأشفق عليه من أخ شفيق‬،‫رفيق‬

The Angel of death would be saying: ‘By the One-azwj Who Chose you-asws all and Honoured
you-asws, and Chose Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood and Specialised him-saww with the

Message because I-as would be kinder with him than a kind father, and more sympathetic to
him than a sympathetic brother’.

:‫ فبماذا ؟ فيقول‬:‫ فيقول امللك‬،‫ نعم‬:‫ اي عبد هللا أخذت فكاك رقبتك ؟ أخذت رهان أمانك ؟ فيقول‬:‫مث قام إليه ملك املوت فيقول‬
،‫ وبوالييت علي بن أيب طالب وذريته‬،‫حبيب حممدا وآله‬

Then the Angel of death stands to him and is saying: ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! Shall I-as liberate
your neck? Shall I-as take a pledge of your security?’ He is saying, ‘Yes’. So, the Angel is saying:
‘With what?’ He says, ‘For the sake of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and for the
Wilayah of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and his-asws offspring’.

،‫ افتح عينيك فانظر إىل ما عندك‬،‫ وأما ما كنت ترحو فقد أاتك هللا به‬،‫ أما ما كنت حتذر فقد آمنك هللا منه‬:‫فيقول‬

He says: ‘As for what you were cautious of, Allah-azwj has Secured you from it, and as for what
adversities you had, Allah-azwj has Come to you with it. Open your eyes and look at what is in
your presence!’

،‫ وهؤالء رفقاؤك‬،‫ هذا ما أعد هللا لك‬:‫ فيقول له‬،‫ ويفتح له ابب إىل اجلنة فينظر إليها‬،‫ فيفتح عينيه فينظر إليهم واحدا واحدا‬: ‫قال‬
‫أفتحب اللحاق هبم أو الرجوع إىل الدنيا ؟‬

He-asws said: ‘So, he opens his eye and looks at them-asws, one by one, and a door to the
Paradise is opened for him and looks into it, and he (Angel) says to him: ‘This is what Allah-azwj
has Prepared for you, and they-asws are your friends. Would you like to adhere with them-asws,
or the return to the world?’

‫ ال حاجة يل إىل الدنيا وال الرجوع إليها ؟‬:‫ أما رأيت شخوصه ورفع حاجبيه إىل فوق من قوله‬:‫ فقال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬:‫قال‬
‫ اي أيتها النفس املطمئنة إىل حممد ووصية واالئمة من بعده ارجعي إىل‬:‫ويناديه مناد من بطنان العرش يسمعه ويسمع من حبضرته‬
.‫ فادخلي يف عبادي مع حممد وأهل بيته وادخلي جنيت غري مشوبة‬،‫ مرضية ابلثواب‬،‫ربك راضية ابلوالية‬

He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘But, don’t you see his concentrating and raising
his eyebrows to above, from his words, ‘There is no need for me to the world, nor the return
to it? And a Caller would Call from the interior of the Throne, him and the ones-asws in his
presence would hear it: ‘O you the contented soul! [89:27], to Muhammad-saww and the
successor-asws and the Imams-asws from after him-saww, Return to your Lord, being well-pleased,

Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Zakariya al Dahqan, both together from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Saylami, from his
father who said, ‘I heard Al Aqarquqy saying,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Momin, ‘Does he dislike it upon the capture of his soul?’
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj!’ I said, ‘And how is that?’ He-asws said: ‘Because he panics when
the Angel of death presents to him, and the Angel of death says to him: ‘Do not panic, for by
Allah-azwj, I-as shall be kinder with you and more sympathetic than a merciful parent, if they
were present. Open your eyes and look!’

،‫ ويتهلل له رسول هللا وأمري املؤمنني علي بن أيب طالب واحلسن و احلسني واالئمة من بعدهم والزهراء عليهم الصالة والسالم‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘There appear to him, Rasool-Allah-saww, and Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu
Talib-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and the Imams-asws from after them-asws, and
Al-Zahra-asws’.

‫ فإمنا ينظر إليهم‬:‫ قال‬،‫ بلى‬:‫ فما رأيت شخوصه ؟ قلت‬،‫ فينظر إليهم فيستبشر هبم‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘So, he looks at them-asws and is overjoyed with them-asws. Do you not see him
concentrating?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘He is rather looking at them-asws’.

‫ وحيك إن الكافر يشخص منقلبا إىل خلفه الن ملك املوت إمنا أيتيه‬:‫ قال‬،‫ جعلت فداك قد يشخص املؤمن الكافر‬:‫ قلت‬:‫قال‬
:‫ وينادي روحه مناد من قبل رب العزة من بطنان العرش فوق االفق االعلى ويقول‬،‫ واملؤمن أمامه‬،‫ليحمله من خلفه‬

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The Kafir tends to impersonate
the Momin’. He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! The Kafir impersonates overturning to his
creation, because the Angel of death, rather would come to him attacking from behind him,
and the Momin, from his front, and his soul would be Called out from the direction of the
Lord-azwj of Mighty from the interior of the Throne, above the high horizon, and he would be
saying:

،‫ فادخلي يف عبادي وادخلي جنيت‬،‫ ارجعي إىل ربك راضية مرضية‬- ‫ صلوات هللا عليهم‬- ‫اي أيتها النفس املطمئنة إىل حممد وآله‬

‘O you the contented soul! [89:27], to Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, Return to
your Lord, being well-pleased, He being Well-Pleased [89:28] So enter (to be) among My
servants [89:29] And enter into My Garden [89:30], I am Commanded that I give you the

choice of the return to the world and the past’. So, there wouldn’t be anything more beloved
to him than the outflow of his soul’’.241

‫ وهو يرى املأخوذين على الغرة حيث ال إقالة وال رجعة كيف نزل هبم‬،‫ وال يتعظ منه بواعظ‬،‫ ال ينزجر من هللا بزاجر‬:‫ هنج‬- 33
،‫ وقدموا من اآلخرة على ما كانوا يوعدون‬،‫ وجاءهم من فراق الدنيا ما كانوا أيمنون‬،‫ما كانوا جيهلون‬

Nahj (Al-Balagah): ‘He (the Angel of death) is not deterred from Allah-azwj by a deterrer, nor
taking any advice from an adviser, and he sees the seized ones upon the suddenness where
neither is there any dismissal nor any return. How it has befallen with them what they were
ignoring, and there came to them from the separation of the world what they were feeling
secure of, and proceeded to the Hereafter upon what they were Promised.

‫ مث ازداد املوت‬،‫ و تغريت هلا ألواهنم‬،‫ ففرتت هلا أطرافهم‬،‫ اجتمعت عليهم سكرة املوت وحسرة الفوت‬،‫فغري موصوف ما نزل هبم‬
‫ ويفكر فيم‬،‫ وإنه لبني أهله ينظر ببصره ويسمع ابذنه على صحة من عقله وبقاء من لبه‬،‫فيهم ولوجا فحيل بني أحدهم وبني منطقه‬
‫أفىن عمره ؟ وفيم أذهب دهره ؟‬

It is indescribable what descends with them. There gathers upon them the agony of death
and regret of the loss, so their limbs are broken to it and their complexion changes to it. Then
the death increases the penetration into them, so it becomes a barrier between one of them
and his speaking, although his family are clear to him. He looks with his eyes, and hears with
his ears, being upon healthiness of his intellect and remaining of his mind, and he thinks
regarding what he finished his life? And regarding what his time passed?

‫ تبقى ملن‬،‫ وأشرف على فراقها‬،‫ قد لزمته تبعات مجعها‬،‫ وأخذها من مصرحاهتا ومشتبهاهتا‬،‫ويتذكر أمواال مجعها أغمض يف مطالبها‬
،‫ والعبء على ظهره‬،‫وراءه ينعمون هبا فيكون املهنأ لغريه‬

And he recalls the wealth he amassed, having closed his eyes during seeking it and taking it
from its allowable and suspicious means, both of these having necessitated consequences for
him. And he prepares for its separation and its remaining for the ones he leaves behind him
to be enjoying with it for the award is for other and the burden is upon his back.

‫ ويتمىن‬،‫ ويزهد فيما كان يرغب فيه أايم عمره‬،‫ يعض يده ندامة على ما اصحر له عند املوت من أمره‬،‫واملرء قد غلقت رهونه هبا‬
،‫أن الذي كان يغبطه هبا وحيسده عليها قد حازها دونه‬

And the person’s pledge is locked with it. He bites his hand in regret upon what appears to
him from his matters during the death, and he becomes ascetic regarding what he had been
desirous during the days of his life, and he wishes that the one who had backbit him with it
and envied him over it would have amassed it instead.

،‫ يردد طرفه ابلنظر يف وجوههم‬،‫ فصار بني أهله ال ينطق بلسانه وال يسمع بسمعه‬،‫فلم يزل املوت يبالغ يف جسده حىت خالط مسعه‬
،‫يرى حركات ألسنتهم وال يسمع رجع كالمهم‬

So, the death does not cease to permeate in his body until it mingles with his hearing, and he
becomes unable to speak with his tongue nor hear with his hearing, scanning his eyes with
looking into their faces. He sees the movements of their tongues and cannot hear their
speeches.

،‫ قد أوحشوا من جانبه‬،‫ وخرجت الروح من جسده فصار جيفة بني أهله‬،‫مث ازداد املوت التياطا فقبض بصره كما قبض مسعه‬

.‫إذا بلغ الكتاب أجله‬

Then the death increases the sway and captures his sight just as it had captured his hearing,
and the soul departs from his body and he becomes a carcass between his family members
and they would desert from his side and distance themselves from being close to him, neither
being helped by a wailer nor answering a caller. Then they would carry him to a small hole
from the ground, and they submit him into it to his deeds, and they terminate from visiting
him until when the writing reaches its term’’.242

The number (of reporters), from Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘A sign of the Momin when the death present, it would whiten
his face more intensely than the whiteness of his colour, and his forehead sweats, and it flows
from his eyes as if these are the tears, and that would happen to be the exit of his soul; and
that the Kafir, his soul exits from the side of his mouth like the foam of the camel, or just as
the soul of the camel comes out’’.243

Ali, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Idrees Al Qummy who said,

of a believer as an ease upon him and extract it from the best of its aspects, and the people

would be saying, ‘The death has been difficult upon so and so, and that would be an ease
from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon him’’.

‫ أو ممن أبغض هللا أمره أن جيذب اجلذبة اليت بلغتكم مبثل السفود من الصوف‬،‫ يصرف عنه إذا كان ممن سخط هللا عليه‬:‫وقال‬

And he said, ‘It would be turned away from him, when it was from the ones Allah -azwj is
Wrathful upon, or from the ones Allah-azwj Hates. He-azwj Commands him that he pulls with a
(violent) pulling, reaching you like the skewer (being pulled) from the wet wool, and the
people are saying, ‘The death has been easy upon so and so’’.244

Regarding the Words of the Exalted: Surely those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’, then they are
steadfast – i.e. upon the Wilayah of Amir Al Momineen-asws, the Angels would descend unto
them – during the death, (saying): ‘Do not fear, and do not grieve, and receive glad tidings
of the Paradise which you were Promised [41:30] We are your Guardians in the life of the
world - we used to protect you from the satans-la, and in the Hereafter – i.e. during the death,
and for you therein is whatever your souls desire, and for you therein would be whatever
you call for [41:31] – meaning in the Paradise, Being a hospitality from the Forgiving,
Merciful [41:32]’’.245 (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

By his chain from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who Fasts twenty-four days of Rajab, so when the Angels of death
descends with him, he would see him in an image of a youth, upon him being a garment of
green brocade, upon a horse from the horses of the Paradise, and in his hand would be green
silk perfumed with the strong musk, and in his hand being a golden goblet from the drink of
the Gardens. He then quenches him during the exit of his soul to ease the agony of death
upon him. Then he takes his soul in that silk, and the inhabitants of the seven skies would be
smelling its aroma from it, and he would remain in his grave well-quenched until he returns
to the Fountain of the Prophet-saww’’.248

of death said with a speech the ones present heard: ‘O servant of Allah -azwj! I am most kind

And know, O Muhammad-saww that I tend to capture the soul of a son of Adam-as and his family
panics, so I stand in a corner of their house and I am saying: ‘What is this panic for? By Allah -
azwj, I did not hasten it before his term. There was no sin for us in capturing him. Therefore, if

you were to withhold it and are patient, you will be Rewarded, and if you were to panic, you
would be sinning and burdening (yourselves).

‫ فاحلذر احلذر ! إنه ليس يف شرقها وال يف غرهبا أهل بيت مدر وال وبر إال وأان أتصفحهم يف‬،‫واعلموا أن لنا فيكم عودة مث عودة‬

And know that there is an appointment for us regarding you all, then (another) appointment,
so the caution! The caution! There isn’t any family in its east nor in its west, neither a town
nor a valley, except and I scan them five times during every day, and we are more knowing of
their small ones and their old ones from them, than they themselves are. And if I want to
capture the soul of a mosquito, I would not be able upon it until my Lord -azwj Commands me
for it’.

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘But rather, he scans them during the timings of the Salat, so if he was
from the ones who perseveres upon it during its (Prescribed) timings, he would indoctrinate
him with the testimony that there is no god except Allah -azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is a
Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and the Angel of death would dislodge Iblees-la away from him’’.253

it!’

He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! When the Angel of death descends to capture the soul of a Kafir, he
descends and with him is a skewer of fire, and he snatches his soul with it, and Hell shrieks’.
So, Ali-asws sat up straight and said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Repeat your-saww Hadeeth unto me-

.‫ وشاهد زور‬،‫ وآكل مال اليتيم ظلما‬،‫ نعم حاكم جائر‬:‫ هل يصيب ذلك أحدا من امتك ؟ قال‬:‫مث قال‬

Then he-asws said: ‘Would anyone from your-saww community experience that?’ He-saww said:
‘Yes, a tyrannous rule, and a consumer of the wealth of an orphan unjustly, and a testifier of

Ali Bin Muhammad, from one of our companions, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Rabie Bin Muhammad, from

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Isa-as Bin Maryam-as came to the grave of Yahya-as Bin

him, and he-as responded and came out to him-as from the grave, and said to him-as: ‘What do
you-as want from me-as?’

So, he-as said to him-as: ‘I-as wanted you-as to comfort me-as just as you-as did in the world’’. He-
as said to him-as: ‘O Isa-as! The heat of death has yet to settle from me-as, and you-as want to

return me-as to the world and the heat of the death to be repeated upon me?’ He -as left him-
as and returned to his-as grave’’.256 A prophet is not a momin?

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Yazeed Al Kunasy,

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Youths from the children of the kings of the children of Israel
were worshippers, and the worship was among the children of the kings of the children of
Israel; and they went out in the country in order to learn lessons, and they passed by a grave
upon the surface of the road, and the sand had covered upon it, nothing was clear from it
except for its outline. They said, ‘If we could supplicate to Allah-azwj at the moment for Him-
azwj to Resurrect for us the occupant of this grave, so we can question him how he found the

taste of death?’

،‫ احلي الذي ال ميوت‬،‫ غري الغافل‬،‫ والبديع الدائم‬،‫ ليس لنا إله غريك‬،‫ أنت إهلنا اي ربنا‬:‫ وكان دعاؤهم الذي دعوا هللا به‬،‫فدعوا هللا‬
.‫ انشر لنا هذا امليت بقدرتك‬،‫ تعلم كل شئ بغري تعليم‬،‫لك يف كل يوم شأن‬

So, they supplicated to Allah-azwj, and the supplication which they supplicated to Allah-azwj
with, was: ‘You-azwj are our God, O our Lord-azwj! There isn’t any god for us apart from You-azwj,
and the Permanent Creator, not heedless, the living Who will not be dying, there is a state of
Glory for You-azwj during every day. You-azwj Know all things without a teaching. Resurrect this
dead one for us by Your-azwj Power’.

