CHAPTER 18 (RARE CHAPTER) REGARDING THE IMAMSasws AND THEIRasws
WONDERS
( 1)

1 It has been narrated to us by by Al-Abbas Bin Marouf, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from
Fazel Bin Yasaar:
Abu Abdullahasws having said that: Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws was given honey. Heasws
drank it and said: Who knows besides Allahazwj from where this honey has come
from, and where it has originated from, and it has the characteristics of being from
such and such a town.
( 2)

.
2 It has been narrated to us by by Ali Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdy with an
unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullahasws
Abu Abullah said: Allahazwj Disdains that Heazwj should Make things to flow without
reasons. Heazwj has Made for everything a reason, and Made for every reason an
explanation, and Made for every explanation a key, and Made for every key a
knowledge, and Made for every knowledge a speaking door. Whoever recognises
himasws (the speaking door) has recognised Allahazwj, and whoever denies himasws
has denied Allahazwj. That (door) is the Rasool Allahsaww and usasws.
( 3)

.
3 It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Saeed, from one of
our companions, from Nasr Bin Qaboos who said:
I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic
[56:30] And extended shade, [56:31] And water flowing constantly, [56:32] And
abundant fruit, [56:33] Neither intercepted nor forbidden. Heasws said: O Nasr, it
is not where the people are going (Not as people understand it to be), but rather (its
meaning is that), heasws is the knowledgeable oneasws, and only (knowledge) comes
out from himasws.

4 It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Saeed, from one of
our companions, from Nasr Bin Qaboos who said:
I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic
[22:45] and deserted well and palace raised high. Heasws said: The deserted
well is the silent Imamasws, and the palace raised high, is the speaking Imamasws.
( 5)

.
5 It has been narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashaam, from Ali Bin Mabad, from Al-Husayn Bin
Khalid:
I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws regarding (the Verse), [55:1] The Beneficent
Allah, [55:2] Taught the Quran. Heasws said that: Allahazwj Taught the Quran. I
said, [55:3] He created man [55:4] Taught him the explanation. Heasws said:
That is Amir-ul-Momineenasws. Heazwj Taught himasws the explanation of all things that
the people will need from himasws.
( 6)

6 It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Qasim Bin yahya, from Al-Hassan
Bin Rashid who said:
I heard Abu Ibrahimasws (Imam Musa e Kazimasws) say that: Allahazwj Revealed unto
Muhammadsaww: Yoursaww worldly days are coming to an end and yoursaww earthly
life has finished, and yousaww have to proceed towards the meeting with yoursaww
Lordazwj. So the Prophetsaww raised hissaww hands towards the sky and said: Our
Allahazwj, Yourazwj Promise, which Youazwj Made with mesaww. Youazwj do not Change
after Committing. Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww that: Yousaww come with the
oneasws yousaww trust. So hesaww supplicated again. O Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww
again: Yousaww and the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas should go to the Mount Ohad,
then climb from its back so that yoursaww back would be towards the Qibla, then call
the mountain to feel yoursaww presence. When it does, take a young healthy female
sheep, and then tell the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas to slaughter it by the neck and
turn its skin and you will find inside it an insignia. So, the Spirit and Jibraeel will
descend upon yousaww, and with him will be a paper and a pen and ink, which is not
from the inks of the earth. The ink will remain, and the skin will remain, and the earth
shall not devour (degrade) it nor will the dust spoil it. All that is in it will not be
increased and will remain preserved, hidden.

So a Revelation will come to yousaww to inform you what has happened in the past
and what is to transpire in the future to yousaww, and yousaww should dictate it to the
sonasws of yoursaww uncleas, and heasws should write it with that very ink.

So, hesaww went until hesaww ended up at the mountain and did what hesaww had been
Ordered to do. Hesaww encountered whatsoever that hissaww Lordazwj had Described to
himsaww. When hesaww began to slice the sheep, Jibraeel and the Spirit descended,
along with a number of the Angels whose number is not known, except to Allahazwj,
and they were present in that gathering. Then Aliasws placed the skin in front of
himasws, and got prepared to write upon it by the ink, which was green like the
vegetables, and even greener and more illuminating. Then Revelation descended
upon Muhammadsaww, and hesaww went on to dictate to Aliasws, and heasws wrote upon
it the description of every era and whatever was regarding it and information of all
that which had happened and that which was going to happen up to the Day of
Judgement. And hesaww explained to himasws things whose interpretation is not known
to any but Allahazwj and those who are firmly rooted in the knowledge (Al-Rasikoon
Fil Ilm).

.
So hesaww informed himasws of what is to transpire with the Guardians of Allahazwj from
hisasws descendants, from the beginning up to the Day of Judgement, and informed
himasws of everyone who will be an enemy to himasws, in every era or the eras until
heasws understood that and wrote it down. Then hesaww informed himasws of the events
that will transpire with himasws and with themasws (hisasws descendantsasws) from after
himasws. So heasws asked about it. Hesaww said: The patience, the patience, and Isaww
bequeath the patience to the successorsasws and to submit until such time as the
coming of the relief (Al-Qaimasws). And hesaww informed himasws of the signs of hisasws
time, and the signs of the generation, and the portents (signs), which will take place
during the kingdom of the Clan of Hashim. So, from this Book, heasws could extract all
the epic events, or if it goes to the successorasws when the Command comes to
himasws, heasws speaks of wonders.

7 It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan, from Maraazim and Musa
Bin Bakr who said:
We heard Abu Abdullahasws say: With regards to the Peopleasws of the Household,
Allahazwj never Ceased to Send from usasws, the oneasws who knows Hisazwj Book from
5 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
its beginning to its end, and that in ourasws possession is the Permissibles of Allahazwj
and Hisazwj Prohibitions and what is to conceal and what is to reveal from that which
is going to occur (until the Hereafter).
( 8)

8 It has been narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Musa Al-Khashaab, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from
Usmaan Bin Jabalah, from Kaamil Al-Tammar who said:
One day I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, heasws said: O Kaamil, (Allahazwj)
has Made us Arbaab (sustainer of people) and have Asked people to turn to us and
then said, our knowledge is unique and it does not help if one tries to seek it from
(others) thousands.
( 9)

9 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu
Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Muhammad Bin Muslim:
Abu Jafarasws said: An Arabi 1 went and stood at the door of the Masjid. He looked
expectantly at Abu Jafarasws, tied up his camel, and came up and kneeled in front of
him, and he had a Shamla (garment) on him. Abu Jafarasws said: Where do you
come from, O Arabi ? He said, I come from a country far away. Abu Jafarasws said:
The country is bigger than that, so where do you come from? He said, I come from
the caves of Aad. Heasws said: Yes, so have you seen a cave that when the traders
pass by they take shelter in it with their goods? He said, Who has taught youasws,
may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws? Imamasws said: It is in a Book
which is in ourasws possession and everything else that you have seen as well.

