Introduction
In the name of Allah, the Abundantly Merciful, the Intensely Merciful
All praise is due to Allah. May Allahs blessing be on Muhammad and his household the
infallibles. May Allahs blessings be on the musk end, the light of god and his remainder on Earth
(my soul is redemption to him).
Allah the Almighty said: {[On the] day the hypocrite men and the hypocrite women will
say to those who believed, Wait for us, we may acquire of your light. It will be said, Go
back behind you and seek light. Then a wall will be put up between them, for it a gate; its
interior, in it [is] mercy, but its exterior, facing towards the punishment. They will call them,
Were we not with you? They will say, Yes, but you led yourselves to temptation, and you
awaited and you doubted and the wishful thinking deceived you until [the] Command [of]
Allah came. And the deceiver deceived you about Allah. So today no ransom is accepted from
you nor from those who disbelieved. Your abode [is] the Fire; it [is] your protector and the
destination is wretched.} 1
In the stories of the past prophets and their nations that followed them sometimes and
followed the Samaritans some other times, gave victory to the prophets one time then let them
down and gave victory to the tyrant a lot of times, is a lesson for a learner and a memory to
remember.
This means that researching it is important, and passing through it till what happened
after the death of the prophet pbuhap from the removal of the Trustee and the seizure of
power what this event dragged on the nation from tragedies, which we remain extremely
suffering from it till today helps us to understand what happened after the death of the
prophet pbuhap either with the Prince of Believers pbuh or with his sons the infallibles
pbut that suffered from the tyrants that are authoritarian at the helm of government by the
brute power just like the suffering from the Samaritans of the misguided Imams, that always
tried to let the law of Allahs Prophet go astray, and disrespecting the Muslims. Also, looking at
our situation today through the stories of the past prophets and their nations helps on reading
the future which anticipates the emergence of the Seal of the Guardians, al-Mahdi pbuh and
what he will face, either from the tyrants that will underestimate the Muslims and fight him like
the Sufyani, or from the Samaritans (the appalling, non-working scholars).
For this, I estimated that the poor does little work and has many faults, that I will write
this research; perhaps it will be protective for some believers from deterioration into the abyss.
Prevention is better than medicine, actually standing with the Sufyani or the appalling scholars
that will fight al-Mahdi pbuh; there is no medicine for it other than drinking the drink of hell and
1
Al-Hadid 57:13-15
the medication of the chains in hell fire. Perhaps it will be incentive to some of the believers to
work on creating an appropriate land to establish the country of La illah illa Allah (There is No
god but Allah) on this earth, the country of Imam al-Mahdi pbuh and right and justice in a time
which was overshadowed by injustice in every part of the world. The American tyrant narrows
down day after day on the vulnerable people and walks the people of the earth towards the
abyss. The tyrants that are authoritative over the Islamic nation are worshippers of this tyrant,
which nothing on this earth is identical to his history of humanity, because they are partners
with him in the worshipping of Satan. Furthermore, the Muslim nations which are the most
vulnerable nations in the world, are suffering the two cases:
First: from the defeat of the American tyrant and the dominating tyrants.
And second: from the tyrants that are found inside the Islamic frame I mean some of
the non-working religion scholars that claim to represent Islam actually, some of them may
have even underestimated these nations and found many followers for him, to teach them
calmness, submission and surrender to the tyrants. Thus, oppression, hunger and humiliation.
Therefore, it is a continuous war at home and abroad. A disbelieving enemy hits
continuously, a hypocrite eating away at the inside, Pharaoh and Samaritan, Pilate and the nonworking scholars of the children of Israel.
From the tyrants side, theyre waging a relentless war against the religion. Their
television displays ayahs from the holy Quran, then after that in a little while, songs, semi-naked
women and a series designed to dismantle the infrastructure of the Islamic community or to
lessen what is left from the structure of the Islamic community. To have a flying beard and a
long moustache just like the Magi in the ancient times, this is Islam in the sight of those people.
However, whoever says La Illah Illa Allah (There is no god but Allah) is killed, their women are
insulted and his house gets destroyed.