‫ ما يو‬:‫ فقال هلم‬،‫ شاخصا بصره إىل السماء‬،‫ فخرج من ذلك القرب رجل أبيض الرأس و اللحية ينفض رأسه من الرتاب فزعا‬:‫قال‬
‫ ما‬،‫ لقد سكنت يف قربي تسعة وتسعني سنة‬:‫ دعوانك لنسألك كيف وجدت طعم املوت ؟ فقال هلم‬:‫قفكم على قربي ؟ فقالوا‬
،‫ وال خرج مرارة طعم املوت من حلقى‬،‫ذهب عين أمل املوت وكربه‬

He-asws said: ‘There came out from the grave, a man of white hair and beard, shaking his head
from the dust, panicking and casting his sight towards the sky, and he said to them, ‘What is
your pausing at my grave for?’ They said, ‘We called you to ask you how you found the taste
of death to be?’ He said to them, ‘I have settled in my grave for ninety-nine years (but) the
pain and the trouble of the death has yet to go away from me, nor has the bitterness of death
come out from my throat’.

‫ " اخرج " اجتمعت تربة‬:‫ ولكن ملا مسعت الصيحة‬،‫ ال‬:‫ مت يوم مت وأنت على ما نرى أبيض الرأس واللحية ؟ قال‬:‫فقالوا له‬

They said to him, ‘You died the day you died upon what we see of the whiteness of the head
and beard?’ He said, ‘No, but (it is) due to what I heard of the scream: ‘Come out!’ The dust
of my bones gathered to my soul and I remained in it and came out panicking, concerned of
sight, frightened to the voice of the caller, therefore, due to that, my head and my beard
whitened’’.257

(The book) Da’waat of Al Rawandy –

‘It is reported that the dying one, a row from the Angels present to him on his right, upon
them being green clothes, and a row on his left, upon them being black clothes. Each one of
the two parties await the capture of his soul, and the sick one looks at these at times and to
those at other (times), and Allah-azwj Sends and Angel to the Momin to give him glad tidings,
and Commands the Angel of death that he shows himself to him in a beautiful image.

،‫فإذا أخذ يف قبض روحه وارتقى إىل ركبتيه شفع إىل جربئيل وقد أمره هللا أن ينزل إىل عبده أن يرخص له يف توديع أهله وولده‬
‫ أين ميكائيل ؟ فإذا به وقد نزل يف جوق من‬:‫ فيقول‬،‫ أو تنظر إىل ميكائيل‬،‫ أنت خمري بني أن أمسح عليك جناحي‬:‫فيقول له‬

So, when he is seized in the capture of his soul and rises upon to his knees, he seeks
intercession to Jibraeel-as, and Allah-azwj would have Commanded him-as and he-as descends to
His-azwj servant, and allow for him to bid farewell to his wife and his children, and he-as is saying
to him: ‘You are given a choice between my wiping my wings upon you, or you wait for
Mikaeel-as’. He says, ‘Where is Mikaeel-as?’ There he would be, having descended among a
group of the Angels, so he looks at him-as and greets upon him-as.

،‫ أو تنطر إىل اجلنة‬،‫ أنت خمري بني أن أمسح عليك جناحي‬:‫فإذا بلغت الروح إىل بطنه وسرته شفع إىل ميكائيل أن ميهله فيقول له‬

respites him, and he-as says to him: ‘You are given a choice that I-as wipe my wings upon you

or you look at the Paradise’. So, he chooses the looking at the Paradise, and he laughs, and
Allah-azwj Commands the Angel of death to be kind with him.

‫ وكم أشهدان‬،‫ رحم هللا هذا العبد كم أمسعنا اخلري‬:‫ ويقوالن‬،‫فإذا فارقته روحه تبعاه امللكان اللذان كاان موكلني به يبكيان ويرتمحان عليه‬
‫ اي ربنا إان كنا موكلني به وقد نقلته إىل جوارك فما أتمران ؟‬:‫ وقاال‬،‫على الصاحلات‬

So, when his soul separates, both the Angels who had been allocated with him, follow him
crying and seeking Mercy upon him, and they say: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on this servant,
how many times we heard the good, and how many times we witnessed upon the righteous
deeds’. And they both say: ‘O our Lord-azwj! We were allocated with him, and we have
transferred him to be in Your-azwj vicinity, so what do You-azwj Command us?’

‫ فإذا كان يوم القيامة أتياه مبركب فأركباه ومشيا بني يديه إىل‬،‫ تلزمان قربه وترتمحان عليه وتستغفران له إىل يوم القيامة‬:‫فيقول تعاىل‬

The Exalted Says: “Be with his grave, and seek Mercy to be upon him, and seek Forgiveness
for him up to the Day of Judgment. When it will be the Day of Judgment, bring him a ride and
make him ride it, and walk in front of him up to the Paradise, and serve him in the
Paradise!”’.261 (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

DURING THAT, AND DURING THE BURIAL, AND
PRESENTATION OF THE DEEDS TO THEM-asws

(Imam Hassan Al-Askari-asws said): ‘The Momin in the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and his-saww
goodly Progeny-asws, the taker to Ali-asws, after Muhammad-saww, as his Imam-asws - who is his
role model, his example (to follow), and his chief whose words he ratifies, and considers his -
asws deeds as correct, and obeys him-asws with an obedience to the ones who despotise him-
asws – from the goodly ones of his-asws offspring for the affairs of the Religion and his social

affairs.

،‫ وحضره ملك املوت وأعوانه وجد عند رأسه حممدا رسول هللا‬،‫إذا حضره من أمر هللا تعاىل ما ال يرد ونزل به من قضائه ما ال يصد‬
‫ ومن جانب آخر احلسني سيد الشهداء‬،‫ وعند رجليه من جانب احلسن سبط سيد النبيني‬،‫ومن جانب آخر عليا سيد الوصيني‬

When there presents to him from a matter of Allah-azwj which cannot be repelled (death), and
there descends with him from His-azwj Ordainment what cannot be blocked, and the Angel of
death and his aides present (themselves) to him, he would find by his head, Muhammad -saww
Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj on one side, and on another side, Ali-asws chief of the successors-asws,
and by his legs on one side would be Al-Hassan-asws, grandson-asws of the chief of the Prophets-
as, and from another side would be Al-Husayn-asws, chief of the martyrs altogether.

‫ ينظر العليل املؤمن إليهم فيخاطبهم‬،‫ الذين هم سادة هذه االمة بعد ساداهتم من آل حممد‬،‫وحواليه بعدهم خيار خواصهم وحمبيهم‬
‫ حبيث حيجب هللا صوته عن آذان حاضريه كما حيجب رؤيتنا أهل البيت ورؤية خواصنا عن أعينهم ليكون إمياهنم بذلك أعظم‬-

And around him, after them-asws, would be their-asws special ones, and those that love them,
the ones who are the chiefs of this community – after their chiefs from the Progeny-asws of
Muhammad-saww. So, the ailing Momin would look at them, and he would address them with
a discussion, the sound of which Allah-azwj would Veil from the ears of the ones present with
him – just as He-azwj would Veil our-asws sighting, the People-asws of the Household, and sighting
of our-asws special ones, from their eyes, in order for their Emans to be (deserving) of greater
Rewards due to the intensity of the test upon them.

The Momin would be saying, ‘By my father and my mother being (sacrificed) you-saww, O

meeting you! O Rasool-Allah-saww! This is the Angel of death who has presented to me, and
there is no doubt in my chest of your-saww position and the position of your-saww brother-asws
from me’. So Rasool-Allah-saww would be saying: ‘Like that, it is!’

‫ اي ملك املوت استوص بوصية هللا يف االحسان إىل موالان وخادمنا‬:‫فأقبل رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله على ملك املوت فيقول‬

Then Rasool-Allah-saww would face towards the Angel of death, and he-saww would be saying:
‘O Angel of death! Act in accordant with the Advice of Allah-azwj – regarding the goodness to
our-asws friends, and our-asws servants, and those that love us-asws, and preferred us-asws’.

،‫ ايرسول هللا مره أن ينظر إىل ما أعد هللا له يف اجلنان‬:‫فيقول له ملك املوت‬

So, the Angel of death would be saying to him-saww: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Order him to look at
what Allah-azwj has Prepared for him in the Gardens’.

.‫ وال أييت عليه العدد واحلساب‬،‫ لينظر إىل العلو فينظر إىل ما ال حييط به االلباب‬:‫فيقول له رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله‬

So Rasool-Allah-saww would be saying to him: ‘Look at the heights (above)!’ So he would look
at what the gateways would be surrounded with – and neither can a number be ascribed to
it nor a counting.

‫ وهذا حممد وأعزته زواره ؟ ايرسول هللا لوال أن هللا جعل املوت عقبة ال يصل إىل‬،‫ كيف ال أرفق مبن ذلك ثوابه‬:‫فيقول ملك املوت‬

So the Angel of death would be saying, ‘How can I not be kind with the one with that (kind of)
Rewards, and this here Muhammad-saww and his-saww family-asws are visiting him? O Rasool-
Allah-saww! Had Allah-azwj not Made the death as an obstacle – there cannot arrive to those

‫ مث يرتفع هو ومن معه إىل روض اجلنان وقد كشف‬،‫ اي ملك املوت هاك أخاان قد سلمناه إليك فاستوص به خريا‬:‫مث يقول حممد‬
‫من الغطاء واحلجاب لعني ذلك املؤمن العليل فرياهم املؤمن هناك بعد ما كانوا حول فراشه‬

Then Muhammad-saww would be saying: ‘O Angel of death! Here is our-asws brother whom we-
asws submit to you, therefore be good with him’. Then he -saww and the ones with him-saww rise

to go to the environment of the Gardens, and the coves and the veils are removed for the
eyes of that ailing Momin, and the Momin sees them-asws over there after their-asws having
been around his bed.

،‫ وأحلقين هبم‬،‫ فال صرب يل عن حممد وأعزته‬،‫ تناول روحي وال تلبثين ههنا‬،‫ اي ملك املوت الوحى الوحى‬:‫فيقول‬

So, he would be saying, ‘O Angel of death! Quickly! Quickly take my soul, and do not make
me remain over here, for there is no patience for me from (being away from) Muhammad -
saww and his-saww family, and join me up with them-asws’.

‫ وإن كنتم ترون أنه يف شدة فليس هو يف شدة بل هو يف‬،‫فعند ذلك يتناول ملك املوت روحه فيسلها كما يسل الشعرة من الدقيق‬
،‫رخاء ولذة‬

Thus, during that, the Angel of death takes his soul and makes it flow out like the hair from
the flour, and even if you are seeing him to be in difficulties, but he isn’t in difficulty, but he
is in ease and pleasure.

‫ هذا حممد وعلي واحلسن واحلسني وخيار صحابتهم‬:‫ وإذا جاءه منكر ونكري قال أحدمها لآلخر‬.‫فإذا ادخل قربه وجد مجاعتنا هناك‬
‫حبضرة صاحبنا فلنتضع هلما‬

So when he enters his grave, he would find our-asws community over there. And when Munkar
and Nakeer (two questioning Angels) come, one of them would say to the other, ‘This is
Muhammad-saww, and this is Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and the best of
their-asws companions in the presence of our companion (the deceased Momin), so let us be
revering to them’.

‫ مث‬،‫ مث يسلمان على احلسنني سالما جيمعاهنما فيه‬،‫ مث يسلمان على علي سالما مفردا‬،‫فيأتيان فيسلمان على حممد سالما مفردا‬
،‫يسلمان على سائر من معنا من أصحابنا‬

So they come and greet upon Muhammad-saww, with a complete salutation, individualised.
Then they greet upon Ali-asws with a complete greeting, individualised. Then they greet upon

Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws with a complete greeting for both of them-asws together.
Then they-asws greet upon the rest of the ones from our-asws companions.

‫ ولوال أن هللا يريد إظهار فضله ملن هبذه احلضرة من املالئكه‬،‫ قد علمنا اي رسول هللا زايرتك يف خاصتك خلادمك وموالك‬:‫مث يقولون‬
،‫ ولكن أمر هللا البد من امتثاله‬،‫ومن يسمعنا من مالئكته بعدهم ملا سألناه‬

Then they are saying, ‘We have known, O Rasool-Allah-saww, of your-saww visitation among your-
saww special ones to your-saww servant and your-saww friend, but Allah-azwj’s Command is

inevitable from being complied with’.

‫ من ربك ؟ وما دينك ؟ ومن نبيك ؟ ومن إمامك ؟ وما قبلتك ؟ ومن شيعتك ؟ ومن إخوانك ؟‬:‫مث يسأالنه فيقوالن‬

Then they question him and they would be saying, ‘Who is your Lord-azwj?’, and, ‘What is your
Religion?’, and ‘Who is your Prophet-saww?’, and ‘Who is your Imam-asws?’, and ‘What is your
Qiblah?’, and ‘Wo are your Shias (adherents)’, and ‘Who are your brethren?’

‫ و املؤمنون املوالون حملمد وعلي وآهلما وأوليائهما املعادون‬،‫ والكعبة قبليت‬،‫ وعلي وصي حممد إمامي‬،‫ وحممد نبيي‬،‫ هللا رىب‬:‫فيقول‬
،‫العدائهما إخواين‬

So he would be saying, ‘Allah-azwj is my Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is my Prophet-saww, and

Ali-asws the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww is my Imam-asws, and the Kaaba is my Qiblah, and
the Momineen, the befrienders of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws friends, and the
ones inimical to their-asws enemies, are my brethren.

‫ وأن من نصبهم لالمامة من‬،‫ وأن أخاه عليا ويل هللا‬،‫ وأشهد أن حممدا عبده ورسوله‬،‫أشهد أن ال إله إال هللا وحده ال شريك له‬
،‫أطائب عرتته وخيار ذريته خلفاء االمة ووالة احلق والقوامون ابلصدق‬

And I testify that, there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there being no associates for Him-
azwj. And I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and that his-
saww brother Ali-asws is a Guardian of Allah-azwj, and that the ones appointed for the Imamate

from the goodly ones of his-asws descendants and the best ones of his-asws offspring are the
Caliphs of the community and the rightful rulers, and the care takers with the truthfulness’.

‫ وتكون مع من تتواله يف دار كرامة هللا ومستقر‬،‫ وعلى هذا تبعث إن شاء هللا تعاىل‬،‫ وعلى هذا مت‬،‫ على هذا حييت‬:‫فيقوالن‬
.‫رمحته‬

And he (the questioning Angel) would be saying, ‘Upon this you lived, and upon this you died,
and upon this you would be Resurrected, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires, and you would
happen to be with the ones you befriended – in the House of Prestige of Allah-azwj, and the
stability of His-azwj Mercy’.

‫ وإن كان الوليائنا معاداي والعدائنا مواليا والضدادان أبلقابنا ملقبا فإذا جاءه ملك املوت لنزع‬:‫قال رسول هللا صلى هللا وعليه واله‬
‫ عليهم من أنواع العذاب ما يكاد نظره إليهم يهلكه‬،‫روحه مثل هللا عزوجل لذلك الفاجر سادته الذين اختذهم أراباب من دون هللا‬
،‫وال يزال يصل إليه من حر عذاهبم ما ال طاقة له به‬

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And if he was an enemy to our-asws friends, and a friend to our-asws
enemies, and entitles our-asws adversaries with our-asws titles, so when the Angel of death
comes to snatch is soul, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Resemble for that wicked one –
his chiefs, those whom he took as lords from besides Allah-azwj. Upon them would be a variety
of the Punishments, such that he would be almost destroyed if they (even) look at them. And
the heat of their Punishments would not cease to arrive to him, what he would not have the
strength for him (to endure) it.

،‫ وال جتد إىل مناص سبيال‬،‫ فاليوم ال يغنون عنك شيئا‬،‫ اي أيها الفاجر الكافر تركت أولياء هللا إىل أعدائه‬:‫فيقول له ملك املوت‬

So the Angel of death would be saying to him, ‘O you mischief maker, the Kafir! You neglected
the Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj to (prefer) his-asws enemy, so today nothing would avail you, nor
will you (be able to) find an alternative way (to escape)’.

‫ مث إذا ديل يف قربه رأى اباب من اجلنة مفتوحا إىل قربه يرى منه‬،‫فريد عليه من العذاب ما لو قسم أدانه على أهل الدنيا الهلكهم‬
،‫ انظر إىل ما حرمت من تلك اخلريات‬:‫ فيقول له منكر ونكري‬،‫خرياهتا‬

Then the Punishment would come upon him – what, if the least of it were to be apportioned
upon the inhabitants of the world, it would destroy them. Then, when he is laid into his grave,
he sees a door from the Paradise as opened up to his grave. He would see from it, its
goodness, and Munkar and Nakeer would be saying to him, ‘Look are what is Prohibited unto
you from those goodness’s’.