.
He said, I have seen a dark valley in which are reptiles and owls, and its bottom
cannot be seen. Imamasws asked: Do you know what that valley is? He replied, No,
by Allahazwj, I do not know. Imamasws said: That is Barhoot in which is every infidel.
Then he said, Who told youasws? Imamasws turned away from the Bedouin and said:
Iasws reached a people and sat in their gathering. They did not have with them any
food except for the milk of their sheep, and that was their food and their drink.
A villiager

Then heasws looked at the sky and said: Our Allahazwj, curse him. So the people
sitting around himasws said, May we be sacrificed for you. Imamasws said: He is
Kabeella who is being punished by the heat of the sun and the bitter cold. Then
another man came, so heasws said to him: Have you seen Jafarasws? So the Bedouin
said, And who is this Jafarasws that heasws is asking about? They said, That is
hisasws sonasws. He said, Glory be to Allahazwj, how strange is this man. Heasws
informs us of the news from the sky and does not know where hisasws sonasws is!
( 10)

10 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu
Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:
I and Abu Jafarasws entered the Masjid which was full of men and there was Tawoos
Al-Yamani saying to his companions, Do you all know when half the people were
killed? Abu Jafarasws heard him say half the people, so heasws said: But rather it
was a quarter of the people. There were Adamas, and Hawwaas, and Habeelas and
kabeella. He (Tawoos) said, Youasws have spoken the truth, O sonasws of the Rasool 2
Allahsaww.

.
Muhammad Bin Muslim said, I said to myself, This is a problem. I came to hisasws
house and heasws put on clothes for relaxation. Heasws started narrating to me before I
could question himasws. Heasws said: O Muhammad Bin Muslim, in India there are
free people who have clothed a man in black clothes and tied up his hands behind
his neck, and a group of ten people have been assigned to him. The people die but
the group remains, as one man is replaced by another one to take his place when he
dies. They turn his face towards the sun wherever it goes, punishing him by the heat
of the sun, and the bitterness of the cold up until the Establishment of the Hour. So I
said, Who is that, may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws. Heasws said:
That is Kabeel.

11 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al-Barqy, from Fazaalat Bin
Ayub, from Ubeyda who said:
Messenger of

www.hubeali.com
I said to Abu Jafarasws that, Saalam Bin Abu Hafs said, Has it reached you that the
one who dies, and he has no Imamasws for him, has died the death of an ignorant
one? I said, Yes. He said, Who is your Imamasws? I said, My Imamsasws are the
Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. He said, By Allahazwj, what I hear from you, is what I
understand to be an Imamasws.
Abu Jafarasws said: Woe upon Saalam. Does Saalam know what is the status of the
Imamasws? The Imamasws is greater and higher than what Saalam and all the people
together make it out to be, and heasws (the Imam) from usasws does not pass away at
all, except that, Allahazwj Appoints oneasws from (usasws) after himasws whose actions
are similar to hisasws actions, and will walk on hisasws path, and will call to (people) in
a similar way to which heasws (hisasws predecessor) called to, and heasws has not been
prevented from what Allahazwj has Granted to Dawoodas, that heas granted to
Suleimanas, greater than what had been Granted to Dawoodas.
( 12)

.
12 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abu Abdullah Al-Barqy, from
Fazaalat, from Abdul Hameed Bin Nasr who said:
Abu Abdullahasws said: He is denying the obligatory obedience to the Imamasws, and
he is fighting against it. By Allahazwj, there is nothing in the earth greater in the
Presence of Allahazwj than the obligatory obedience, and Ibrahimas was around for a
long time. The Command Descended upon himas from Allahazwj, and there was no
obligatory obedience until Allahazwj Honoured himas and Made himas greater. Heazwj
Said: [2:124] Surely I will make you an Imam of men Ibrahimas realised what it
contains of the preference. Heas said: And of my offspring? My covenant does
not include the unjust, said He. Abu Abdullahasws said: But it is to be in hisas
(holy) descendants, and it will not be (reach) in others.

13 It has been narrated to us by Abdullah Abu Al-Qasim, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn
Bin Al-Mukhtar Al-Qalanasy, from Abu Baseer:
Abu Jafarasws, regarding Allah'sazwj Statement [4:54] and We have given them a
grand kingdom, said: (its regarding) the obligatory obedience (to an Imamasws).
( 14)

14 It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, who has said from Ibn Abu Umeyr:
Abu Jafarasws, regarding Hisazwj Statement: [4:54] and We have given them a
grand kingdom, said: (its about) the obligatory obedience (to a Divine Imamasws).

15 It has been narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour, from
Fazeyl Al-Awr, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Hazaa who said:
It was the era of Abu Jafarasws when heasws had just passed away (met martyrdom),
and we were like sheep with no shepherd to them. I met Saalam Bin Abu Hafs. He
said, O Ubeyda, who is your Imamasws? I said, My Imamsasws are the Progenyasws of
Muhammadsaww.
He said, You have perished and caused others to perish, but I have, have you not
hear from Abu Jafarasws , who has said: One who dies and he has not an Imamasws
for him, has died the death of Jahiliya (without religion)? I said, Yes, by my life, it
has been like that, and also (I have heard) a third one (similar to this). But let us go
to Abu Abdullahasws.
Allahazwj will Give us the sustenance of understanding. I came to himasws and said to
himasws, I met Saalam. He said to me such and such, and I said to him such and
such. Abu Abdullahasws said: Woe be unto Saalam, Woe be unto Saalam, three
times, But, does Saalam know what is the status of the Imamasws?
An Imamasws is greater than what Saalam takes it to be, and what all the people do.
O Abu Ubeyda, heasws from usasws does not pass away until heasws leaves behind
oneasws after himasws who will act similarly to hisasws actions, and walks on the path
similar to hisasws, and calls to that similar to what heasws called to. O Abu Ubeyda,
heasws has not been prevented from what Allahazwj Granted to Suleimanas, in fact
higher than what heas was given. Then heasws recited: [38:39] This is Our free gift,
therefore give freely or withhold, without reckoning. I said, What Allahzwj
Gave? Heasws said: Yes, O Abu Ubeyda! When Al-Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of
Muhammadsaww makes the stand, heasws will judge by the Judgement of Dawoodas
and Suleimanas. Heas will not ask the people for (any) proof (but issue judgements
based on Divine Proofs).