The major disaster is that some of them claim that they are Arabs and they do this in the
name of Arabism. They attack women, violate reputations and their prisons are full of women
and children. The situation is that the Arab man is noble, if he opposes, he opposes men, and
doesnt attack women. So what Arabism do those Roman remains of the Mongols and the
Tatars claim? They have blackened the face of humanity. They have committed shameful crimes
and scandals called the forehead of Pharaoh and Nimrod (Allah Curse Them) the friends of
Moses and Abraham (pbut).
On the other hand, there is the Samaritan (non-working scholar) that always tries to
make the law of Allahs Prophet go astray. He doesnt try to promote virtue and prevent evil,
neither the jihad for the sake of Allah by tongue, or by hand, if possible. He forgot that the
Messenger of Allah pbuhap said, what means: (For the Promotion of Virtue and prevention of
evil or they will use your sinners on you then they will ask for your choice and they will not be
answered) 1
Furthermore, is there worse than the tyrants domineering on the Islamic nation today?
The results are available and it is necessity that the premises are found still to this very day.
Then the cause of tyrant oppression on the Islamic community today is: leaving these
communities for the promotion of virtues and the prevention of evil. The reason for leaving this
duty for these communities is: the non-working scholars have left the promotion of virtues and
the prevention of evil (if the scholar becomes immoral, the world becomes immoral).
Even, established today in the hearts of many Muslims, the roots of humiliation and
submission and surrender to the tyrant. Also, the love of this world, the love of life, and the fear
of death in an abnormal way. They have started to see life with humiliation better than death
with splendour. This way, Islam will be hung and will find the resulting standards upside down.
This is the most thing that Satan (may Allahs curse be on him) wants, the Islamic nations to
remain vulnerable and static between a rock and a hard place, or in other words, between the
Pharaoh and Samaritan. Between an immoral tyrant that kills and plunders, and between and
non-working religion scholar that doesnt promote virtues and prevent evil, and behind the
scenes, the fingers of the American tyrant moves the strings left and right. In this way, nothing
will be left from Islam except its name.
The duty of the scholars nowadays is to address the reformation of the Islamic nation.
Their duty is to lift the weight of the message that they fought to lift. You O students of
religious sciences, and Muslim scholars (Shiite and Sunni), do you think that all you are charged
for is the collection of mental sciences and transportation, without working and without the
promotion of virtues and the prevention of evil within what you are charged for, which is
repairing the nation, reporting and warning its children and jihad for Allahs sake dearly?!
If this is what you think, then the truth I say to you, You are wrong.
The collection of mental sciences and transportation is not difficult, but what is difficult
is to give your food three days to a prisoner, a wayfarer, a poor person, and sleep while youre
hungry. Just like what Imam Ali pbuh did, it is difficult 2. To live your life for the sake of the
happiness of others and to remove injustice from them, it is difficult. To give for the sake of
Allah just like Imam al-Hussain pbuh gave for the sake of Allah, it is difficult.
Peace be upon you O Abu Abdullah, my father and mother are redemption to you, you
gave everything and didnt leave anything, even the infant and women. You didnt leave an
excuse for any coward.

O you gentlemen, if you werent able to collect knowledge and acts of worship, then in
this way, you have given the tyrants all that they want. To turn you into redundant slaves, not a
knowledgeable person. The character of the worshipper cannot be built on a scholar that
doesnt promote virtues and doesnt prevent evil; this indicates the meaning that was reported
about the infallibles pbut that a knowledgeable person is better than seventy worshippers. This
is because the knowledgeable persons main concern is the salvation of people, but the
worshippers main concern is the salvation of his soul.
It was narrated on Imam al-Sadiq (pbuh) has said: (the narrator of our speech that draws
the heart of our Shiites is better than one-thousand worshippers) 1.
Allah the Almighty said: { And it was not [for] the believers that they go forth all
together. So if not, then a party from every group among them go forth that they may obtain
understanding in the religion, and that they may warn their people when they return to them,
so that they may beware} 2. To warn their people not to sleep Or warn one or two
individuals. So if your main concern, O gentlemen, is the salvation of your soul, dont say (we
are students of religious studies) or (scholars), and dont wear their clothes to trick the people.