.‫ رب ال تقم الساعة اي رب ال تقم الساعة‬:‫مث يفتح له يف قربه ابب من النار يدخل عليه منه من عذاهبا فيقول‬

There would be opened up for him in his grave, a door from the Fire, the Punishment entering
to him from it. He would be saying, ‘O Lord-azwj! Do not Establish the Hour! O Lord-azwj! Do not
Establish the Hour!’262

:‫ وإمنا قال‬،‫ قوله عزوجل " الذين يظنون أهنم مالقوا رهبم " الذين يقدرون أهنم يلقون رهبم اللقاء الذي هو أعظم كراماته‬:‫ م‬- 2

Him [2:46] – to His-azwj Prestige and the Bliss of His-azwj Gardens. Due to their Eman (faith) and
their humbleness, they do not know that with certainty, because they are not secure that it
could be altered and replaced.

‫ ال يتيقن الوصول إىل رضوان هللا حىت يكون وقت نزع‬،‫ ال يزال املؤمن خائفا من سوء العاقبة‬:‫قال رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله‬
.‫روحه وظهور ملك املوت له‬

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Momin does not cease to be fearing from the evil consequences,
nor is he convinced of the arrival to the Pleasure of Allah-azwj – until it happens to be the time
of snatching of his soul and the appearance of the Angel of death to him.

‫ وملا هو عليه من اضطراب أحواله‬،‫ مبا خيلف من أمواله‬،‫ وعظيم ضيق صدره‬،‫وذلك أن ملك املوت يرد على املؤمن وهو يف شدة علة‬
،‫ واقتطع دون أمانيه فلم ينلها‬،‫ وقد بقيت يف نفسه مرارهتا وحسراهتا‬،‫يف معام ليه وعياله‬

And that is that the Angel of death comes unto the Momin – and he is in the severity of his
illness and great constriction of his chest with what he is leaving behind from his wealth, and
due to what he is upon from the severity of the desperation of his state – in his affairs and his
dependants, and there remains within himself the impact of its regret, and the cutting off of
his wishes and he did not attain these.

،‫ الضطراب أحوايل واقتطاعك يل دون آمايل‬:‫ مالك جترع غصصك ؟ قال‬:‫فيقول له ملك املوت‬

So, the Angel of death is saying to him, ‘What is the matter with you ruminating angrily?’ So,
he is saying, ‘Due to the desperation of my state, and your cutting off to me to be without my
wealth and my aspirations’.

،‫ ال‬:‫ وهل حيزن عاقل من فقد درهم زائف واعتياض ألف ألف ضعف الدنيا ؟ فيقول‬:‫فيقول له ملك املوت‬

So, the Angel of death is saying to him, ‘And would a sensible one grieve from the loss of a
fake Dirham and being compensated by a thousand thousand (million) fold multiple of the
world?’ So, he is saying, ‘No’.

‫ تلك منازلك‬:‫ فيقول ملك املوت‬،‫ فينظر فريى درجات اجلنة وقصورها اليت يقصر دوهنا االماين‬،‫ فانظر فوقك‬:‫فيقول ملك املوت‬
:‫ أفرتضي به بدال مما هناك ؟ فيقول‬،‫ ومن كان من أهلك ههنا وذريتك صاحلا فهم هناك معك‬،‫ونعمك وأموالك و أهلك وعيالك‬
.‫بلى وهللا‬

So the Angel of death is saying, ‘Then look above you!’. So he looks and he sees levels of the
Gardens and its castles which his own aspirations fell short of, and the Angel of death is saying,
‘Those are your houses and your bounties – and your wealth, and your family, and your
dependants, and the ones who were from your family over here and your righteous offspring,
so they would be there with you over there. Are you (now) please with it in exchange from
what is over here?’ So he is saying, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj!’

Then he is saying, ‘Look!’ So he looks and he sees Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and the goodly
ones from their-asws Progeny-asws in the lofty Illiyeen. Then he is saying to him, ‘Do you see
them-asws? They are your Masters-asws and your-asws Imams-asws. They-asws, over there, would be
your companions and your comforters. So are you not pleased with them -asws in exchange
from what you are being separated from over here?’ So he would be saying, ‘Yes, by my Lord -
azwj!’.

‫ " إن الذين قالوا ربنا هللا مث استقاموا تتنزل عليهم املالئكة أال ختافوا وال حتزنوا " فما أمامكم من االهوال‬:‫فذلك ما قال هللا تعاىل‬

.‫توعدون هذه منازلكم و هؤالء ساداتكم آانسكم وجالسكم‬

So that is what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: Those that are saying, ‘Our Lord is Allah-
azwj!’ Then they are steadfast – the Angels would be descending unto them saying, ‘Do not

be fearing nor be grieving [41:30] – for whatever is in front of you from the states, so you
would be sufficed (with) these, and do not be grieving upon what you are leaving behind from
the offspring and the dependants, and the wealth, for this, which you are witnessing to be in
the Gardens, is in exchange from them and receive glad tidings of the Paradise which you
were Promised [41:30]. These are your dwelling, and they-asws are your Masters-asws and your

And I-asws am His-azwj Elite and His-azwj Guardian-asws, and in charge of His-azwj Whisperings and
His-azwj Secrets. I-asws have been Given the understanding of the Book, and the decisive sermon,
and knowledge of the generations and the lineages, and have been deposited with a thousand
keys, each key opening a thousand doors, each door leading to a thousand covenants, and I-
asws am assisted, and take hold of, and extend the fate in the Night of Pre-determination, and

that flows for me-asws and for the one who protects, from my-asws offspring, what the nights
and the days flow with until Allah-azwj Makes to inherit the earth and the ones upon it.

.‫ وعند املقامسة‬،‫ وعند احلوض‬،‫ وعند الصراط‬،‫وابشرك اي حارث لتعرفين عند املمات‬

And I-asws give you glad tidings, O Haris, for you to recognise me-asws during the death, and at
the Bridge, and at the Fountain, and at the distribution’.

‫ وما املقامسة ؟‬،‫قال احلارث‬

Al Haris said, ‘And what is the distribution?’

.‫ وهذا عدوي فخذيه‬،‫ هذا وليي فاتركيه‬:‫ أقول‬،‫ مقامسة النار اقامسها قسمة صحيحة‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘The distribution of the Fie. I-asws will distribute it with a correct apportionment. I-
asws shall be saying: ‘This is my-asws friend, leave him, and this one is my-asws enemy, seize him’’.

‫ فقال يل‬،‫ اي حارث أخذت بيدك كما أخذ رسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله بيدي‬:‫مث أخذ أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم بيد احلارث فقال‬

،‫ وأخذ ذريتك حبجزتك وأخذ شيعتكم حبجزكم‬،‫ وأخذت أنت اي علي حبجزيت‬،‫العرش تعاىل‬

Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws grabbed a hand of Al Haris and he-asws said: ‘O Haris! I-asws
grabbed your-asws hand just as Rasool-Allah-saww had grabbed my-asws hand and said to me –
and I-asws had complained of the jealousy of the Quraysh and the hypocrites towards me:
‘When it will be the Day of Judgment, I-saww will hold on to the Rope of Allah-azwj and with His-
azwj ‘Middle’ – meaning His-azwj Protection, One-azwj with the Throne of the Exalted, and you O

Ali-asws, would be holding on to my-saww mid-part, and your-asws offspring would grab your-asws
mid-part, and your-asws Shias would grab your-asws mid-part.

‫فماذا يصنع هللا بنبيه ؟ وما يصنع نبيه بوصيه ؟‬

So, what is that Allah-azwj would Do with His-azwj Prophet-saww? And what would His-azwj Prophet-
saww do with his-saww successor-asws?’

‫ ما‬:‫ فقام احلارث جير رداءه ويقول‬- ‫ يقوهلا ثالاث‬- ‫ أنت مع من أحببت ولك ما اكتسبت‬،‫خذها إليك اي حارث قصرية من طويلة‬
.‫اابيل بعدها مىت لقيت املوت أو لقيين‬

Take it to yourself, O Haris, short (summary) from long (lengthy Hadeeth). You would be with
the ones you love, and for you would be what you earned’ – saying it thrice. Al Haris stood up
dragging his cloak, and he was saying, ‘I do not care after it when I meet the death or it meets
me’.

‫ قول علي حلارث عجب * كم مث اعجوبة‬:‫ وأنشدين أبو هاشم السيد احلمريي رمحه هللا فيما تضمنه هذا اخلرب‬:‫قال مجيل بن صاحل‬

‫الرجال دعيه ال تقربيه إن له * حبال حببل الوصي متصال‬

Jameel Bin Salih said, ‘And Abu Hashim Al Seyyid Al Humeyri prosed regarding what this
Hadeeth included, ‘The words of Ali-asws Al Haris are strange: How many then are the wonders
for him, O Haris Hamdan? One who dies would see me-asws, from a Momin or a hypocrite,
facing him. He would recognise me-asws in a blink, and I-asws would recognise him by his
intention, and his name, and what he had done. And you would recognise me at the Bridge,
therefore neither fear a stumble nor a slip. I-asws will quench you from a cold (spring) upon
thirst, being sweeter in its sweetness than the honey. I-asws shall say to the Fire when you pause
for the presentation: ‘Leave him, do not fight the man. Leave him, do not go near him. There
is a rope for him, connected with a rope of the successor-asws’’.268

and if he was not pious and not helped his brethren, it would be said to him: ‘What prevented
you from the piety and consoling your brethren? You are the one who arrogated the love with
his tongue and did not ratify that with a deed’. And when he meets Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir

Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘Fear Allah-azwj, and be assisting each other upon what you are
upon (Wilayah) with the piety and the struggle in obeying Allah-azwj, for the most intensely
happy what one of you can happen to be with what he is upon (Wilayah), if he had come to a
limit of the Hereafter and the world been cut off from him. So, when he would be in that limit,
he would recognise that he is facing the Bounties and the honour from Allah -azwj, and the glad
tidings of the Paradise, and secure from the ones he had been fearing, and would be certain
that, that which he was upon (Wilayah) is the Truth, and that the one who opposed his
Religion were upon falsehood, destroyed’’.283

My father, from Al Nazar, from Yahya, from Quteyba Al A’ash,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘But, the neediest what you would happen to be to our -
asws love is when the soul of one of you reaches here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to

his-asws lower throat, then he-asws said: ‘No, but to over here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws
hand to his upper throat, and the giver of glad tidings would come and he would be saying,
‘As for what you were fearing, you have been secured from it’’.284

Bin Muslim. So, when I arose from his-asws presence, I had thought that Muhammad Bin
Muslim had informed him-asws with the news of the man, but he-asws sent a messenger to
pursue me, so I returned to him-asws, and he-asws said: ‘Inform me the news of the man whom
you attended during the death, which thing did you hear him saying?’

.‫ رآه وهللا رآه وهللا رآه وهللا‬:‫ فقال أبو عبد هللا عليه السالم‬،‫ ابيضت يدي اي علي‬:‫قلت بسط يده فقال‬

I said, ‘He extended his hands and said, ‘Whiten my hands, O Ali-asws!’ Abu Abdullah-asws said:
‘He saw him-asws by Allah-azwj! He saw him-asws by Allah-azwj! He saw him-asws by Allah-azwj!’’.302

‫ فوجدته يساق‬،‫ دخلت على السيد بن حممد احلمريي عائدا يف علته اليت مات فيها‬:‫ حدث احلسني بن عون قال‬:‫ كشف‬- 42
‫ فبدت يف‬،‫ عريض ما بني السالفني‬،‫ رحب اجلبهة‬،‫ وكان السيد مجيل الوجه‬،‫ ووجدت عنده مجاعة من جريانه وكانوا عثمانية‬،‫به‬
،‫ مث مل تزل تزيد وتنمي حىت طبقت وجهه بسوادها‬،‫وجهه نكتة سوداء مثل النقطة من املداد‬

It was narrated by Al Husayn Bin Awn who said,

‘I went to Al-Seyyind Bin Muhammad Al-Humeyri, to console him during his illness in which
he dies, and I found him in the crux of it, and I found in his presence a group from his
neighbours, and they were Usmaniites (partisans of Usman), and the Syeiid was of a beautiful
face, bright forehead, wide in what is between the two sideburns, and there appeared in his
face a black spot like a spot from the ink. Then it did not cease to increase and develop until
it layered his face with its blackness.

‫ فلم يلبث بذلك إال قليال حىت بدت يف ذلك املكان من وجهه‬،‫ وظهر من الناصبة سرور ومشاتة‬،‫فاغتم لذلك من حضره من الشيعة‬
‫ وافرت السيد ضاحكا مستبشرا‬،‫ملعة بيضاء فلم تزل تزيد أيضا وتنمي حىت اسفر وجهه وأشرق‬

So, the ones in his presence from the Shias were gloomy due to that, and there appeared
from the Nasibis (Hostile ones), cheerfulness and gloating. It was not long with that except a
little while until there appeared in that very place from his face, a white luminosity, and it did
not cease to increase as well and develop until it paled his face and brightened it, and the
Seyyid smiled, laughing, being rose-coloured.

‫ " شعر " كذب الزاعمون أن عليا * لن ينجى حمبه من هنات قد وريب دخلت جنة عدن * وعفا يل االله عن سيئايت فابشروا‬:‫فقال‬
‫اليوم أولياء علي * وتوالوا الوصي حىت املمات مث من بعده تولوا بنيه * واحدا بعد واحد ابلصفات‬

He said a poem, ‘They lied, the claimants that Ali-asws never rescues one who love him-asws from
a disaster. By my Lord-azwj, I had entered the Garden of Eden, and my God-azwj has Pardoned
me from my sins, therefore receive glad tidings today, friends of Ali-asws, and befriend the
successor-asws until the death. Then, from after him-asws, befriend his-asws sons-asws, one after the
other, with the qualities’.

،‫ وأشهد أن عليا أمري املؤمنني حقا حقا‬،‫ وأشهد أن حممدا رسول هللا حقا حقا‬،‫ أشهد أن ال إله إال هللا حقا حقا‬:‫مث أتبع قوله هذا‬
.‫ مث اغمض عينه لنفسه فكأمنا كانت روحه زابلة طفئت أو حصاة سقطت‬،‫أشهد أن ال إله إال هللا‬

The he followed it with these words of his, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, truly,
truly, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj truly, truly, and I testify
that Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen-asws, truly, truly. I testify that there is no god except Allah-
azwj’. Then he closed his eyes himself, and it was as if his soul was an extinguished wick, or a

dropped pebble.

Ali Bin Al Husayn said, ‘My father Al Husayn Bin Awn said, and Azina was present, and he said,
‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest! There is none from a testifier like the one who did not testify. Inform
me – or else keep quiet’. (P.s. – up to here is not a Hadeeth)

would warm up, therefore spread this Hadeeth among the people, and attend his funeral, and
Allah-azwj is the Harmoniser, and the Separator’’.303

‘Yahya Bin Masawa said, ‘Abu Khalid Al Wasity informed us,

Ubeyd Bin Kaseer both together,

‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww
said: ‘O Ali-asws! In you-asws there is an example from Isa Bin Maryam-as. Allah-azwj the Exalted
Said: And there is none from the People of the Book except that he would believe in him
before his death, and on the Day of Judgement he would happen to be a witness against
them [4:159].

‫اي علي إنه ال ميوت رجل يفرتي على عيسى بن مرمي عليه الصالة والسالم حىت يؤمن به قبل موته ويقول فيه احلق حيث ال ينفعه‬

O Ali-asws! A man fabricating upon Isa-as Bin Maryam-as would not be dying until he believes in
him before his death and saying the Truth regarding him-as when that would not benefit him
anything; and you-asws are upon its like. Your-asws enemy will not be dying until he sees you
during the death, so it would become an anger and grief until he accepts with the Truth of
your-asws matter, and he is saying the Truth regarding you-asws, and accepts with your-asws
Wilayah when that would not benefit him anything.