I heard Abu Abdullahasws say: The earth will never be except that in it is a
knowledgeable oneasws who has the knowledge similar to the first oneasws, and
inherited from the Rasool Allahsaww, and from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. The people
are dependent on himasws but heasws is not needy to anyone.
( 17)

17 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from
Abu Baseer who says:
I asked Abu Abdullahasws (about the Verse) [4:54] But indeed We have given to
Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand
kingdom. Imamasws said: What is it? I said, Youasws know (what I would like to
know), may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws. Heasws said: Obedience
(to an Imamasws being made) Obligatory by Allahazwj.

Najraan, from Abu Jameela, from Maalik Al-Jahny who said:
I said to Abu Abdullahasws, [6:19] and this Quran has been revealed to me that
with it I may warn you and whomsoever it reaches, do you bear witness.
Heasws said: The Imamasws from usasws warns by it just as the Rasool Allahsaww
warned by it.

from one of our companions, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said:
I said to Abu Abu Abdullahasws, I asked yourasws fatherasws, and I want to ask
youasws. Heasws said: And about which thing did you want to ask? I said to himasws,
With youasws is the knowledge of the Rasool Allahsaww, and hissaww Books, and
knowledge of the successorsas and theiras Books. Heasws said: Yes, and much more
than that. Ask, whatsoever that occurs to you.

heasws sees from hisasws sons, the oneasws who knows it, and the earth does not
remain for a single day without an Imamasws from usasws to whomasws the nation has
to resorts to. I said, Can there be two Imamsasws? Heasws said: No, except that
oneasws of the twoasws will be silent. Heasws will not speak until after the first oneasws
passes away.

said:
I saw Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws and heasws was looking at the sky and heasws was

believers. Heasws supplies the knowledge to them.

Yes, look again. Then he returned to him. Then heasws said in a loud voice: O you
rich pit, the listening one, the obedient to its Lordazwj, quench our thirst from what
Allahazwj has Made to be in you. The sweetest water came out from it which left him
and his friend spellbound. Al-Balkhy said to himasws: May I be sacrificed for youasws.

said: But, by Allahazwj, Iasws have taught them this, and weasws are more learned
about it than they are, but they should just submit to others. Then heasws said: But,

I, and Al-Hars Bin Al-Mugheira, and someone else came to Abu Abdullahasws. AlHars said to himasws that, This one, meaning Mansour Al-Sayqal, does not want
(anything) except to hear the Hadith from us. By Allahazwj, what he knows is what he

accepts, from what he responds to. Abu Abdullahasws said: This is the man from the
submitters (to the Hadith). It is the submitters (to the Hadith) who are from the
excellent ones. (See Hadith 25 below)
( 25)

.
25 It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from AlQasim Bin Muhammad, from Salat Bin Hanaan, from Abu Al-Sabaah Al-Kanany who said:
I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said: O Abu Al-Sabaah, [23:1]
Successful indeed are the believers. Abu Abdullahasws said: Successful indeed
are the submitters (to the Hadith). Heasws said it three times, and I said it three times.
Then heasws said that: The submitters (to the Hadith), they are the chosen ones on
the Day of Judgement. They are the people of the Hadith.

26 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa who said:
Dawood Al-Farsy read out to me a letter of Abu Al-Hassan- the Thirdasws and hisasws
answer written (in response to a question). He said, We would like to ask you about
the knowledge that has been copied down to us from yourasws forefathersasws, and
yourasws ancestorsasws, in which we find differences in (instructions) to us (when we
make comparison). How should we resolve the differences and act in accordance
with (Ahadith) without having to face differences in those. Hisasws answer was read
out to (me) by (Dawood) as: What you know (with certainty) that these are ourasws
words, maintain it, and what you do not know (unsure about), refer it back to usasws.
( 27)

27 It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim
Al-Fazeyl, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said:
I said to Abu Abdullahasws, Our companions are differing. I said, My words are the
words of Jafar Bin Muhammadasws. Heasws said: Jibraeel descended with it (this
Hadith).

I said to Abu Abdullahasws that, Among us is a man called Kalyba. We do not narrate
anything from youasws, but he says, I submit (accept). We call him Kaleyb the
submitter. Heasws invoked mercy upon him, then said: Do you know what is the
submission? We remained silent. Heasws said: By Allahazwj, it is the humbleness. The
Statement of Allahazwj [11:23] Surely (as to) those who believe and do good and
humble themselves to their Lord.

Bin Isa, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Basheer Bin Al-Dahaan, from Kaleyba who said:
Abu Jafarasws said (regarding the Verse): [23:1] Successful indeed are the
believers. Do you know who they are? I said, May I be sacrificed for youasws,
youasws know (better). Imamasws said: Successful indeed are the submitters (to the
Hadith). It is the submitters (to the Hadith) who are the excellent ones. (also see
Hadith 25 above)

Umeyra, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy who said:
I said to Abu Abdullahasws, As for what I have heard from youasws a Hadith, some of
us say, Our words are hisasws words. Heasws said: Ourasws words trusties are saved?
The one who refers the words (Hadith) back to usasws, he is safe.

CHAPTER 21 THE EXPLANATION OF THE COMMANDS OF THE

PROPHETsaww AND THE IMAMSasws REGARDING THEMSELVESasws, AND THE
REFUTATION TO THE ONES WHO EXAGGERATE DUE TO THEIR IGNORANCE
OF WHAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND FROM THE MEANINGS OF THEIRasws
STATEMENTS
( 1)

1 It has been narrated to us by Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashaam, from Al-Qasim Bin Al-Rabie AlWaraaq, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Sabaah Al-Madaainy, from Al-Mufazzal, who has narrated:
It is in the book of Abu Abdullahasws, in the form of a reply which came from Abu
Abdullahasws: After this, Iasws advise you, and myselfasws to fear Allahazwj and for
obedience, for it is from the fear that the obedience comes, and the piety, and the
humility to Allahazwj, and the tranquillity, and the diligence, and the taking to Hisazwj
Commands, and the Advice of Hisazwj Messengersas, and the hastening to Please
Himazwj, and to stay clear of what has been Prohibited by Himazwj. It is the one who
fears, that has scored a victory for himself (protection) from the Fire, by the
Permission of Allahazwj, and achieved all the good in the world and the Hereafter.
And the one who acts by the piety has succeeded in the Exhortation that Allahazwj
has Sent for the pious by Hisazwj Mercy.