.‫وأما وليك فإنه يراك عند املوت فتكون له شفيعا ومبشرا وقرة عني‬

And as for your-asws friend, he would see you-asws during the death, so it would become a
healing for him and glad tidings, and a delight of the eyes’’.305

asws said: ‘How will you meet it?’ He said, ‘Severely painful’.

He-asws said: ‘What you are facing rather is what is beginning your meeting with it and an
introduction of some of its states. But rather, the people are two (types of) mean – One
resting with the death, and one whom the others are at rest from him, therefore renew the
Eman with Allah-azwj to become a resting one’.

So, the man did that, then said: ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! These here are Angels of my
Lord-azwj with the welcoming and the gifts, greeting upon you-asws, and they are standing in
front of you-asws, therefore permit for them to be seated’.

Al-Reza-asws said: ‘Be seated, Angels of my-asws Lord-azwj!’. Then he-asws said to the patient: ‘Ask
them, have they been Commanded with standing in my-asws presence?’ The patient said, ‘I
asked them, and they mentioned that if in your presence was every one whom Allah -azwj
Created from the Angels, they would stand for you-asws and would not be seated until you-asws
permit for them. That is how Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded them’.

‫ السالم عليك ايبن رسول هللا هذا شخصك ماثل يل مع أشخاص حممد ومن بعده االئمة عليهم‬:‫مث غمض الرجل عينيه وقال‬

Then the man closed his eyes and said: ‘The greetings be upon you -asws, O son-asws of Rasool-
Allah-saww! This person (body) of yours-asws, a resemblance has been made to be for me along

Then a door to the Paradise is opened for him and he-saww is saying: ‘This is your house, so if
you so like, we-asws can return you to the world, and for you would be gold and silver therein’.
He is saying, ‘There is no need for me regarding the world’. Then, during that, his colour
whitens and his forehead sweats, and his lips shrink, and his nostrils spread, and his right eye
sheds tears, therefore whichever of these signs you see, suffice with it.

and placed upon his bed, his soul comes out in front of the people, going ahead and meets
the souls of the Momineen, who are greeting unto him and giving him the glad tidings of what
Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Praise has Prepared for him of the Bounties.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Amar Bin Marwan who
said,

‘It was narrated to me by the one who heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘From you, by Allah-
azwj, He-azwj will Accept, and for you, by Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Forgive! There isn’t anything

between one of you and him being happy and seeing the joy and delight of the eyes except
his soul reaching over here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws throat.

Then he-asws said: ‘When it will be that, and he is dying, Rasool-Allah-saww would present to
him, and Ali-asws and Jibraeel-as, and the Angel of death, and Ali-asws would go near him and he-
asws would be saying: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This one used to love us-asws, the People-asws of the

Household, so I-asws love him. And Rasool-Allah-saww is saying: ‘O Jibraeel-as! This one used to

And Jibraeel-as is saying to the Angel of death: ‘This one used to love Allah -azwj, and His-azwj
Rasool-saww, and the People-asws of the Household of His-azwj Rasool-saww, so I-as love him, and
you-as be kind with him’. The Angel of death goes near him and is saying: ‘O servant of Allah -
azwj! Shall I liberate your neck? Shall I take a deed of your freedom? You attached with the

great Infallibles -asws during the life of the world?’’

‫ أما الذي كنت حتذره‬،‫ صدقت‬:‫ فيقول‬،‫ والية علي بن أيب طالب‬:‫ وما ذاك ؟ فيقول‬:‫ فيقول‬،‫ نعم‬:‫ فيوفقه هللا عزوجل فيقول‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘So, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Harmonise him and he would be saying,
‘Yes’. He would say: ‘And what is that?’ He would say, ‘Wilayah of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws’. He
would say, ‘You speak the truth. As for that which you were fearing, Allah-azwj has Secured you
from it, and as for that which you were wishing for, you have (now) realised it. Meet the
righteous ancestors as friends, Rasool-Allah-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws’.

Then his soul flows and easy flowing, then his shroud descends from the Paradise, and his
embalmment from the Paradise with strong musk, and he is enshrouded with that shroud and
embalmed with that embalmment, then he is clothed with yellow clothing from the garments
of the Paradise. When he is placed in his grave, a door from the doors of the Paradise is
opened for him and there enter upon him from its aromas and its breezes, then room is made
for him from his front of a travel distance of a month, and from his right, and from his left.

When our-asws Qaim-asws rises, Allah-azwj would Send them and they would come with him-asws
gathering as groups and groups. During that, the falsifiers would be suspicious, and innovators
would become fewer – and few is what they would be – the lecturers would be destroyed,

‫* فرحني مبا آتيهم هللا من فضله ويستبشرون ابلذين مل يلحقوا هبم من خلفهم أال خوف عليهم وال هم حيزنون‬

In a Hadeeth of the atheist who questioned Al-Sadiq-asws about issues, he said, ‘Inform me
about the lamp when it is extinguished, where does its light go?’ He-asws said: ‘It goes and will
not return’. He said, ‘So what are you-asws denying that the human being happens to be like

that, when he dies and the soul separates the body, will not return to it, ever, just as the
illumination of the lamp does not return to it when it is extinguished?’

‫ فإذا ضرب أحدمها ابآلخر سطعت من‬،‫ مل تصب القياس إن النار يف االجسام كامنة واالجسام قائمة أبعياهنا كاحلجر واحلديد‬:‫قال‬
‫ والروح جسم رقيق قد ألبس قالبا كثيفا ليس مبنزلة‬،‫ فالنار اثبتة يف أجسامها والضوء ذاهب‬،‫بينهما انر تقتبس منها سراج له الضوء‬
،‫السراج الذي ذكرت‬

He-asws said: ‘The analogy is not correct. The fire in the bodies is latent, and the bodies are
standing by its assistance, like the stone and the iron. When one of them is hit with the other,
a fire (sparks) emerges from between the two, a lamp takes from it having illumination for it.
So, the fire is affirmed in their bodies and the illumination is gone (not there), and the soul is
a thin body wearing a thick coat. It isn’t at the status of the lamp which you mentioned.

‫ وركب فيه ضرواب خمتلفة من عروق وعصب وأسنان وشعر وعظام وغري ذلك هو حيييه‬،‫أن الذي خلق يف الرحم جنينا من ماء صاف‬
،‫بعد موته ويعيده بعد فنائه‬

The One-azwj Who Created a foetus in the woman from clear water, and Installed in it a variety
for veins, and nerves, and teeth, and hair, and bones, and other than that, He-azwj would Revive
it after its death, and Repeat it after its annihilation’.

،‫ يف بطن االرض حيث مصرع البدن إىل وقت البعث‬:‫ فأين الروح ؟ قال‬:‫قال‬

He said, ‘So, where is the soul?’ He-asws said: ‘In the belly of the earth where the body demised,
up to the time of Resurrection’.

،‫ يف كف امللك الذي قبضها حىت يودعها االرض‬:‫ فمن صلب أين روحه ؟ قال‬:‫قال‬

He said, ‘One who dies, so where would his soul be?’ He-asws said: ‘In a palm of the Angel of
death who captured it, until he deposits it in the ground’.

،‫ فعند ذلك تبطل االشياء وتفىن‬،‫ بل هو ابق إىل وقت ينفخ يف الصور‬:‫قال أفيتالشي الروح بعد خروجه عن قالبه أم هو ابق ؟ قال‬
.‫ وذلك بني النفختني‬،‫ وذلك أربعمائة سنة تسبت فيها اخللق‬،‫ مث اعيدت االشياء كما بدأها مدبرها‬،‫فال حس وال حمسوس‬

He said, ‘Does the soul evaporate after its exit from it mould or does it remain?’ He -asws said:
‘But, it remains up to a time there is a blowing into the Trumpet. During that, the things would
be invalidation and perish, and there would neither be anything to feel nor anything felt. Then
the things would be repeated just as they had begun and planned, and that would be four
hundred years the creation would be dormant, and that is between the two blowing (of the
Trumpet)’’.325

(Ali Bin Ibrahim said): ‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The purgatory (Barzakh) – the grave, and it is the
Reward and the Punishment between the world and the Hereafter’, and the evidence upon
that as well are the words of the Aalim-asws: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws do not fear upon you except
for the purgatory’.

And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! They would be joyful in the Paradise, with the ones who
had yet to catch up with them from the ones left behind in the world from the Momineen,
(when they all get together), and like it are many (instance) of what is a rebuttal upon the
ones who deny the Punishment of the grave’’.329

Among what Amir Al-Momineen-asws wrote to Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr was: ‘O servants of
Allah-azwj! What is after the death for the one is not Forgiven (his sins) is severer than the
death (itself) – the grave. Therefore, beware of its narrowness, and its hardships, and its
darkness, and its estrangement. The grave says every day: ‘I am the house of estrangement!
I am the house of dust! I am the house of loneliness! I am the house of the insects and the
vermins!

‫ قد كنت ممن احب‬،‫ مرحبا وأهال‬:‫ إن العبد املؤمن إذا دفن قالت له االرض‬،‫ أو حفرة من حفر النار‬،‫والقرب روضة من رايض اجلنة‬
،‫ فيتسع له مد البصر‬،‫ فإذا وليتك فستعلم كيف صنيعي بك‬،‫أن متشي على ظهري‬

And the grave is a garden from the Gardens of the Paradise, or it is a pit from the Pits of the
Fire. When the Momin servant is buried, the ground calls out to him: ‘Welcome and hello!
You were from the ones I used to love waling upon my back. Since you have come around,
you will come to know how my dealing would be with you’. So, it expands for him to the
extent of the sight.

And that when the Kafir is buried, the grounds says to him: ‘There is neither a welcome for
you nor a hello! You were from the ones I hated walking upon my back. Since you have come
around, you will come to know how my dealing would be with you’. It would constrict for him
until his ribs meet, and that the straitened life which Allah -azwj Cautioned His-azwj enemies
from, is the Punishment of the grave.

Ninety-nine serpents are caused to overcome upon the Kafir in his grave. The tear his flesh,

If one of the serpents from these were to blow into the earth, vegetation would not grow.

and left of the bier at times until he-saww ended with it to the grave. Then Rasool-Allah-saww
descended into his grave and evened the soil upon him, and went on saying: ‘Give me -saww a
stone! Give me wet soil!’ He-saww was blocking with it what was between the soil.

When he-saww was free from shoving the soil upon him and evening his grave, Rasool-Allah-
saww said: ‘I-saww know that he would decompose, and the decay would arrive to him, but Allah-
azwj Loves a servant when he does a deed He-azwj had Commanded him for’.

When he-saww had evened the soil upon him, the mother of Sa’ad said, ‘O Sa’ad!
Congratulations for you of the Paradise’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O mother of Sa’ad, Shh! Do
not decide upon your Lord-azwj, for the squeezing has hit Sa’ad’.

said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We saw you-saww do unto Sa’ad what you-saww did not do

He says, ‘My Lord-azwj is Allah-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is my Prophet-saww, and Islam is my

Religion’. So, they expand for him in his grave to the extent of his sight, and they come to him
with the food from the Paradise, and the aromas and breezes enter into him. And these are
the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: So if he is from the ones of proximity [56:88] Then
there would be cool breeze and aroma [56:89], meaning in his grave, and a Blissful Garden
[56:89], meaning in the Hereafter’.

‫ وإنه ليناشد حامليه بصوت يسمعه كل شئ إال الثقالن‬،‫ إذا مات الكافر شيعه سبعون ألفا من الزابنية إىل قربه‬:‫مث قال عليه السالم‬
،‫ ارجعون لعلى أعمل صاحلا فيما تركت‬:‫ ويقول‬،‫ لو أن يل كرة فأكون من املؤمنني‬:‫ويقول‬

Then he-asws said: ‘When the Kafir dies, seventy thousand Angels (of Hell) from Al-Zabaniyya
escort him to his grave, and he (the deceased) appeals to his carriers with a voice which all
things hear except the human beings and the Jinn, and he is saying, ‘If only there was a return
for me, I would become from the Momineen!’ And he is saying, ‘Return me, so I can perform
righteous deeds regarding what I neglected!’.

،‫ لورد لعاد ملا هني عنه‬:‫ ويناديهم ملك‬،‫ كال إهنا كلمة أنت قائلها‬،‫فتجيبه الزابنية‬

The Zabaniyya answer him: ‘Never! It is just a word you are saying it’. An Angels calls out to
them: ‘He would return to repeat to what he had been Prohibited from’.

‫ من ربك ؟ وما دينك ؟ ومن نبيك ؟‬:‫فإذا ادخل قربه وفارقه الناس أاته منكر ونكري يف أهول صورة فيقيمانه مث يقوالن له‬

When he enters his grave and the people separate, Munkar and Nakeer come to him in a
terrifying image and they make him stand, then they are saying to him: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj?
And what is your Religion? And who is your Prophet-saww?’

‫ من ربك ؟ وما دينك ؟ ومن‬:‫ مث يقوالن له‬،‫ فيضرابنه ضربة من عذاب هللا يذعر هلا كل شئ‬،‫فيتلجلج لسانه وال يقدر على اجلواب‬
‫ ال أدري‬:‫نبيك ؟ فيقول‬

But, his tongue would be heavy and he would not be able upon the answer, so they would
strike him from a Punishment of Allah-azwj, and all things panic to it. Then they are saying to
him: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj? And what is your Religion? And who is your Prophet-saww?’ He says,
‘I don’t know’.

:‫ وذلك قول هللا عزوجل‬،‫ مث يفتحان له اباب إىل النار وينزالن إليه من احلميم من جهنم‬،‫ ال دريت وال هديت وال أفلحت‬:‫فيقوالن له‬

They are saying to him: ‘Neither did you try to know, nor be guided, nor succeeded’. Then
they open for him a door to the Fire and they bring down to him from the boiling waters of

Hell, and these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And if he were from the
beliers, the straying ones, [56:92] He shall descend from the boiling water [56:93], meaning
in the grave, And arrive in the Blazing Fire [56:94], meaning in the Hereafter’’.339

My father, from Al Humeyri, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from his father, from
Saeed Bin Al Musayyab who said,

‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws used to advise the people and to make them to be ascetic in this
world and incline them towards the deeds for the Hereafter by this speech in every Friday in
the Masjid of the Messenger-saww of Allah-azwj which was preserved and written down.

‫ فتجد كل نفس ما عملت يف هذه الدنيا من خري حمضرا وما عملت‬،‫ واعلموا أنكم إليه ترجعون‬،‫ أيها الناس اتقوا هللا‬:‫كان يقول‬
! ‫ وحيك ابن آدم الغافل ! وليس مبغفول عنه‬،‫ وحيذركم هللا نفسه‬،‫من سوء تود لو أن بينها وبينه أمدا بعيدا‬

He-asws would say: ‘O you people! Fear Allah-azwj and know that you will be returning to Him-
azwj. So, each soul would find what it had done in this world from the good in recorded form,

and what it had done from the evil even though there would have been between it and itself
a long time. And Allah-azwj Himself-azwj has Cautioned you, and woe be unto you O oblivious
son of Adam-as for He-azwj is not Oblivious of it.

‫ وقبض امللك‬،‫ وكأن قد أوفيت أجلك‬،‫ ويوشك أن يدركك‬،‫ قد أقبل حنوك حثيثا يطلبك‬،‫ابن آدم إن أجلك أسرع شئ إليك‬
،‫ منكر ونكري ملساءلتك وشديد امتحانك‬:‫ واقتحم عليك فيه ملكاك‬،‫ وصرت إىل منزل وحيدا فرد إليك فيه روحك‬،‫روحك‬

O son of Adam-as, your death is the quickest thing coming towards you seeking you in an
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 return your soul back to
you in it, and two Angels would storm into it, Naakir and Nakeer to question you and test you
severely.

If he was a Momin, he would say, ‘I testify that he-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww having come with
the Truth’. It would be said to him, ‘Sleep a sleep there being no dream in it, and the Satan-la
would keep away from him, and there would be an expansion for him in his grave of seven
cubits, and he would see his place from the Paradise’.