Your letter came to measws, I read it and understood its contents. Iasws Praised
Allahazwj for your safety and good health for you, through the intercession of
Allahazwjs Blessing upon usasws, and for your good health in the world and (success)
in the Hereafter. You wrote and mentioned that there is a group of people whose
traditions and their affairs are liked, and you told them of certain matters which they
disliked, and you would not like to see in them a way except for a good way, and as
devout and humble, and it has reached you that they are alleging that the true
religion is the understanding of the certain persons, then after that, when one
has understood these, one can do whatsoever one desires. And you mentioned that
you know that the fundamentals of the Religion, is the knowledge of these persons.
Allahazwj Guided you.
31 out of 48
www.hubeali.com

And you mentioned, that it has reached you that they are alleging that the Prayer,
and the Zakaat, and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage, and
the Lesser Pilgrimage (Umra) of the Sacred Masjid, and the Sacred House, and the
Sacred Signs, and the Sacred Months each one is a person, and that the
Purification, and the Major Ablution, is also a person, and all the Obligations
which Allahazwj has Obligated upon the servants, is a person, and they are
mentioning that by their thinking that the one who understands these persons, it
would suffice for him to act by this, apart from other acts, and if he has Prayed, and
given Zakaat, and Fasted, and performed the Pilgrimage, and the Lesser Pilgrimage,
and performed the Major Ablution, and keeps to cleanliness, and Magnifies the
Sanctimonies of Allahazwj, and the Sacred Months, and the Sacred Masjid, and they
are mentioning that the one who understands these particular ones and finds these
established in his heart, then it is permissible for him to be careless.
So, it is not for him to struggle in the actions, and they allege that if he were to
understand these persons, these limits would be acceptable from him if he were to
perform them in their prescribed times, or may not do so (on time).

And it has reached you that they are alleging that the indecencies which Allahazwj has
Prohibited, the intoxicant, and the gambling, and the interest, and the blood, and the
dead, and the flesh of the swine, are persons. And you mentioned that what Allahazwj
has Prohibited from marrying the mothers, and the daughters, and the paternal
aunts, and the maternal aunts, and daughters of brothers, and the daughters of the
sisters, and what has been Prohibited upon the believers from the women, so what
Allahazwj has Prohibited from it by that to marry the wives of the Prophetsaww, and
what is apart from that is all permissible.
And you mentioned that it has reached you that they marry synonymously with one
woman and they are bearing witnesses in their own favour against the others falsely,
and they are alleging that for this there is an apparent and a hidden, which
they recognise. As for the apparent, they are taking that as their defence, and the
hidden, it is by which they are seeking, and by it they order and claim.

32 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
And you written describing that when it reached you it was of great concern to you
and you wrote asking measws about their speech whether it is Permissible or
Prohibited and wrote to measws asking for the explanation of all that, and Iasws will
explain it until you will no longer be void of its understanding, nor will you have any
doubts, and Iasws am writing to you in this letter of mineasws, that explanation of what
you have asked about. So, memorise all of it as Allahazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book,
listen intently as Iasws will describe for you its Permissibility and negate from you its
Prohibition, Allahazwj Willing, and Iasws describe it to the extent that you will
understand it, Allahazwj Willing, so that you will not deny it, Allahazwj
Willing, and there is no Might except with Allahazwj, and all the Might is with Allahazwj.

Iasws am informing you that the one who has made it to be his Religion with these
qualities which you have written to me and have asked from measws, so he is, as far
as Iasws am concerned, a Polytheist, by Allahazwj the Blessed and the High, and
let there be no doubt with regards to his Polytheism.
And Iasws am informing you that these words, which have been heard from these
people, which are not from its People (Ahl), they do not have the understanding of it
and they do not recognise its limits. What has been heard of the limits of these things
is what they have analogised by their opinions, and the limitations of their intellects,
and they do not place them on the limits of what they have been ordered to, they are
therefore forging lies against Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and their audacity
in their disobedience.
So this is sufficient for them in their ignorance. And had they placed these on their
limits which have been set for them, and accepted these, there would have been no
problem with it, but they distorted it, and transgressed (the limits), and forged lies,
and they regarded the Orders of Allahazwj and being obedient to Himazwj as being of
less importance.
But, Iasws am informing you that Allahazwj has Limited these by Limits because Heazwj
does not Want anyone to exceed these Limits, and had Heazwj Ordered as they have
mentioned, then it would have been an excuse for the people due to their ignorance
of what Limit they exceed from what has been set for them, but the one who
infringed and was negligent of the Limits of Allahazwj, he has an excuse, but the
boundary of Limits has been placed, and none will exceed this except for a
Polytheist Infidel.

33 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
Then Heazwj Said: [2:229] These are the limits of Allah, so do not exceed them
and whoever exceeds the limits of Allah these it is that are the unjust. So Iasws
am informing you of the facts, that Allahazwj Blessed and High has Chosen Al-Islam
for Himself as a Religion and is Pleased by it for Hisazwj Creatures, therefore Heazwj
will not Accept from anyone except by it (Islam), and it was by it (Islam) that Heazwj
Sent Hisazwj Prophetsas and Hisazwj Messengersas.

Then Heazwj Said: [17:105] And with truth have We revealed it, and with truth
did it come. So it was on it (truth) and by it that Hisazwj Prophetsas, and Hisazwj
Messengersas and Hisazwj Prophet Muhammadsaww was Sent. So the one who did not
achieve the understanding of the Messengersas, and theiras Wilayah, and theiras
obedience, was in disgust.
The Permissible is, therefore, what theyas had permitted, and the Prohibited is what
theyas prohibited, and theyas are the origin of it, and it is from themas that are the
branches of the Permissible, and that is theiras quest. And from theiras branches,
theyas ordered the Permissible, and the establishment of the Prayer, and the giving
of the Zakaat, and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage of the
House, and the Umra, and the Magnifying of the Sanctities of Allahazwj and Hisazwj
Signs and Rituals, and the reverence of the Sacred House, and the Sacred Masjid,
and the Sacred months, and the purification, and the major ablution, and the good
morals and its advantages, and all the good (righteousness).

Then Heazwj Mentioned after that in Hisazwj Book that [16:90] Surely Allah enjoins
the doing of justice and the doing of good (to others) and the giving to the
kindred, and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion; He admonishes you
that you may be mindful. So Heazwj Numbered for them the Prohibitions, and their
( guardians) are included in their affairs up to the Day of Judgement.
The immoralities are regarding them, and what is apparent from it and what is
hidden, and the intoxicant, and the gambling, and the interest, and the blood, and the
flesh of the swine, so these are the prohibited and the unlawful and the origin of
every Prohibition, and they are the evil and the origin of all evil, and it is from them
that are the branches of all the evil, and from that are the branches of the Prohibition
and what is not Permissible for them.
It means, from their branches is the belying of the Prophetsas, and fighting against
the (Divine) successorsas, and their committing of the immoralities, and the adultery,
34 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
and the theft, and the drinking of the intoxicant, and the denial, and devouring the
wealth of the orphans, and devouring the interest, and the deception, and the
betrayal, and the committing all the Prohibitions, and indulgence into all kinds of sins.

But rather, Surely Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good (to
others) and the giving to the kindred, it means affection for the near relatives with
a view for theirasws obedience, and Heazwj (Says) and He forbids indecency and
evil and rebellion, and they are the enemies of the Prophetsas and the successorsas
of the Prophetsas, and they have rebelled from theiras love.
(As Allahazwj Says) He admonishes you that you may be mindful, and Iasws inform
you that if Iasws were to say to you that the immoralities, and the intoxicants, and the
gambling, and the adultery, and the dead, and the blood, and flesh of the swine, are
each a person, and you very well know that Allahazwj has Prohibited this
originally and has Prohibited its branches and to stay away from it, and Made its love
of it to be as if one has worshipped one apart from Allahazwj, and idols, and
associated, and the one who called to the worship of his self, is like a Pharaohla.
(Allahazwj Says) [79:24] Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. So all this
is on its perspective. Perhaps Iasws say that it is a person, and he will be to the Fire
and the one who follows him. So understand the example in the Statement of
Allahazwj [2:173] He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and
flesh of swine and you will be ratified, then if Iasws were to say to you that he is so
and so that one, all of it gets ratified that so and so is the worshipped one who has
exceeded the Limits of Allahazwj which Heazwj has Forbidden to exceed from it.

Then Iasws hereby inform you that the Religion and the fundamentals of the Religion,
it is a person, and that is the manasws, and it is the conviction, and it is the faith,
and heasws is the Imamasws of hisasws community and the people of hisasws era. So the
one who recognises himasws has recognised Allahazwj, and the one who denies
himasws has denied Allahazwj, and Hisazwj religion, and the one who is ignorant of
himasws is ignorant of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Religion, and Hisazwj Limits, and Hisazwj laws
without recognition (and submission of a Divine) Imamasws.

35 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
So that is, how it flows, the Religion of Allahazwj, from the recognition (Marifat) of the
men, and the recognition (Marifat) on its perspective, the well established
recognition (Marifat) on the vision by which the Religion of Allahazwj can be
recognised, and by which you can arrive at the recognition (Marifat) of Allahazwj. So
this is the hidden (Baatin) recognition (Marifat) which is firm and this is exactly what
has been Obligated for the obligatory rights of its peopleasws (Ahl).
On it is the Thanks of Allahazwj which has been Bestowed upon it from Allahazwj, and
Heazwj Bestows upon the one whomsoever that Heazwj so Desires it to, with the
apparent (Zaahir) recognition (Marifat).

And the recognition (Maarifat) with regards to the apparent (Zaahir) - so the people
of the recognition (Marifat) with regards to the apparent are the ones who know
ourasws commands with the truth against the others, a knowledge which does not
cause them to recognise the people of recognition on their vision, nor does it make
them stray with that recognition, by reduction (Taqseer) to the Right of the
recognition of Allahazwj as Heazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book [43:86] And those whom
they call upon besides Him have no authority for intercession, but he who
bears witness of the truth and they know (him).
So the one who testifies to the truth, he does not sit upon his heart with the insight
with regards to it. Similarly, the one who speaks, it does sit upon his heart and there
is no difficulty for him as he holds it in his heart and is firm in his vision, for he has
recognised the situation of the men who are the people of the recognition in the
apparent, and the acceptance of the truth against the others, and Heazwj Knows from
before (eternity) and Hisazwj Narrations and Commands which have been transmitted
to the Prophetsaww, and after himsaww to the one to whomasws the recognition reached
to, and they understand with their understanding, theirasws actions, and theirasws
Religion which Allahazwj has Made it to be, the righteous one by his righteousness,
and the wrong-doer by his disobedience. And heasws has said that the one who
enters in this command without certainty, nor with vision, will exit from it. Allahazwj
has Entered in it ourasws sustenance (of all that we need), and beware, you must
have constant insight.

36 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
And Iasws am informing you that if Iasws were to say that the Prayer, and the Zakaat,
and the Fasting in the Month of Ramadhan, and the Pilgrimage, and the Umra, and
the Sacred Masjid, and the Sacred House, and the Sacred Months, and the
cleanliness, and the Major ablution, and all the obligations that the Prophetsaww came
with from hissaww Lordazwj as Religion, Iasws will be ratified, for all that can be
recognised by the Prophetsaww, and had it not been for the recognition of that
Prophetsaww and belief in himsaww and submission to himsaww, these would not have
been understood.
So that is the Favour of Allahazwj which Heazwj Favours on whomsoever Heazwj Likes
to, and had it not been for that nothing from it could have been recognised. So all
that is (Revealed through) the Prophetsaww, and hesaww is the origin of it, and hesaww is
the branch of it, and hesaww called measws to it, and evidenced to it, and made measws
to understand it, and ordered measws and obligated the obedience to himsaww and
there is no leeway for measws to be ignorant of it, and how can Iasws have the leeway
of being ignorant of these when hesaww is in between myselfasws and Allahazwj.
And how can it be upright for measws if Iasws were not to describe that myasws Religion
is the one, which the Prophetsaww gave to measws, and hesaww is myasws Religion.