He-asws said: ‘And when he was a Kafir, he would say, ‘I don’t know’. So, he (Angel) would strike
such a strike, every one from the creatures of Allah -azwj would hear it except for the human
beings, and the Satan-la overcomes upon him, and for him-la would be two eyes or brass or fire
(fiery eyes), like the bolt of lightning, and would be saying to him, ‘I-la am your brother’. And
there would overcome upon him, the snakes, and the scorpions, and his grave would darken

Then he turns to his deeds and says, ‘By Allah-azwj! I used to be abstaining regarding you. You
were heavy upon me, so what is that for me with you?’ It says, ‘I am your pair in your grave,
and the day of your Resurrection until I and you both are presented to your Lord-azwj’.

If he was a friend of Allah-azwj, there would come to him, the most aromatic smelling of the
people, and most beautiful of them in looks, and the most decorative of them in clothing, and
he is saying, ‘Receive breezes from Allah-azwj and aromas and a blissful Garden. You have sent
ahead a goodly sending forward’. He says, ‘Who are you?’ He says: ‘I am your righteous deeds,
departing from the world to the Paradise’, and he recognises his washer, and pleads to his
carriers to hasten on.

‫ وأبصارمها كالربق‬،‫ وأصواهتما كالرعد القاصف‬،‫ ويبحثان االرض أبنياهبما‬،‫ جيران أشعارمها‬،‫فإذا ادخل قربه أاته ملكان ومها فتاان القرب‬
‫ من ربك ومن نبيك وما دينك ؟‬:‫ فيقوالن له‬،‫اخلاطف‬

When he enters his grave, two Angels come to him and they are the two youths of the grave,
dragging their hairs, and exploring the ground with their teeth, and their voices being like the
exploding thunder, and their eyes being like the bolt of lightning, and they say to him: ‘Who
is your Lord-azwj, and who is your Prophet-saww, and what is your Religion?’

He says, ‘Allah-azwj is my Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is my Prophet-saww, and Islam is my

and it is the Word of Allah-azwj: Allah Affirms those who believe with the Firm Word in the life

So, it is expanded for him in his grave to the extent of his sight, and they open for him a door
to the Paradise and say to him: ‘Sleep a calm sleep, sleep of the sleeping youth’, and it is His -

And when he was an enemy to his Lord-azwj, the ugliest of the creatures of Allah-azwj in looks
comes to him, and of the stinkiest of the smells, and would say to him: ‘Be a recipient or a
descent from the boiling water, and arrival to the Blazing Fire’. And he recognises his washer,

When he enters his grave, the two examiners of the graves come to him and throw his shroud
away from him, then say to him: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj? And who is your Prophet-saww? and
what is your Religion?’ He says, ‘I don’t know!’ They say to him: ‘Neither did you try to know,

When he-saww came out, it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww have done something with

‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘When the servant enters into his cell (grave), two Angels come to him,
their names being Munkar and Nakeer. The first of what they are asking him is about his Lord-
azwj, then about his Prophet-saww, then about His-azwj Guardian-asws. So, if he answers (correctly),

he would attain salvation, and if he is unable, they would punish him’.

‫ ما ملن عرف ربه ونبيه ومل يعرف وليه ؟‬:‫فقال له رجل‬

A man said to him-asws, ‘What is for one who recognises his Lord-azwj, and his Prophet-saww, but
does not recognise (His-azwj) Guardian-asws?’

‫ وقد قيل للنيب صلى هللا عليه‬.‫ ذلك ال سبيل له‬،‫ ومن يضلل هللا فلن جتد له سبيال‬،‫ وال إىل هؤالء‬،‫ مذبذب ال إىل هؤالء‬:‫فقال‬

He-asws said: ‘Wavering, neither to these ones, nor to those ones, and one whom Allah-azwj Lets
to stray, that one, there is no way (out) for him. And it had been said to the Prophet-saww,
‘Who is the Guardian-asws O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj?’ He-saww said: ‘Your Guardian-asws in this
era is Ali-asws, and from after him-asws would be his-asws successor-asws, and for every era there
is a knowledgeable one Allah-azwj Argues through him-asws, lest they become just as the straying
ones from before them had said, when their Prophets-as separated from them: ‘Our Lord! If
only You had Sent a Rasool to us, then we would have followed your Signs from before we
were disgraced and shamed’ [20:134]. The complete of their straying was their ignorance of
the Signs, and they-asws are the succesors-asws.

Allah-azwj Answered them: Say: ‘Every one is awaiting, therefore wait, for soon you will come
to known who is the companion of the Even Path and who is Guided’ [20:135], and rather
their waiting was that they said, ‘We are in a leeway about recognising the succesors-as until
we recognise an Imam-asws’. So, Allah-azwj Made them recognise that.

‫ وال يدخل النار إال من أنكرهم وأنكروه الهنم‬،‫ ال يدخل اجلنة إال من عرفهم وعرفوه‬،‫ وقوف عليه‬،‫واالوصياء هم أصحاب الصراط‬

They-asws are the witnesses upon their-asws friends, and the Prophet-saww is a witness upon
them-asws. A Covenant of the servitude with the obedience was Taken for them, and the
Prophet-saww took the Covenants with the obedience, therefore his-saww Prophet-hood flowed
unto them-asws, and that is the Word of Allah-azwj: So how will it be, when We Come with a
witness from every community, and We Come with you as a witness upon them? [4:41] On

earth could be levelled with them, and they shall not be (able to) conceal any facts from

Ibn Mahboub, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Jazy who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Where are the souls of the Momineen?’ He-asws said: ‘The souls of
the Momineen are in chambers in the Paradise, eating from its foods, and drinking from its
drinks, and they are visiting each other in it and they are saying, ‘Our Lord-azwj! Establish the
Hour for us for us to be Recompensed what You-azwj Promised us!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Where are the souls of the Kafirs?’ He-asws said: ‘In chambers of
Fire, eating from its foods, and drinking from its drinks, and they are visiting each other

Ibn Abu Najran and Al Bazanty, both together, from Aasim Bin Humeyd,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘When the Momin servant dies, six
images enter with him into his grave – among these is an image most beautiful of these in
faces, and most majestic of these of body, and most aromatic of these in aroma, and the
cleanest of these in images’.

‫ وتقف اليت هي أحسنهن فوق‬،‫ واخرى عند رجله‬،‫ واخرى خلفه‬،‫ واخرى بني يديه‬،‫ واخرى عن يساره‬،‫ فيقف صورة عن ميينه‬:‫قال‬
،‫ مث كذلك إىل أن يؤتى من اجلهات الست‬،‫ فإن ايت عن ميينه منعته اليت عن ميينه‬،‫رأسه‬

He-asws said: ‘An image stands on his right, and another on his left, and another in front of him,
and another behind him, and another by his legs, and that which is the best of them stands
above his head. So, if he is come to from his right, that which is on his right prevents him.
Then it is like that until he is come to from the six direction’.

morphed as a lizard, and with him was his son, and they did not know how they should be

upon that they should take a trunk (of a tree) and make to by like the body of a man. So, they
did that, and they clothed the trunk, then they enshrouded it in the shrouds. No one from the
people notice it, except his son and I-asws’’.368

He said, ‘Good. I am awaiting the Holy Spirit, and I don’t know anyone more magnificent

asws, nor higher in the Presence of Allah-azwj of position. Observe patient my brother-asws, upon

what you-asws are in, until you-asws meet the beloved (Rasool-Allah-saww), for I have seen our
companions, what they faced yesterday from the children of Israel. They were sawn with the
saws and they were carried upon the timber.

And had they known, these dusty, ugly ones’ – and he gestured by his hand toward the people
of Syria – ‘What has been Prepared for them regarding their fighting against you, from the
Punishment and evil exemplary Punishment, they would shorten it (fighting). And if these
bright faces knew – and he gestured by his hand to the people of Al-Iraq – ‘What is there for
them in obeying you-asws, they would have loved to be sawn by the saws. And the greetings
be upon you-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’.

In a lengthy Hadeeth regarding the Ascension (Mi’raj), from Abu Abdullah -asws, until he-saww
said: ‘And there I-saww was with a people, in front of them were meals of good meat and bad
meat, and they were eating the bad and leaving the good. So, I-saww asked Jibraeel-as: ‘Who are
they?’ He-as said: ‘Those from your-saww community who were eating the Prohibited (foods)
and were leaving the Permissible’.

Then I-saww by a people who had lips for them like the lips of camels gnawing the flesh from
their own bodies, and casting it in their mouths. I-saww said: ‘Who are they, O Jibraeel-as?’ He-
as said: ‘They are the slanderers, the defamers’.

،‫ الذين يرتكون صالة العشاء‬:‫ من هؤالء اي جربئيل ؟ فقال‬:‫ فقلت‬،‫مث مررت أبقوام ترضخ وجوههم ورؤوسهم ابلصخر‬

Then I-saww passed by a people their faces and their heads were being broken with the rocks.
I-saww said: ‘Who are they, O Jibraeel-as?’ He-as said: ‘Those used to neglect Al-Isha Salat’.

‫ هؤالء الذين أيكلون أموال اليتامى‬:‫ من هؤالء ؟ قال‬:‫ فقلت‬،‫مث مضيت فإذا أان أبقوام يقذف ابلنار يف أفواههم فتخرج من أدابرهم‬

Then I-saww went on, and I-saww was with a people, fires being thrown into their mouths, and it
was coming out from their behinds. I-saww said: ‘Who are they?’ He-as said: ‘He-as said: ‘those
who are consuming the wealth of the orphans unjustly, are rather consuming fire in their

Then I-saww went on, and there I-saww was with a people, (each) one of them was trying to get
up but was unable due to the largeness of his belly. I -saww said: ‘Who are they, O Jibraeel-as?’
He-as said: ‘Those who are consuming the interest are not standing except as the standing of

They are saying, ‘Our Lord-azwj! When would the Hour be Established?’ And they are not

It is said, ‘When (Syeda) Fatima Bint Asad-as, mother of Amir Al-Momineen-asws passed away,
Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws came crying, so the Prophet-saww said to him-asws: ‘What makes you-

The Prophet-saww said to him-asws: ‘But, my-saww mother-asws, O Ali-asws, for she used keep her-

race to us in the morning to pick from it, then she would keep it – may Allah-azwj be Pleased
from her-asws – and when the clan of Umayya would go out, she-asws would give that to me-saww

afterwards he-saww slept in her-asws grave and indoctrinated her-asws the testimony.

When he-saww poured sand over her-asws and the people wanted to leave, Rasool-Allah-saww
went on saying to her-asws: ‘Your-asws son-asws! Your-asws son-asws! Your-asws son-asws! Neither Ja’far-

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww did a deed what we have not see the like of it at all!
You-saww walked slow steps, and extolled seventy Takbeers, and you-saww slept in her grave,
and placed your-saww shirt upon her-asws, and your words to her: ‘Your-asws son-asws! Your-asws

He-saww said: ‘But, I-saww was careful in placing my-saww feet and raised her-asws in a state of the
escorting of the funeral due to the congestion of the numbers of Angels. And as for my -saww
extolling seventy Takbeers, (because) there were seventy rows of the Angels. And as for my-

squeezing of the grave and she-as had said: ‘O my-asws weakness to it!’ So, I-saww slept in her-asws

And as for my-saww enshrouding her-asws with my-saww shirt, I-saww had mentioned to her-asws

said: ‘Oh and its evil!’ So, I-saww enshrouded her-asws with it for her-asws to stand with it on the

And as for my-saww words to her-asws: ‘Your-asws son-asws! Your-asws son-asws! Neither Ja’far-as, nor
Aqeel-as’, so it is because when the two Angels descended unto her-asws and questioned her-
asws about her Lord-azwj, she-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj is my-asws Lord-azwj’. And they said, ‘Who is your-
asws Prophet-saww?’ She-asws said: ‘Muhammad-saww is my-asws Prophet-saww’. They said, ‘Who is

your-asws Guardian-asws and your-asws Imam-asws?’ She-asws was too embarrassed to be saying:
‘My-asws son-asws!’ So, I-saww said to her-asws my-saww words: ‘Your-asws son-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu

‫ فأحدث هللا عزوجل فيهم االحالم‬،‫ فازدادوا له تكذيبا وبه استخفافا‬،‫ورفاات‬

They said, ‘And what is the Paradise and the Fire?’ So, he-as described that to them. They said,
‘When will we be going to that?’ He-as said: ‘When you die’. They said, ‘We have seen our dead
ones to have become bones and residue’. The opposed him-as in belying and taking it lightly,
so Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic brought the dreams into occurrence among them.

‫ هكذا تكون أرواحكم إذا متم وإن‬،‫ إن هللا عز ذكره أراد أن حيتج عليكم هبذا‬:‫ فقال‬،‫فأتوه فأخربوه مبا رأوا وما أنكروا من ذلك‬
.‫بليت أبدانكم تصري االرواح إىل عقاب حىت تبعث االبدان‬

Then they came to him-as and informed him-as of what they had seen and what they had
denied from that. He-as said: ‘Allah-azwj, Mighty is His-azwj Mention, Wanted to Argue upon you
with this. That is how your souls would become when you die, and that your bodies would be
afflicted and become souls to a Punishment until the bodies are Resurrected’’.385

‫ حىت إذا انصرف املشيع ورجع املتفجع اقعد يف حفرته جنيا لبهتة السؤال وعثرة‬:‫ قال أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم يف خطبة‬:‫ هنج‬- 69
،‫ وفورات السعري‬،‫ وتصلية اجلحيم‬،‫ وأعظم ما هنالك بلية نزل احلميم‬،‫االمتحان‬

Amir Al-Momineen-asws said in a sermon: ‘Until when the escorters leave and the mourners
return, he is seated in his pit (grave) surviving the astonishing questioning and stumbling
examination; and the most grievous of the affliction to descend over these is the boiling water
and arrival to the Blazing Fire, and the bursts of the flames.

.‫ وال سنة مسلية بني أطوار املواتت وعذاب الساعات‬،‫ وال موتة انجزة‬،‫ وال قوة حاجزة‬،‫ وال دعة مزحية‬،‫ال فرتة مرحية‬

There is neither any period of rest, nor a leave of ease, nor any strength of an intervener, nor
any death of solace, nor any time of entertainment between the phases of the dead ones and
Punishment of the times’’.386

‫ فإن‬،‫ وأعدوا له قبل نزوله‬،‫ وامهدوا له قبل حلوله‬،‫ وابدروا املوت يف غمراته‬:‫ قال أمري املؤمنني عليه السالم يف خطبة‬:‫ هنج‬- 70
،‫ ومعتربا ملن جهل‬،‫الغاية القيامة وكفى بذلك واعظا ملن عقل‬

Nahj (Al Balagah) –

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said in a sermon: ‘And hasten towards the death in its immersing, and
be guided to it before its permeation, and prepare for it before its descent, for the peak is the
Day of Judgment. And that suffices as a preaching for one who uses his intellect, and a lesson
for one who is ignorant.

And before reaching the peak is he narrowness of the graves, and difficulties of the despair,

the deafness of the ears, and darkness of the grave, and fear of the threat, and covering of

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik, from Muhammad Bin Ammar, from Abu Baseer
who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and he-asws kicked the ground with his-asws leg, and
there (I saw) an ocean in which were ships of silver. So, I embarked and he-asws embarked
along with me until we ended up to a place wherein were tents of silver. He-asws entered these,
then came out and said: ‘Did you see the tent which I-asws entered first?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

He-asws said: ‘That was a tent of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the other was a tent of Amir Al-
Momineen-asws, and the third was a tent of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and the fourth was a tent of
(Syeda) Khadeeja-asws, and the fifth was a tent of Al-Hassan-asws, and the sixth was a tent of Al-

Reward and the Punishment in the world after the death, before the Day of Judgment, so
Allah-azwj the Exalted is Saying: On the Day when it comes, no soul shall (be able to) speak
except by His Permission, then from them (some) would be unfortunate and (some)
fortunate [11:105] So as for those who are unfortunate, they would be in the Fire wherein
sighing and groaning for them [11:106] Abiding therein so long as the skies and the earth
endure, [11:107] – the Verse.