And how can it not be that recognition of the person and hesaww is the one who came
with it from Allahazwj, and the one who denied himsaww would have denied Himazwj.
Heazwj said [17:94] they said: What! has Allah raised up a mortal to be a
messenger?, then Said [64:6] they said: Shall mortals guide us? So they denied
that person, and belied himsaww and said, Suppose no Angel has Descended upon
yousaww, so Heazwj Said [6:91] Say: Who revealed the Book which Musa brought,
a light and a guidance to men, then Said in another Verse [6:8] And had We
sent down an angel, the matter would have certainly been decided and then
they would not have found respite. [6:9] And if We had made him angel, We
would certainly have made him a man.

Allahazwj Loves that Heazwj should be recognised by persons and that the obedience
to themasws is the obedience to Himazwj. So Heazwj Made themasws to be Hisazwj Way
and Hisazwj perspective through, which they can get (in close proximity) to Himazwj.
37 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
Allahazwj does not Accept from the servants other than that, that Heazwj would not
Question anything that they may do. So Heazwj Said, Making the love for himsaww, to
be an Obligation [4:80] Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah,
and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them.
So the one who says to you that all these obligations are a person and he
understands the Limits of what he is saying, he has spoken the truth. And if
someone who says to you as you have mentioned, without obedience, it has no
meanings to it and adherence to the origin and therefore leaving the branches out.
Meaning testifying that if one testifies there is no god except Allahazwj, but leaves out
the testimony that Muhammadsaww is the Rasool Allahazwj then its useless (one
testimonies is of no value). And Allahazwj never Sent a Prophetas at all except with
righteousness, and justice, and the morals, and the goodness of the actions, and the
prevention from the immoralities, be they apparent or hidden, for the hidden from it is
the Wilayah of the people of the hidden (Divine Imamasws), and the apparent from it
is their branches, and Allahazwj did not Send a Prophetas at all who would call to the
recognition when there is no obedience in the Orders and Prohibitions. Allahazwj
Accepts the deeds from the servants of the obligation which Allahazwj has Obligated
upon them in reference to their Limits along with the recognition of the onesaww who
came by it from Himazwj and calls to Himazwj.

So the first thing from that is the recognition of the oneasws who calls to Himazwj, then
obedience in whatsoever that heasws would say, because whoever achieved that
understanding (Marifat) will be obedient and know that both the apparent and the
hidden of the Prohibitions are Prohibited, and it is not possible for the hidden to be
Prohibited and its apparent to be Permissible, but rather the apparent goes along
with the hidden, and the hidden along with the apparent has been Made to be
Prohibited together.
And it cannot be that the origin (Wilayah) and the branches (limits) and the hidden of
the Prohibition is Prohibited and its apparent is Permissible, nor is the hidden
Prohibited whilst its apparent has been Made to be Permissible, and similarly it is not
correct for him to recognise the hidden (Baatin) Prayer and not recognise the
apparent Prayer, nor Zakaat, nor Fasting, nor the Pilgrimage, nor the Umra, and the
Sacred Masjid, and all the Sanctities of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Signs, and leave out the
recognition of the hidden because of ones considering its hidden as its apparent.

38 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
And it is not correct that you leave out one of it even if it was the hidden of the
Prohibition which is evil, and its apparent will also be the like of its hidden, no doubt
the hidden is similar to the apparent (in submission and in acting upon).
So whoever thinks that this is the recognition (Marifat) and that he has recognised it
without being obedient, he has lied and has committed Shirk (by associating his
opinion to the Divine Commands). This person has neither any recognition (Marifat)
nor any obedience in him. But rather it is to achieve recognition (Marifat) and do not
do whatever you like from the good deeds since no good deed is acceptable from
you without recognition Marifat (both its apparent and its hidden).
So if you have achieved recognition (Marifat), so perform for yourself whatsoever
you like from the obedience, little or more, for it will be acceptable from you.

Iasws am informing you that the one who understands will obey. When he
understands, he Prays, and Fasts, and performs Umrah, and Magnifies all of the
Sanctities of Allahazwj, and does not turn away from anything from that and does all
good deeds, and has all the good moral conduct, and keeps away from all evil, and
all that is the prophetsaww and the Prophetsaww is the origin of this, because hesaww is
the onesaww who came with it and evidenced it, and ordered for it, and nothing will be
acceptable from anyone except by himsaww, and the one who understands will keep
away from the major sins, and Prohibitions of the immoralities, be it apparent from it
or hidden, and Prohibits all the Prohibitions because of the understanding of the
Prophetsaww and by being obedient to himsaww enters into what the Prophetsaww
entered into, and comes out from what the Prophetsaww came out of.

The one who thinks that he knows the Permissibles and restrains from the
Prohibitions, however without the recognition (Marifat) of the Prophetsaww, Allahazwj
does not Permit for his the Permissibles, and does not Prohibit for him the
Prohibition. Even though he is the one who Prays, and gives Zakaat, and performs
the Pilgrimage, and Umrah, and does all of that without the recognition (Marifat) of
the onesaww to whom Allahazwj has Made obedience to be an Obligation, nothing from
it will be acceptable from that, and he is deemed to neither having Prayed, or Fasted,
or given Zakaat, or performed the Pilgrimage and Umrah, or Fasted, nor cleansed,
nor performed the major ablution, nor will Allahazwj Consider his prohibition to be
Prohibition nor his Permissibles to be the Permissibles.
39 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
Therefore, there is no Prayer for him, nor any bowing, or prostrations, nor is there for
him Zakaat even if he has given one Dirham out of forty. And the one who
understands one of it has obeyed Allahazwj.

And what you have mentioned is that they have permitted for themselves to marry
those women whom Allahazwj has Forbidden in Hisazwj Book, for they are thinking that
it has only been Forbidden to us to marry the wives of the Prophetsaww, and it is more
rightful to start from magnifying the Right of Allahazwj and the prestige of Hisazwj
Messengersaww and the magnification of hissaww glory, and what Allahazwj has
Forbidden hissaww followers to marry hissaww wives after Hisazwj Statement, and it is
not for you to injure the Rasool Allahsaww nor marry any of hissaww wives from after
himsaww ever, for that is a great (sin) with Allahazwj. And Allahazwj Blessed and High
has Said [33:6] The Prophet has a greater claim on the faithful than they have
on themselves, and his wives are (as) their mothers, and hesaww is a father to
them. Then Heazwj Said [4:22] And marry not the woman whom your fathers
married, except what has already passed; this surely is indecent and hateful,
and it is an evil way.

.
So the one who has prohibited for himself the wives of the Prophetsaww due to the
Prohibition of Allahazwj that is in order, for Allahazwj has Prohibited in Hisazwj Book the
paternal aunts and the maternal aunts, and the daughters of the brother, and the
daughters of the sister, and what Allahazwj has prohibited the one who has breastfed
you, because considering them to be prohibited is equal to the Prohibition of
marrying the wives of the Prophetsaww. So the one who considers it a prohibition what
Allahazwj has Prohibited are the mothers, and the daughters, and the sisters, and the
paternal aunts, and the wives of the Prophetsaww. So the one who has permitted to
him what Allahazwj has Prohibited, he has associated (himself with Allahazwj which is
Shirk), if he takes it to be a Religion for himself.

And as for your mentioning that the Shiites are synonymously marrying one woman,
so Iasws seek refuge with Allahazwj for that to be from the Religion of Allahazwj and
Hisazwj Messengersaww, but rather their Religion is to permit what Allahazwj has Made
Permissible, and to prohibit that which Allahazwj has Made Prohibited.
40 out of 48
www.hubeali.com
It is happiness what Allahazwj has Permitted from the women in the Book the pleasure
(Mutaa) in the Pilgrimage, postponing both of these then not Prohibiting them. So if
a Muslim man intends to enjoy (Mutaa) the woman in accordance with the Book of
Allahazwj and the Sunnah, then it is a marriage and not adultery, both of them being in
agreement with the love and the recompense and the term, as Allahazwj has Said
[4:24] Then as to those whom you profit by, give them their dowries as
appointed; and there is no blame on you about what you mutually agree after
what is appointed.

If both of them would like to increase the term on that same dowry, they can do so
up until one day before the term runs out, and before sun has set they can increase
the term whatsoever they like. If the last day from it has passed, it would not be
correct except there would be no waiting period in between these days. And if they
would like to do it again or with someone else then the woman would have to wait
forty-five days, and there would be no inheritance issues between them.
Then if she likes, she can enjoy (Mutaa) with someone else. So this is Permissible
for them both up to the Day of Judgement. And if she likes then she can do it with
seven (different men) and if she likes she can do it twenty (different men) as long as
they remain in the world. All this is Permissible for them both upon the Limits of
Allahazwj, and the one who exceeds the Limits of Allahazwj, so he has been unjust to
himself.

And if you decide to enjoy (Mutaa) in the Pilgrimage, then tie the Ehraam with the
carnelian (Aqeeq), and make it to be an enjoyment. So when you proceed,
circumambulate the House and kiss the Black Stone, and begin with it and end
seven cycles by it. Then Pray two Cycles near Maqaam e Ibrahimas. Then come out
from the House, then walk (Saee) in between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa seven times,
beginning with Al-Safa and ending at Al-Marwa. So when you have done that,
observe patience until the Day of Tarwiyya, then do what you did with the carnelian
(Aqeeq). Then tie the Ehraam in between Al-Rukn and Al-Maqaam for the
Pilgrimage, and do not cease to be in Ehraam until you stand at the standing place,
then throw the pebbles (Rami Al-Jamaraat), and give the sacrifice (Qurbani), then
open the Ehraam and perform the bath, then visit the House.
So when you have done that so you would have come out of Ehraam, and it is the
Statement of Allahazwj [2:196] whoever profits by combining the visit with the
pilgrimage (should take) what offering is easy to obtain, you give the sacrifice.

And as for what you mentioned that they consider it to be permissible to testify in
favour of each other and against the others, so that is not the case except for the
Statement of Allahazwj [5:106] O you who believe! call to witness between you
when death draws nigh to one of you, at the time of making the will, two just
persons from among you, or two others from among others than you, if you
are travelling in the land and the calamity of death befalls you. If he is a
traveller and the death presents itself, there should be two just people from his
Religion.
So if he cannot find, then two others from the reciters of the Quran from other than
the people of Wilayah, confine them after the Prayers. So they should take a vow
with Allahazwj that they will turn around and be sold for a small price, even though it
may be a small price, even though it may be from a relative, and will not conceal the
testimony of Allahazwj.

If these two are sinners and that then two others should stand in their place and they
also would be people of their Wilayah, so they will both swear upon Allahazwj that,
Our testimony is better than their testimony, and that if we were to exceed the Limits
then we would be from the unjust people. This is the lowest form of testimony upon
its perspective, or if they fear that they would turn back from their testimonies after
having testified, and fear Allahazwj and listen, and that the Rasool Allahsaww used to
judge in favour of the defendant based upon the testimony sworn by one man on
oath, and the rights of Muslims cannot be falsified nor can the testimony of a
Believer be refuted.

If the defendant swears and the man testifies, his right would be judged to be for
him, and this does not get acted upon. If a Muslim man has a right over the other
and he fights for it, and there is not witness apart from one, and if he raises the
matter with the oppressive governor, his right would be denied, and he will not be
judged with regards to it by the Judgement of the Rasool Allahsaww, and that the right
thing to do during the oppressive times was not to falsify the rights of a man. Allahazwj
will Bring out the right of a Muslim man from his hand and Allahazwj will Reward him
and this will be the justice that the Rasool Allahsaww used to act upon.

And as for what you mentioned regard at the end of your letter that they are alleging
that Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the Worlds is actually the Prophetsaww, and this is similar
to their words, which they are saying regarding Aliasws what they say. So you will
understand that the Sunnah and the examples are sometimes very similar to each
other. Whatever thing has passed, the like of it can also come up in the future, even
if it is a sheep after a sheep. And here it is its example, and know that a people will
be going astray by a straying like the ones before them.

You wrote asking measws about the likes of them and what they are intending by it.
Iasws am informing you that Allahazwj Blessed and High, Heazwj Created the creatures
having no Associate for Himselfazwj. The creation is all for Himazwj, and the
Command, and the world, and the Hereafter, and Heazwj is your Lordazwj and the
Lordazwj of everything and is its Creator. Heazwj Created the creatures and Loved it
that Heazwj should be recognised by the Prophetsas and Argued against them
(people) by themas.

So the Prophetsaww is the evidence to Allahazwj and is a servant, a creature, a slave.
Heazwj Chose himsaww for Himselfazwj for Hisazwj Message, and Honoured himsaww by it.
So heazwj Made himsaww to be a Caliph among Hisazwj creatures, and Hisazwj Tongue
among them, and Hisazwj Trustee to them and Hisazwj Treasurer in the heavens and
the earths. Hissaww word is the Word of Allahazwj. Hesaww will not speak of Allahazwj
except for the truth. The one who obeys himsaww has obeyed Allahazwj, and the one
who disobeys himsaww has disobeyed Allahazwj.