‫ فإذا‬،‫وأما الذين سعدوا ففي اجلنة خالدين فيها ما دامت السموات واالرض إال ما شاء ربك " يعين السماوات واالرض قبل القيامة‬
" ‫ " ومن ورائهم برزخ إىل يوم يبعثون‬:‫ ومثل قوله تعاىل‬،‫كانت القيامة بدلت السماوات واالرض‬

And as for those who are fortunate, they would be in the Paradise, abiding therein for as
long as the skies and the earth endure, except what Allah so Desires, [11:108] – meaning the
skies and the earth before the Day of Judgment, replacing the skies and the earth; and like
the Words of the Exalted: And behind them is purgatory up to the Day they would be
Resurrected [23:100].

‫ " النار يعرضون عليها غدوا وعشيا ويوم تقوم الساعة‬:‫ ومثله قوله تعاىل‬،‫ وهو الثواب والعقاب بني الدنيا واآلخرة‬،‫وهو أمر بني أمرين‬

And it is a matter between the two matters, and it is the Reward and the Punishment between
the world and the Hereafter, and its example are the Words of the Exalted: The Fire – they
would be presented to it morning and evening; and on the Day the Hour would be
Established, [40:46] – and the morning and evening cannot happen to be during the Day of
Judgment which is the House of the eternal abiding, and rather they are happening in the
world.

‫ " وهلم رزقهم فيها بكرة وعشيا " والبكرة والعشي إمنا يكوانن من الليل والنهار يف جنة احلياة قبل يوم‬:‫وقال هللا تعاىل يف أهل اجلنة‬

And Allah-azwj the Exalted Said regarding the inhabitants of the Paradise: and for them would
be their sustenance therein morning and evening [19:62]. But rather, they would be existing
from the night and the day, in a Garden of the life before the Day of Judgment. Allah -azwj the
Exalted Said: neither seeing (heat of a) sun therein nor intense cold [76:13]; and an example
of it are the Words of the Glorious: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah's Way as
dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169] Rejoicing in
what Allah has Given them from His Grace [3:170] – the Verse.393

So on that Day, none would be Questioned about his sin [55:39], he-asws said: ‘(None) from
you, meaning from the Shias’. neither a human being nor Jinn. He-asws said: ‘Its meaning is,
the one who befriends Amir Al-Momineen-asws and disavows from his-asws enemies, and
permits his-asws permissible(s), and prohibits his-asws prohibition, then he enters into the sins
and does not repent in the world, there would be a Punishment for it in the purgatory, and

than the honey’.

(Majlisi says), ‘Our belief regarding the selves is that these are the souls which are with life,
and these are the first creation due to the words of the Prophet-saww: ‘The first of what Allah-

from a house to a house, and these (souls) are strangers in the world and embodied in the

He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww went out in a funeral of Sa’ad, and seventy thousand Angels
has escorted him. So Rasool-Allah-saww raised his-saww head towards the sky, then said: ‘The
likes of Sa’ad would be squeezed’. (He - the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-
asws! We are narrating that he used to belittle with the urine (uncleanness)’. So he -asws said:

‘Allah-azwj Forbid! But rather, he was with harsh mannerisms upon his family’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from
Ghalib Bin Usman, from Bashir Al Dahan,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The two Angels, Munkar and Nakeer, come over to the
deceased when he is buried, their voices being like echoing thunder, and their eyes being like
quick lightning, piercing the ground with their canines, and trampling in their hair, so they are
questioning the deceased: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj, and what is your Religion?’

‫ أعن‬:‫ ما تقول يف هذا الرجل الذي خرج بني ظهرانيكم ؟ فيقول‬:‫ فيقوالن له‬،‫ وديين االسالم‬،‫ هللا ريب‬:‫ فإذا كان مؤمنا قال‬:‫قال‬

،‫ ويفتح له ابب إىل اجلنة ويرى مقعده فيها‬،‫ ويفسح له يف قربه تسعة أذرع‬،‫ال حلم فيها‬

He-asws said: ‘If he was a Momin, he would say, ‘Allah-azwj is my Lord-azwj, and my Religion is Al-
Islam’. They are saying to him: ‘What you are saying regarding this man who (has) appeared
between you (and us)?’ He says, ‘Is it about Muhammad-saww, Rasool-Allah-saww that you are
questioning me?’ They are saying, ‘Testify that he is Rasool-Allah-saww’. He says, ‘I testify that
he-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww’. They are saying to him: ‘Sleep a sleep in which there are no
dreams’, and they expand nine cubits for him in his grave, and open for him a Door to the
Paradise, and he sees his seat therein’.

‫ من ربك ؟ وما دينك ؟ وما تقول يف هذا‬:‫ فيقوالن له‬،‫ عيناه من حناس‬،‫وإذا كان الرجل كافرا دخال عليه واقيم الشيطان بني يديه‬

And if he was the Kafir man, they both come over to him, and the Satan-la stands in front of
him, his-la eyes being (the colour of) of brass, so they are saying to him: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj,
and what is your Religion, and what are you saying regarding this man who has appeared
between you (and us)’. He says, ‘I do not know’. So, they both leave him with the Satan-la who
then will expose him to ninety-nine snakes in his grave, such that if one of these were to blow
in the earth, no tree would grow, ever! And they open for him a Door to the Fire, and he sees
his seat therein’’.420

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I said, ‘And what would they be questioned about?’ He-asws said:
‘About the Divine Authority-asws established between them. It would be said to the Momin:
‘What are you saying regarding so and so, son of so and so?’ He would be saying, ‘That is my
Imam-asws’. It would be said, ‘Sleep. May Allah-azwj Grant sleep to your eyes’. And they would
open for him a Door from the Paradise, and he would not cease to be gifted from its

And it would be said to the Kafir: ‘What are you saying regarding so and so, son of so and so?’
So he would be saying, ‘I have heard of him, and I do not know what he is’. It would be said
to him: ‘You will not know’. And they would open for him a Door from the Fire, so he would

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When the man is placed in his grave, two Angels come over
to him, an Angel upon his right and an Angel upon his left, and the Satan -la stands in front of
him, his-la eyes being (the colour of) of brass. It is said to him: ‘What are you saying regarding

He-asws said: ‘So he is seized by a panic, and he is saying, if he was a Believer, ‘Is it about
Muhammad-saww Rasool-Allah-saww that you are questioning me?’ So they are saying to him:
‘Sleep a sleep in which there are no dreams’, and they expand his grave by nine cubits, and
he sees his seat from the Paradise, and these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic:
Allah Affirms those who believe with the Firm Word in the life of the world and in the
Hereafter, [14:27].

.‫ فيخليان بينه وبني الشيطان‬،‫ ال أدري‬:‫ من هذا الرجل الذي خرج بني ظهرانيكم ؟ فيقول‬:‫فإذا كان كافرا قاال له‬

is your Imam-asws?’ He says, ‘So and so’. It is said to him, ‘How did you come to know of that?’
He says, ‘A matter which Allah-azwj Guided me towards him-asws, and Affirmed me upon it’. So
it is said to him: ‘Sleep a sleep in which there are no dreams, a sleep of the bride’’.

،‫ اي رب عجل قيام الساعة لعلي أرجع إىل أهلي ومايل‬:‫ فيقول‬،‫مث يفتح له ابب إىل اجلنة فيدخل إليه من روحها ورحياهنا‬

Then they open for him a Door to the Paradise, and there come upon him from its breezes
and its fragrances, so he is saying, ‘O Lord-azwj! Hasten the Establishment of the Hour so I can
return to my family and my wealth’.

‫ من أين‬:‫ فيقال‬،‫ االسالم‬:‫ ما دينك ؟ فيقول‬:‫ فيقال‬،‫ حممد‬:‫ من نبيك ؟ فيقول‬:‫ فيقال‬،‫ هللا‬:‫ من ربك ؟ فيقول‬.‫ويقال للكافر‬

And it is said to the Kafir: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj?’ He says, ‘Allah-azwj’. It is said to him: ‘Who is
your Prophet-saww?’ He says, ‘Muhammad-saww’. It is said: ‘What is your Religion?’ He says, ‘Al-
Islam’. It is said to him: ‘From where did you come to know of that?’ He says, ‘I heard the
people saying, so I said it (as well)’. So, they both strike him with such a strike that if the two
creatures were to gather upon it - the human beings and the Jinns, they would not be able to
bear it, and he would melt like the melting of the lead.

.‫ اي رب أخر قيام الساعة‬:‫ فيقول‬،‫مث يعيدان فيه الروح فيوضع قلبه بني لوحني من انر‬

They then would return the soul to him, and they would place his heart between two tablets
of the Fire, so he would be saying, ‘O Lord-azwj! Delay the Establishment of the Hour’’.424

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Momin, when he is brought out from his house, the
Angels escort him to his grave, crowding around him until when he ends up to his grave, the
ground says to him: ‘Welcome to you and hello. By Allah-azwj! I used to love it that the likes of
you were walking upon me. You shall see what I would be doing with you’. So, it expands for
him to the extent of his vision, and two Angels of the grave come over to him and they both
are seated in the grave, Munkar and Nakeer.

So they cast the soul into him up to his waist and sit him upright, and they question him saying
to him: ‘Who is your Lord-azwj?’ He says, ‘Allah-azwj’. They say: ‘What is your Religion?’ He says,
‘Al-Islam’. They say: ‘Who is your Prophet-saww?’ He says, ‘Muhammad-saww’. They say, ‘Who is

grave from the (furnishings from the) Paradise, and open for him in his grave, a Door to the
Paradise. Clothe him from the clothes of the Paradise until he comes to Us -azwj, and what is

Munkar and Nakeer’.

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from someone else, from Aban, from Abu
Baseer,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘When Ruqayya-as (step) daughter of
Rasool-Allah-saww died, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘She-as caught up with our righteous ancestors –
Usman Bin Mazoun and his companions’.

:‫ قال‬،‫ ورسول هللا صلى هللا عليه واله بتلقاه بثوبه قائم يدعو‬،‫ وفاطمة عليها السالم على شفري القرب تنحدر دموعها يف القرب‬:‫قال‬
.‫إين العرف ضعفها وسألت هللا عزوجل أن جيريها من ضمة القرب‬

He-asws said: ‘(Syeda) Fatima-asws (stood) upon the edge of the grave, her-asws tears were rolling
down into the grave, and Rasool-Allah-saww was wiping his-saww tears with his-saww cloth,
standing, supplicating’. He-saww said: ‘I-saww recognise her-as weakness, and I-saww asked Allah-
azwj Mighty and Majestic that He-azwj Rescues her-as from the squeezing of the grave’’.430

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Salim,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There is none from a place of a grave except it speaks
three times every day: ‘I am a house of the dust! I am a house of affliction! I am a house of
the vermins!’

! ‫ أما وهللا لقد كنت احبك وأنت متشي على ظهري فيكف إذا دخلت بطين ؟‬،‫ مرحبا و أهال‬:‫ فإذا دخله عبد مؤمن قال‬:‫قال‬
،‫ فيفسح له مد البصرويفتح له ابب يرى مقعده من اجلنة‬:‫فسرتى ذلك قال‬

When a Momin servant enters (into it), it says: ‘You are most welcome! By Allah-azwj! I used to
love when you were walking upon my back, then why should I not love you when you are into
my belly. So, you shall soon see that’. Then it expands for him to the extent of his vision, and
there is opened for him a door from which he can see his seat from the Paradise.

He-asws said: ‘And there comes out from that, a man such that his eyes had never seen before
at all more handsome than him, so he is saying, ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! I have not seen anyone
more handsome than you, at all’. He says, ‘I am your good opinion which you were upon, and
your righteous deeds which you were doing’. Then he takes his soul and places it in the
Paradise where he can see his house. Then he says to him, ‘Sleep with delighted eyes’. So, the
aroma from the Paradise does not cease to hit his body, renewing its pleasure and its
fragrance until he is Resurrected’.

‫ فكيف إذا دخلت‬،‫ أما وهللا لقد كنت ابغضك وأنت متشي على ظهري‬،‫ ال مرحبا بك وال أهال‬:‫ وإذا دخل الكافر قالت‬:‫قال‬
،‫ ويفتح له ابب إىل النار فريى مقعده من النار‬،‫ فتضم عليه فتجعله رميما ويعاد كما كان‬،‫بطين ؟ سرتى ذلك‬

He-asws said: ‘And when the Infidel enters (the grave), it says: ‘You are not welcome at all! But,
by Allah-azwj, I used to hate you walking upon my back, so it is more so when you enter into
my belly? You shall soon see that (how much I hate you)’. So, it squeezes upon him and makes
him into decayed dust, and he returns to what he used to be, and there is opened for him a
door to the Fire, so he sees his seat from the Fire’.

‫ أان‬:‫ فيقول‬:‫ اي عبد هللا من أنت ؟ ما رأيت شيئا أقبح منك ! قال‬:‫ فيقول‬:‫ مث إنه خيرج منه رجل أقبح من رأى قط قال‬:‫مث قال‬
،‫ ورأيك اخلبيث‬،‫عملك السيئ الذي كنت تعمله‬

Then he-asws said: ‘Then there comes out from it the ugliest man ever seen at all, so he is
saying, ‘O servant of Allah-azwj! Who are you? I have not seen anything uglier than you’. He
says: ‘I am your evil deeds which you were performing and your bad opinion’.

،‫ مث مل تزل نفحة من النار تصيب جسده فيجد أملها وحرها إىل يوم البعث‬،‫ مث تؤخذ روحه فتوضع حيث رأى مقعده من النار‬:‫قال‬
.‫ويسلط على روحه تسعة وتسعون تنينا تنهشه ليس فيها تنني تنفخ على ظهر االرض فتنبت شيئا‬

He-asws said: ‘Then he seizes his soul and places it where he can see his seat from the Fire.
Then he does not cease to be hit by the blowing’ of the Fire hitting his body, and he finds its
pain and its heat in his body until he is Resurrected, and makes his soul to be overcome by
ninety-nine dragons ravaging him, there not being a dragon who would blow upon the surface
of the earth, and anything would grow (after it)’’.431

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The sins are plenty, major!’ He-
asws said: ‘As for the Day of Judgment, all of them would be in the Paradise by the intercession

of the Prophet-saww obeyed (obedient ones), or a successor-asws of the Prophet-saww. But, by

Allah-azwj! I-asws fear upon regarding the purgatory’. I said, ‘And what is the purgatory?’ He-asws
said: ‘The grave, from when he dies up to the Day of Judgment’’.433

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from Al Husayn Bin Rashid, from Al Murtahal Bin Ma’mar, from
Zareeh Al Muharaby, from Ubadat Al Asady, from Habbat Al Urany who said,

‘I went out along with Amir Al-Momineen-asws to the back (of Al-Kufa), and he-asws paused at
the valley of peace (a graveyard) as if addressing a group of people. So, I stood due to his -asws
standing until I was exhausted. Then I sat until I was tired. Then I stood until there came to
me the likes of what came to me the first time. Then I sat down until I was tired.

comforting him’. I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! And they are like that?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes,
and if the covering is uncovered for you, you would see them in groups and groups discussing’.
I said, ‘Bodily or in spirit form?’ He-asws said: ‘The souls. There is none from a Momin who dies
in a spot from the spots of the earth, except that it is said to his soul: ‘Join at the valley of
peace, and it is a spot from the Garden of Eden’’.434

From Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Ibn Hameed, from Ibn Qays,

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘The Syrian, the one whom Muawiya had sent him
to question about what Ibn Al Asfar had sent to Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws (to ask) about the
spring to which the souls of the Polytheists go to. He-asws said: ‘It is a spring called ‘Salma’’’.446

Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Hashim, from Usman, from Al Husayn Bin Bashaar,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about the Garden of Adam-as.
He-asws said: ‘A garden from the gardens of the world. The sun and the moon used to emerge
upon it, and had it been from the eternal Gardens, he-as would not have come out from these,
ever!’’.447

My father, raising it, said,

‘Al-Sadiq-asws was asked about the garden of Adam-as, ‘Was it from the gardens of the world,
or from the Gardens of the Hereafter?’ He-asws said: ‘It was from the gardens of the world. The

is regarding the gardens of the world before the Day of Judgment, and the evidence upon that
are His-azwj Words: morning and evening, these cannot happen to be in the Hereafter in the
Gardens of Perpetuity, and rather the morning and the evening are in the gardens of the
world to which souls of the Momineen would be transferred to, and the sun and the moon
would be emerging in these’’.449 (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

And We do not Delay except to a calculated term [11:104] On the Day when it comes, no
soul shall (be able to) speak except by His Permission, then from them (some) would be
unfortunate and (some) fortunate [11:105] So as for those who are unfortunate, they would
be in the Fire wherein sighing and groaning for them [11:106] Abiding therein so long as the
skies and the earth endure, [11:107]. So, this is regarding the fire of the world before the Day
of Judgment.