And hesaww is the Master of the one whose Lordazwj and Guardian is Allahazwj. The
one who refuses to be obedient to Rasool Allahsaww has, in fact, refused to be
obedient to his Lordazwj and be in Hisazwj servitude, and the one who accepts to be
obedient to himsaww is being obedient to Allahazwj. And Allahazwj Guided him by the
Prophetsaww, who is the Master of all creatures, whether he recognises that or denies
it. And hesaww is the good parent, so the one who loves himsaww will obey himsaww as
hesaww is the good father, and he will stay away from the major sins.

Iasws have written to you what you had asked measws about, and Iasws know that the
people would listen to what weasws are making of this, but they do not speak by it, but
they alter it, and waste it upon other than its Limits, and the likes of it as has reached
you. And be submissive to Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww and be cautious to the
ones who are prejudicial against usasws, their deeds are evil, and have got usasws to
be accused by the people due to it, and Allahazwj will Judge between usasws and them.
[24:23] Surely those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the
evil), are cursed in this world and the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous
chastisement. [24:24] On the day when their tongues and their hands and
their feet shall bear witness against them as to what they did. [24:25] On that
day Allah will pay back to them in full their just reward, and they shall know
that Allah is the evident Truth.
.
And as for what you wrote, that the likes of these people and you are fearing for
them that what they are attributing to Allahazwj may not be from Hisazwj Attributes, so
Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is more Honourable, and more High and more Great
than what they are saying (attributing to Himazwj).

.
This description of mineasws is the description from ourasws Mastersaww, whose
qualities Iasws have explained, and with usasws this is what weasws have taken. So may
Allahazwj Reward you from usasws, the highest truth, for its Rewarding is upon
Allahazwj, so ponder over this letter and fear Allahazwj.

2 It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from AlHassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Hafs Al-Muzin who said:
Abu Abdullahasws wrote to Abu Al-Khattab: It has reached to measws, that you are
alleging that Al-Khums is a person, and that the adultery is a person, and that the
Prayer is a person, and that the Fast is a person, and this is not as you say it to be.
Weasws are the source of the good, and its branches are the obedience to Allahazwj,
and ourasws enemies are the source of the evil, and its branches are the
disobedience to Allahazwj. Then heasws wrote: You obey the one who does not
understand, how will you understand the one who does not obey?

Bin Ayub, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said:
Abu Abdullahasws said: Do not say about every Verse, this is a person, and this is a
person. From the Quran is the Permissible, and from it, is the Prohibited, and from it,
is the News of what was before you, and Judgement of what is between you, and a
ruling of the news of what will be after you, this is how it is.

I mentioned to Abu Abdullahasws of what Abu Al-Khattab has been saying. Heasws
said: Some have mentioned to me what he has been saying. I said, With regards to
the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: [39:45] When Allah, the One and
Only, is mentioned, the hearts of those who believe not in the Hereafter
shrink he says, When Allah, the One and Only, is mentioned, this is Amir-ulMomineenasws, and but when other than He are mentioned, this is that one and
that one (the enemies of Allahazwj-Abu Bakr and Umar).
Abu Abdullahasws said: The one who says this is a Polytheist, three times. Iasws am
O Allah azwj away from him (Tabarra), three times. But, by that it means Allahazwj
Himselfazwj, but, by that it means Allahazwj Himselfazwj, and Heazwj has Informed in Haa
Meem [40:12] That is because when Allah alone was called upon, you
disbelieved. I said, Does it means by that Amir-ul-Momineenasws.
Abu Abdullahasws said: The one who says this, is a Polytheist. Iasws am to Allahazwj,
away from him (Tabarra), three times. But, by that it means Himselfazwj.

5 It has been narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Adam Bin Ishaq, from
Hashaam, from Al-Haysam Al-Tamimy who said:
Abu Abdullahasws said: O Haysam Al-Tamimy, a group believed in the open and
denied secretly, nothing profited them, and there came a group after them who
believed secretly and denied openly, that did not benefit them anything. There is no

is only confined to the heart with exhibiting it (from deeds).

Jameel Bin Saaleh, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Hazaa, who has narrated the following:
I heard Abu Jafarasws say: By Allahazwj, that companion of mineasws is beloved to

measws, who narrates, and ponders over, and conceals ourasws Hadith, and the evil
one with usasws is the condition of the one who, when he hears the Hadith which has
been associated with usasws, and has been reported from usasws, so his mind does
not accept it and his heart is constricted by what is contained in it, and he fights
against it and denies it to make it his Religion, and he does not know that it could be
the Hadith which is coming from usasws, and to usasws is its link, so by that he has
exited from ourasws Wilayah.

2 It has been narrated to us by Al-Haysam Al-Nahdy, from Muhammad Bin Umar Bin Yazeed, from
Yunus, from Abu Yaqoub Bin Ishaq Bin Abdullah, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: Allahazwj Blessed and High, Restricted Hisazwj
servant by two Verses from Hisazwj Book so that they would say only that which they
know, and dont respond to what they do not know. Allahazwj Blessed and High Said
[7:169] Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they would
not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? and Said [10:39] Nay, they reject
that of which they have no comprehensive knowledge, and the interpretation
of it has not yet come to them.

Jundab, from Sufyaan Bin Al-Sayt who said:
I said to Abu Abdullahasws, May I be sacrificed for youasws, the man who gave us
from before, informed us from youasws with a great matter. Our chests were narrowed
until we belied it. Heasws said: Did he not mean to narrate to you? I said, Yes.
Heasws said: He was saying that the night is the day, and the day is the night? I said
to himasws, No. Heasws said: Refer it back to usasws, for if you were to belie it, you will
have belied usasws.

Hamza Bin Bazeeh, from Ali Al-Sanaany, who has narrated the following:
Abu Al-Hassanasws wrote to him in a letter: Do not say, when it reaches you from
usasws, or its link is to usasws, that this is false, if you understand it differently, for you
do not know why weasws have said it and on which perspective, and description.

Bin Basheer, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

comes from anyone, for you do not know whether it is from the truth, and you will
end up belying Allahazwj on top of the Throne.