‫ " وأما الذين سعدوا ففي اجلنة خالدين فيها " يعين يف جنان الدنيا اليت تنقل إليها أرواح املؤمنني " ما دامت السموات‬:‫وأما قوله‬

And as for His-azwj Words: And as for those who are fortunate, they would be in the Paradise,
abiding therein - meaning in the gardens of the world to which are transferred the souls of
the Momineen, for as long as the skies and the earth endure, except what Allah so Desires,
being a Gift without interruption [11:108], meaning without being cut off from the Bounties
of the Hereafter in the Paradise happening to be connected with it’’.450 (P.s. – This is not a
Hadeeth)

The Fire – they would be presented to it morning and evening [40:46]. He said, ‘That is in the
world before the Day of Judgment, and that is because during the Day of Judgment, there can
neither be a morning nor an evening, because the morning and the evening, and rather these
happen regarding the sun and the moon, and there isn’t in the eternal Gardens and its Fires,
neither a sun nor a moon’. (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)

regarding it?’ He said, ‘They are saying it is regarding the eternal Fire and they are not being
Punished in what is between that’.

" :‫ إمنا هذا يف الدنيا فأما يف انر اخللد فهو قوله‬:‫ جعلت فداك فكيف هذا ؟ فقال‬:‫ فقيل له‬،‫ فهم من السعداء‬:‫فقال عليه السالم‬

He-asws said: ‘They are from the fortunate ones’. It was said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for
you-asws! How is this so?’ He-asws said: ‘But rather, this is in the world, and as for regarding the
eternal Fire, it is in His-azwj Words: and on the Day the Hour would be Established, the people
of Pharaoh would be entered into the severest Punishment [40:46]’’.451

My father, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Zareys Al Kunasy,

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws!
What is the state of the unitarians, the acknowledgers with the Prophet-hood of Muhammad-
saww, from the sinful Muslims, those who are dying and there isn’t an Imam -asws for them, nor

are they recognising your-asws Wilayah?’

‫ أما هؤالء فإهنم يف حفرهم ال خيرجون منها فمن كان له عمل صاحل ومل يظهر منه عداوة فإنه خيد له خدا إىل اجلنة اليت خلقها‬:‫فقال‬
‫ فإما إىل اجلنة وإما إىل النار‬،‫ فيدخل عليه الروح يف حفرته إىل يوم القيامة حىت يلقى هللا فيحاسبه حبسناته وسيئاته‬،‫هللا ابملغرب‬
،‫فهؤالء املوقوفون المر هللا‬

He-asws said: ‘As for them, they would be in their graves, not coming out from these. So, the
one for whom were righteous deeds and enmity did not appear from him, he would find a
furrow for him to the garden which Allah-azwj Created in the west, and the winds would enter
unto him in his grave up to the Day of Judgment, until he meets Allah -azwj and He-azwj would
Reckon him of his good deeds and his evil deeds. So, either (he will go) to the Paradise, or to
the Fire. They are the ones paused for the Command of Allah-azwj’.

،‫ وكذلك يفعل ابملستضعفني والبله واالطفال وأوالد املسلمني الذين مل يبلغ احللم‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘And similar to that would be done with the weak ones, and the stupid ones, and
the children of the Muslims, those who did not reach the adulthood.

And as for the Nasibis (Hostile ones) from the people of the Qiblah (Muslims), they would find
a furrow for them to the fire which Allah-azwj Created in the east, and the flames would enter
unto them, and the evils, and the smoke, and gushes of the boiling water up to the Day of
Judgment, then after that, their destination would be to the Blazing Fire’’.452

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘It was among what the king
of Rome asked Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, that he asked him-asws about the souls of the

He-asws said: ‘They gather by the rock of Bayt Al-Maqdis during the night of Friday, and it is the
lowest Throne of Allah-azwj. From it, Allah-azwj Spread the earth, and to it He-azwj would be
Folding it, and to it are the Plains (of Resurrection), and from it our Lord-azwj and the Angels
would straighten (Seize it) to the sky’.

.‫ جتتمع يف وادي حضرموت وراء مدينة اليمن‬:‫مث سأل عن أرواح الكفار أين جتتمع ؟ قال‬

Then he asked about the souls of the Kafirs, ‘Where do they gather?’ He-asws said: ‘They gather
in a valley of Hazramout, behind a city of Yemen’’.453

Al Hassan Bin Ahmad, from Salmah, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Bawah, from Ibn Jabalah, from Abdullah Bin Sinan
who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Fountain, and he-asws said to me: ‘A Fountain, (as wide as)
what is between Basra (in Iraq) up to Sana’a (in Yemen). Would you like to see it?’ I said, ‘Yes,
may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws grabbed my hand and took me out to the back of Al Medina,
then struck his-asws leg (in the ground), and I looked at a flowing river, its bank not reaching
except the place which I was standing in, and it resembled like an island. So, it was as if I and
him-asws were standing and looking at a rive flowing from the side of this one, its water being
whiter than the snow, and from its side of this was (one of) milk whiter than the snow, and in
its middle was (one of) wine more beautiful than the sapphire. I had not seen anything better
than that wine, between the milk and the water.

‫ جعلت فداك من أين خيرج هذا ؟ ومن أين جمراه ؟‬:‫فقلت له‬

I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Where does this one come out from? And
from where is its flow?’

He-asws said: ‘These springs are those which Allah-azwj Mentioned in His-azwj Book as rivers in
the Paradise – a spring of water, and a spring of milk, and a spring of wine, flowing in this
river’. And I saw trees on its banks where Houries were hanging by the hair of their heads. I
had not seen anything more beautiful than them, and in their hands were such containers, I
had not seen any containers better than these, not being from the containers of the world.

‫فدان من إحديهن فأومأ إليها بيده لتسقيه فنظرت إليها وقد مالت لتغرف من النهر فمال الشجر معها فاغرتفت مث انولته فشرب مث‬

He-asws approached one of them and gestured to her by his-asws hands to quench him-asws. I
looked at her and she had inclined in order to scoop from the river, and the tree inclined along
with her. She scooped, then gave it to him-asws and he-asws drank, then gave it back to her. And
I gestured towards her, so she inclined to scoop, and the tree inclined along with her, and she
scooped then gave it to him-asws, and he-asws gave it to me, and I drank. I had not seen any
drink which was softer than it, nor tastier than it, and its aroma was the aroma of musk.

I looked into the goblet, and there were three types of drinks in it. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be
sacrificed for you-asws! I have not seen a day like today, at all, nor have I seen the matter to be
like this’. He-asws said to me: ‘This is the least of what Allah-azwj has Prepared for our-asws Shias.
When the Momin dies, his soul come to this river, and taken care of in its garden, and drinks
from its drink.

‫ فاستعيذوا ابهلل‬،‫ واسقيت من محيمه‬،‫ واطعمت من زقومه‬،‫وإن عدوان إذا توىف صارت روحه إىل وادي برهوت فاخلدت يف عذابه‬

And that when our-asws enemy dies, his soul come to the valley or Barhout, and abides in its

‘I accompanied Abu Abdullah-asws in a road of Makkah from Al-Medina, and we encamped at

a station called Asfaan. Then we passed by a dismal black mountain on the left of the road. I

and return to their graves when the sun emerges, meeting each other in the atmosphere and
introducing each other’.

‫ فإذا طلع الفجر‬،‫ ويشربون من محيمها ليلهم‬،‫ وأيكلون من زقومها‬،‫ وإن هلل انرا يف املشرق خلقها ليسكنها أرواح الكفار‬:‫قال‬
‫ فإذا كان املساء عادوا إىل النار فهم‬،‫ برهوت أشد حرا من نريان الدنيا كانوا فيه يتالقون ويتعارفون‬:‫هاجت إىل واد ابليمن يقال له‬
،‫كذلك إىل يوم القيامة‬

He-asws said: ‘And for Allah-azwj there is a fire in the east which He-azwj Created to Settle therein
the souls of the Infidels, and they are eating from its bitter fruits and are drinking from its
boiling water during their night. When the dawn emerges, they break out to the valley in Al-
Yemen called Barhout, which is more intense in heat than the fires of the world. Therein they
are meeting and recognising each other. When it is the evening, they are returning to the fire.
Thus, they would be like that up to the Day of Judgement’.

‫ أصلحك هللا ما حال املوحدين املقرين بنبوة حممد صلى هللا عليه واله من املسلمني املذنبني الذين ميوتون وليس هلم إمام‬:‫ قلت‬:‫قال‬
‫وال يعرفون واليتكم ؟‬

He (the narrator) said, I said, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you-asws well! What is the state of the
Monotheist, the acknowledger with the Prophet-hood of Muhammad-saww, from the (general)
Muslims, the sinners, who are dying and there is no Imam-asws for them, nor are they
recognising your-asws Wilayah?’

‫ فمن كان منهم له عمل صاحل ومل تظهر منه عداوة فإنه خيد له خدا إىل اجلنة اليت‬،‫ أما هؤالء فإهنم يف حفرهم ال خيرجون منها‬:‫فقال‬
،‫ فيلقى هللا فيحاسبه حبسناته وسيئاته‬،‫خلقها هللا يف املغرب فيدخل عليه منها الروح يف حفرته إىل يوم القيامة‬

He-asws said: ‘As for them, so they would be in their graves, not coming out from these. So the
one from them who had righteous deeds for him, and there does not appear from him enmity
(towards us-asws), so a furrow would be grooved out for them to the garden which Allah-azwj
has Created in the west. There would come over to them the breeze from it into his grave up
to the Day of Judgement, and he would meet Allah -azwj, and He-azwj would Reckon him by his
good deeds and his evil deeds.

‫ وكذلك يفعل هللا ابملستضعفني والبله واالطفال وأوالد املسلمني الذين مل‬:‫ قال‬،‫ فهؤالء موقوفون المر هللا‬،‫ إو إىل انر‬،‫فإما إىل اجلنة‬
،‫يبلغوا احللم‬

Either they would go to the Paradise or they would go to the Fire, as they would be pausing
for the Command of Allah-azwj. And similar to that will Allah-azwj Deal with the weak ones (of
understanding), and the foolish, and the children, and the children of the Muslims who did
not reach the puberty.

‫فأما النصاب من أهل القبلة فإهنم خيد هلم خد إىل النار اليت خلقها هللا يف املشرق فيدخل عليهم منها اللهب والشرر والدخان وفورة‬
،‫احلميم إىل يوم القيامة‬

As for the Hostile ones (Nasibis) from the people of the Qiblah (general Muslims), a furrow
would be grooved for them to the fire which Allah -azwj has Created in the east. There would
come over to them, from it, the flames, and the sparks, and the smoke, and bursts of boiling
water, up to the Day of Judgement.

‫ أين ما كنتم تدعون من دون هللا ؟ أين إمامكم الذي اختدمتوه دون االمام‬:‫مث مصريهم إىل احلميم مث يف النار يسجرون مث قيل هلم‬
.‫الذي جعله هللا للناس إماما‬

Then their destination would be to the boiling water, then into the Fire to be heated up. Then
it would be said to them: ‘Wherever you were you were calling from besides Allah-azwj. Where
is your imam whom you were taking to besides the Imam-asws whom Allah-azwj Made to be for
the people as an Imam-asws?’’.459

In that valley there is a well called ‘Balhout’, where the souls of the Polytheists come to feed
and be quenched from the water of pus’’.460

My father, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,

‘A man came to the Prophet-saww and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I saw a great matter!’ He-
saww said: ‘And what did you see?’ He said, ‘He said, ‘I had a patient and wanted to cure him

by the well water at Al-Ahqaf in order to cure him in Barhout. He said, ‘So I ended up at it,
and with me was a canteen and a cup to take the water from it. I poured into the canteen and
there was something in it which had fallen from the atmosphere of the sky, like a chain, and
he (the person connected to the chain) was saying, ‘O you! Quench me, or else I would die
this very moment!’

So I raised my head, and raised the cup towards him to quench him, and there was a man who
had been chained to his neck. So when I went to pass him the cup, it was captured from me
until it was cast towards the sun. Then I came over to the water to scoop it for a second time,
and he was saying, ‘Thirst! Thirst! O you, quench me, or else I would die this very moment!’
But, it was captured from me and cast towards the sun, to the extent that it happened for a

‘Allah-azwj has Permitted for you the Friday for the visitation to your families and your loved
ones from the people of the world!’

‫ على النوق‬،‫مث أيمر هللا رضوان أن أييت لكل روح بناقة من نوق اجلنة عليها قبة من زبرجد خضراء غشاؤها من ايقوتة رطبة صفراء‬
‫ متوجون بتيجان الدر الرطب تضئ كما تضئ‬،‫ عليهم حلل اجلنة‬،‫ فريكبون تلك النوق‬،‫جالل وبراقع من سندس اجلنان وإستربقها‬
،‫ فيجتمعون يف العرصة‬،‫الكواكب الدرية يف جو السماء من قرب الناظر إليها ال من البعد‬

Then Allah-azwj Commands Rizwan to go to every soul with a she-camel from the she-camels
of the Paradise, upon it being a dome of green aquamarine, its covering being of yellow shiny
rubies. Upon the she-camel being intew-woven fabrics of the Paradise and its brocades. So,
they ride the she-camel, upon them being garments of the Paradise, crowned with crowns of
shiny gems, illuminating like the illumination of the shining star in the atmosphere of the sky,
being near to the beholder not from afar, and they gather in the plains.

‫مث أيمر هللا جربئيل من أهل السماوات أن تستقبلوهم فتستقبلهم مالئكة كل مساء وتشيعهم مالئكة كل مساء إىل السماء االخرى‬
،‫ مث يتفرقون يف البلدان واالمصار حىت يزوروا أهاليهم الذين كانوا معهم يف دار الدنيا‬،‫فينزلون بوادي السالم وهو واد بظهر الكوفة‬
،‫ومعهم مالئكة تصرفون وجوههم عما يكرهون النظر إليه إىل ما حيبون‬

Then Allah-azwj Commands Jibraeel-as from the inhabitants of the skies that they welcome
them. So, the Angels of every sky welcome them, and the Angels of each sky escort them to
the other sky and descend them at the valley of peace, and it is a house at the back of Al-Kufa.
Then they disperse in the towns and the cities until they visit their families, those who used
to be with them in the house of the world, and with them are Angels turning their faces away
from what they would be disliking the looking towards what they would be loving to look at.

‫ويزورون حفر االبدان حىت ما إذا صلى الناس وراح أهل الدنيا إىل منازهلم من مصالهم اندى فيهم جربئيل ابلرحيل إىل غرفات‬

And they visit the graves of the bodies until when the people pray Salat and the people of the
world go away to their houses from their praying places, Jibraeel-as calls out with the
departure to the rooms of the Gardens, so they depart’.

‫ جعلت فداك هذا للمؤمن فما حال الكافر ؟‬:‫ فبكى رجل يف اجمللس فقال‬:‫قال‬

He (the narrator) said: ‘The man cried in the gathering, and he said, ‘May I be sacrificed for
your-asws! This is for the Momin, so what is the state of the Kafir?’

Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Accursed bodies beneath the ground in spots of the Fire, and wicked
souls dwelling in the valley of Barhout, from a sulphuric well in wicked places, the Accursed.

That panic and the horrors are delivered to the Accursed wicked bodies beneath the ground
in spots of the Fire.

،‫امللعوانت املصفوفات مسجوانت فيها ال ترى روحا وال راحة إىل مبعث قائمنا‬

These are at the status of the sleeping one when he sees the nightmare, so that body does
not cease to panic and be scared, and those souls are Punished by a variety of the
Punishments in a variety of the harsh places, the Accursed arrays, prisons, where they neither
see any breeze nor rest, until the Sending of our-asws Qaim-asws.

.‫ مث تصري إىل النار أبد اآلبدين ودهر الداهرين‬،‫ وذلك عند النشرات فتضرب أعناقهم‬،‫فيحشرها هللا من تلك املركبات فرتد يف االبدان‬

Then, Allah-azwj would Resurrect these from those places and return them into their bodies,
and that would be during the Publicing (of the deeds), so their necks would be struck, then
they would go to the Fire, for ever and every, and eons and eons’’.463

From Al Humeyri, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, Ibn Raib,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There isn’t anything from the Recompense which would

during his lifetime, so it still flows after his death up to the Day of Judgment; and a stopped
charity, not being inherited; or a mannerism of guidance he adopted, and he used to act with
it and other acted with it from after him; or a righteous child seeking Forgiveness for him’’.464

he used to read, and a well he had dug, and a plant he had planted, and a charity of water he
had caused to flow, and a good mannerism taken with after him’’.465

Majouj, and three collapses – a collapse in the east, and a collapse in the west, and a collapse
in the Arabian island (peninsula), and a fire burning from a well of Aden ushering the people

My father narrated to me, from Suleyman Bin Muslim Al Khashab, from Abdullah Bin Jareeh Al Makky, from
Ata’a Bin Abu Riyah, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said,

‘We performed Hajj with Rasool-Allah-saww, the farewell Hajj, and he-saww grabbed the Door of
the Kaabah, then turned towards us with his-saww face and said: ‘Shall I-saww inform you of the
conditions of the Hour?’ – and the lowest of the people in those days was Salman Al-Farsy-ra,
and he-ra said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’

‫ فعندها يذاب‬،‫ وبيع الدين ابلدنيا‬،‫ وامليل مع االهواء وتعظيم املال‬،‫ واتباع الش ااهوات‬،‫ إن من أش اراط القيامة إض اااعة الص ااالة‬:‫فقال‬
.‫قلب املؤمن وجوفه كما يذوب امللح يف املاء مما يرى من املنكر فال يستيطيع أن يغريه‬

He-saww said: ‘From the conditions of the Day of Judgment are – wasting of the Salat, and
pursuing the lustful desires, and the inclining to the whims (wealthy people) and revering the
wealth, and selling the Hereafter for the world. During it, the heart of the Momin would melt
and his interior would be like the melted salt in the water, from what he would see from the
evil, and he would not be able upon changing it’.

.‫ إي والذي نفسي بيده‬:‫ وإن هذا لكائن ايرسول هللا ؟ قال‬:‫قال سلمان‬

Salman-ra said, ‘And this would be happening, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘Yes, by the
One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-saww soul!

،‫ وامناء خونة‬،‫ وعرفاء ظلمة‬،‫ ووزراء فسقة‬،‫اي سلمان إن عندها امراء جورة‬

O Salman-ra! During it, the rich ones would be tyrannical, and the ministers would be mischief-
makers, and the spiritualists would be unjust, and the trustees would be betrayers’.

.‫ إي والذي نفسي بيده‬:‫ وإن هذا لكائن ايرسول هللا ؟ قال‬:‫فقال سلمان‬

Salman-ra said, ‘And eve this would be happening, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘Yes, by

،‫ ويكذب الصادق‬،‫ ويصدق الكاذب‬،‫ وائتمن اخلائن وخيون االمني‬،‫ واملعروف منكرا‬،‫اي سلمان إن عندها يكون املنكر معروفا‬

O Salman-ra! During it, the evil would be considered good, and the good as evil, and the
betrayer would be considered trustworthy and the trustworthy as a betrayer, and the liar
would be ratified and the truthful one would be belied’.

.‫ إي والذي نفسي بيده‬:‫ وإن هذا لكائن ايرسول هللا ؟ قال‬:‫قال سلمان‬

O Salman-ra! During it the women would be Emirs, and the maids would be consulted, and the
children would be seated upon the pulpits, and the lying would be swept aside, and the Zakat
as a tax, and the Fey as war booty, and the man would be disloyal to his parent, and he would
be righteous with his friend, and the star of the sinner would emerge’.

O Salman-ra! And during it, the woman would be an associate of her husband in the business,
and the rains would become hot, and the anger dignitaries would be a rage, and the poor man
would be belittled. During it the markets would be approximated when this one says, ‘I could
not sell anything’, and this one says, ‘I could not profit anything’, and you will not see except
condemnation of Allah-azwj’.

O Salman-ra! During it a people would follow them, if they speak they would kill them, and if
they are silent they would (still) legalise (their killing), preferring their war booty, violating
their sanctities, and spilling their blood, and filling their hearts with awe, so you will not see
them except as apprehensive, fearful, awed, terrified’.

O Salman-ra! During it, a thing would come from the east, and a thing would come from the
west, colouring my-saww community (with eastern and western traits), so woe be unto the
weak ones of my-saww community from them, and the doom would be for them from Allah -
azwj. They will neither be merciful to the young ones, nor would they be revering the elders,

nor overlooking a disadvantageous one. Their information would be fake, their bodies being
bodies of human beings, and their hearts would be hearts of the Satans-la’.

women, and fall upon the young boys just as they fall upon the young girls in the house of her
family, and the men would resemble with the women, and the women with the men, and the

boasting regarding the clothing, and it would be raining during other than the season for the

‘From the Prophet-saww about the people of Yajouj and Majouj, he-saww said: ‘The people who
are persistently digging with their shovels at the enclosure (barrier). So when it is the night,
they say, ‘Tomorrow we shall be free from it’. But when the morning comes, it turns out to
be stronger than what it was the day before, until (such time as) a man from among them
would profess to Al-Islam where Allah-azwj Intends His-azwj Command to reach him. So the
Momin would be saying, ‘Tomorrow I shall open it, if Allah-azwj so Desires it’. They would come
to it and Allah-azwj would Open it.

By the One in Whose Hand is my-saww soul, the man from among them would pass by the valley
on the shores at Kowfan, and would drink from it until he drains it. So, he would be saying,
‘By Allah-azwj! I have seen this valley once, and the water was flowing in its ground’. It was said,
‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And when will this be?’ He-saww said: ‘When there would not remain in
the world except the like of leftovers in a container’’.476

Zulqarnayn and his word, and the blocking upon Yajouj and Majouj, until he said – ‘Yajouj and
Majouj are digging it once every year, and that they are roaming in their cities until when they
fall into that landfill, it withholds them. So, they return and roam about in their cities. And
they will not cease to do like that until the Hour approaches, and its indications come. So,
when its indications come, and it is the rising of Al Qaim-asws, Allah-azwj would Open it for them,
and these are the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Until when Yajouj and Majouj are
released, and they would be descending from every elevation [21:96]’’.488 (P.s. – This is not

‘There is a barrier between Yajouj and Majouj, and the coming out. Then Zulqarnayn said:
‘This is a Mercy from my Lord, but when the Promise of my Lord comes, He will Make it level,

It has been narrated to me by my father, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Numan al Ahowl,
from Salam Bin Al Mustaneer, from Subeyr Bin Abu Fakhta,

‘From Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn-asws, the (the narrator) said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws was asked
about the two Blowings (into the Trumpet), how much (time would elapse) between the two?’
He-asws said: ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires it to be’.

He-asws said: ‘As for the first Blowing, Allah-azwj would Command (the Angel) Israfeel-as, and he

the sky and the earth. So, when the Angels see Israfeel-as to have descended upon the earth,
and with him is the Trumpet, they would say: ‘Allah-azwj has Given the Permission for there to
be death for the inhabitants of the earth, and the death to be for the inhabitants of the sky!’

‫ فينفخ‬:‫ قال‬،‫ أذن هللا يف موت أهل االرض‬:‫ فإذا رأوا أهل االرض قالوا‬،‫ فيهبط إسرافيل حبظرية بيت املقدس ويستقبل الكعبة‬:‫ق ال‬
،‫ وخيرج الصوت من إسرافيل‬،‫فيه نفخة فيخرج الصوت من الطرف الذي يلي االرض فال يبقى يف االرض ذو روح إال صعق ومات‬

He-asws said: ‘Israfeel-as would descend by the yard of Bayt Al-Maqdis and face towards the
Kabah. So, when the people of the earth see him, they would say, ‘Allah -azwj has Given
Permission for death to be for the people of the earth’. So, he would Blow into it, and a sound
would come out from its side facing the earth, and there would not remain anyone in the
earth possessing a soul except that he would swoon and die. And there would come out the
sound from the side facing the sky, and there would not remain anyone in the skies except
that he would swoon and die, except for Israfeel-as’.

He-asws said: ‘Then Allah-azwj would be Saying to Israfeel-as: “O Israfeel-as! Die!” So Israfeel-as
would die. Then (everything) would be remaining in that (situation) for as long as Allah -azwj so
Desires it to. Then Allah-azwj would Command the skies, so these would shake. And He -azwj
would Command the mountains, so these would disintegrate, and these are the Words of the
Exalted: On the Day they sky will shake with a violent shaking [52:9] And the mountains will
move with a (severe) movement [52:10] - meaning, flattened.

،‫ كما دحاها أول مرة‬،‫و " تبدل االرض غري االرض " يعين أبرض مل يكتسب عليها الذنوب ابرزة ليس عليها اجلبال وال نبات‬
،‫ويعيد عرشه على املاء كما كان أول مرة مستقال بعظمته وقدرته‬

And: On the Day the earth would be changed to another earth [14:48] - meaning, into an
earth upon which the sins would not have been committed, and there would be no mountains
upon it, and no vegetation, just as it had been Flattened the first time, and He -azwj would
Restore the Throne upon the water just as it was the first time around, separate, by His -azwj
Magnificence and His-azwj Power’.

،‫ " ملن امللك اليوم " ؟ فال جييبه جميب‬:‫ فعند ذلك ينادي اجلبار جل جالله بصوت جهوري يسمع أقطار السماوات واالرضني‬:‫قال‬

He-asws said: ‘When that happens, the Compeller, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty would Call out by
a Loud Voice from His-azwj Front which would be heard in the corners of the skies and the
firmaments: “For whom is the Kingdom today? [40:16]. But no one would answer Him-azwj.

am Allah-azwj. There is no god except to Me-azwj Alone. There is no associate for Me-azwj nor a
Vizier, and I-azwj Created My-azwj creation by My-azwj Hands, and I-azwj Caused them to die by My-

azwj would Resurrect the creatures or Blow into the Trumpet’.

(Imam Hassan Al Askari-asws said): ‘Allah-azwj would Send down, in between the two Blowings
of the Trumpet, after the first Blowing, from the thunder of the sky of the world, the swelling
sea which Allah-azwj Said: And the swelling sea [52:6], and it is from semen like the semen of

worn out dead ones, and they would be growing from the earth and be living’’. 513

‘We went over to Abu Abdullah-asws to condole him-asws for (the death of) Ismail. So he-asws
invoked Mercy upon him, then said: ‘Allah-azwj Consoled His-azwj Prophet-saww Himself-azwj, so
He-azwj Said: You shall pass away and they shall be dying [39:30]. And He-azwj Said: Every self
shall taste the death [3:185].

Then he-asws built on the discussion and he-asws said: ‘The inhabitants of the earth would be
dying until there would not remain a single one. Then the inhabitants of the sky would be
dying until there does not remain a single on, except for the Angel of death and the bearers
of the Throne, and Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as.

Then the Angel of death would come until he pauses in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
So He-azwj would Say to him: “Who remains?” – and He-azwj would be more Knowing. He would
be saying: ‘O Lord-azwj! There does not remain except for the Angel of death, and the bearers
of the Throne, and Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as’. He-azwj would Say: “Say to Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-

Nahj (Al Balagah) –

‘He-azwj is the Annihilate of it after its existence, until its existence becomes like its absence,
and the annihilation of the world after its beginning is not stranger than its creation and its
invention. And how can it be so, and if the entirety of its beasts were to gather, from its birds
and its animals, and whatever was from its domesticated ones and its wild ones, and the
variety of its species and its geniuses, and the dull ones of its communities and its clever ones,
upon inventing a mosquito, they would not be able upon inventing it, nor would they
recognise how is the way to its invention?

‫ مقرة ابلعجز عن‬،‫ وتناهت ورجعت خاسئة حسرية عارفة أبهنا مقهورة‬،‫ واتهت وعجزت قواها‬،‫ولتحريت عقوهلا يف علم ذلك‬
‫ مذعنة ابلضعف عن إفنائها‬،‫إنشائها‬

And their intellects would be bewildered regarding the knowledge of that, and its strong ones
would be helpless and frustrated, and they would stand aside and return defeated,
exhausted, regretful, recognising that they are subdued, acknowledging with the inability
from creating it, admitting with the weakness from even annihilating it.

‫وأنه سبحانه يعود بعد فناء الدنيا وحده ال شئ معه كما كان قبل ابتدائها كذلك يكون بعد فنائها بال وقت وال مكان وال حني وال‬
‫ فال شئ إال الواحد القهار الذي إليه مصري مجيع االمور بال‬،‫ وزالت السنون والساعات‬،‫ عدمت عند ذلك اآلجال واالوقات‬،‫زمان‬
‫ ولو قدرت على االمتناع لدام بقاؤها‬،‫ وبغري امتناع منها كان فناؤها‬،‫قدرة منها كان ابتداء خلقها‬

And He-azwj the Glorious would be Repeating after the annihilation of the world, alone, there
not being anything with Him-azwj, just as it was before its beginning, like that it would happen
to be after its annihilation, without a time, nor a place, nor an epoch, nor an era. During that,
the terms and the timings would be non-existent. So, there would not be anything except the
One, the Subduer to Whom is the destination of the entirety of the matters, without (them
having) any power from itself to begin its creation, and without any (power) to stop its own

annihilation, and if they had any power upon (stopping) the annihilation, their remaining
would have been perpetual.

،‫ وال خلوف من زوال ونقصان‬،‫ ومل يكوهنا لتشديد سلطان‬،‫ ومل يؤده منها خلق ما خلقه وبرأه‬،‫مل يتكأده صنع شئ منها إذ صنعه‬
‫ وال لوحشة‬،‫ وال ملكاثرة شريك يف شركه‬،‫ وال لالزدايد هبا يف ملكه‬،‫ وال لالحرتاز هبا من ضد مثاور‬،‫وال لالستعانة هبا على ند مكاثر‬
،‫كانت منه فأراد أن يستأنس إليها‬

The Making of any thing from these did not cause any difficulty for Him-azwj when He-azwj Made
it, and it did not tire Him-azwj the creation of what He-azwj Created and Forming it. And He-azwj
did not Create to Strengthen His-azwj Authority, nor out of fear from the decline and a loss, nor
to be assisted by it against an overwhelming adversary, nor for the guarding by it against a
foe, nor for increasing by it in His-azwj Kingdom, nor for multiplying associates in His-azwj
association, nor for the loneliness which was from Him-azwj so He-azwj Wanted to be comforted
to it.

،‫ وال لثقل شئ منها عليه‬،‫ وال لراحة واصلة إليه‬،‫مث هو يفنيها بعد تكوينها ال لسأم دخل عليه يف تصريفها وتدبريها‬

Then He-azwj would be Annihilating it after having Caused its existence, not for any weariness
or boredom having entered upon Him-azwj in its utilisation and its management, nor for a rest
connected to it, nor for the heaviness of anything from it upon Him-azwj.

‫ مث يعيدها بعد الفناء من‬،‫ وأتقنها بقدرته‬،‫ لكنه سبحانه دبرها بلطفه وأمسكها أبمره‬،‫مل ميله طول بقائها فيدعوه إىل سرعة إفنائها‬
.‫ وال استعانة بشئ منها عليها‬،‫غري حاجة منه إليها‬

The length of its survival does not tire Him-azwj so He-azwj would Call for its quick annihilation,
but He-azwj the Glorious Planned it with subtleness, and Withholds its by His-azwj Command,
and Perfected it by His-azwj Determination. Then, He-azwj would be repeating it after the
annihilation from without there being any need from Him-azwj to it, nor to be assisted by
anything from it, upon it’’.516