Dont be wolves wearing the skin of lambs, just like the case of many people nowadays, because
this is not the issue of requesting this world, neither is it the issue for venting desires or
spending time. It is an issue of lifting heavy weights, the message of the infallible prophets pbut,
so be cautious, otherwise its the loss of this life and the hereafter.
Jesus pbuh said: (the appalling scholars are like a rock that fell on the mouth of a river, it
doesnt drink, and neither does it let the water set off to the plants) 3
In the year 1971, when Mr. al-Khumayni (may Allahs mercy be upon him) was in Najaf
and his students were waiting for him for a lesson about self-control, his honour started with
the saying, I feel that I have to remind the gentlemen of some of the occasions which involve
the troubles of the Muslims. Then he said, and now, do you want me to talk about the
ethics!? We will not be polite unless we think about these matters and if we were polite, we
wouldve thought about the situations.
So to the non-working scholars I say, You offer your work on the legacy of the prophets
and messengers. All praise is due to Allah for the Quran which is between our hands today and
of which includes enough of their stories pbut, and you will find your legacy violating theirs
completely, either you work by the legacy of the prophets and messengers, or move away from
this path. So dont be standing in the way to Allah the Almighty, as what the Prince of
Believers pbuh said.
1
And I tell you what Jesus pbuh said to the arrogant and non-working Jewish scholars:
(But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in
people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in.) 1
Wake up before your soul is destroyed by what it earns and before a day comes when
you will say our anguish on what we have neglected from the side of Allah.
The roots of Islam and Muslims today are being exposed to total destruction and you
want me to sit down and talk to you about self-control?!
Wake up before the sword of the son of Fatima pbuh emerges from its sheath, and at
that time you will regret what you have done that has put you today in a trench corresponding
to him. Wake up and admit your obscene wrongdoings because shame is better than entering
the fire of hell.
At the same time, I am extreme at the hands of the Mujahidin and active scholars that
are disinterested in this world, their outside directs you to their inside. The ones that work day
and night to spread the word of La Ilaha Illa Allah (There is no god but Allah) and to spread
justice in the Islamic community. Even though they are very few as what Imam alSadiq pbuh said 2.
Allah will bless their work and makes it full of good, Allah willing. So do not become
weak or harasses, and you are the high ones Allah willing. Blessings are on the ones who are
known in the sky and are unknown in the earth, with so many work and very few in their hands.
I ask Allah to make me from their slaves and make me from within their clique, with so much of
my ignorance, lack of knowledge and little action in return to his grace and mercy and tender
giving.
This is only because I wanted to repair what I can, supplicating to the Live One that never
dies to be from the ones that do not fear from Allah the blame of a blamer. I compromise and
put my trust in Allah alone. He is my protector, he protects the righteous ones, and I take refuge
in Allah from shame in this world and in the hereafter.
I entrench on the owner of the Wealth and Kingdom, and rely on the owner of the
Ability and Might, and I ask for help from the owner of the splendour and theology, from all
that I am afraid and aware of. By Muhammad and Ali and Fatima and al-Hassan and alHussain and Ali and Muhammad and Ali and Jafar and Musa and Ali and Muhammad and Ali
and al-Hassan and Muhammad pbut and praise be to Allah alone.
In the name of Allah, the Most-Gracious, Most- Merciful {And when your Lord called
Moses, Go [to] the people [who are] wrongdoers, [The] people of Pharaoh. Will they not

fear? He said, My Lord! Indeed, fear that they will deny me. And my breast straightens and
my tongue does not express well, so send for Aaron. And they have a crime against me, so I
fear that they will kill me. He said, Nay, go both of you with Our signs. Indeed, We [are]
with you, listening.} 1

Iblis Vows
Allah said: {And when your Lord said to the angels, Indeed, I am creating a human
being [out] of clay from black mud altered. So, when I have fashioned him and breathed into
him of My spirit, then fall down to him prostrating. So the angels prostrated all of them
together, except Iblis. He refused to be with those who prostrated. He said, O Iblis! What [is]
for you that you are not with those who prostrated? He said, I did not prostrate to a human
whom You created of clay from black mud altered. He said, Then get out of it, for indeed,
you [are] expelled. And indeed, upon you the curse till [the] Day [of] Religion. He said, O my
Lord! Then give me respite till [the] Day they are raised. He said, Then indeed you, [are] of
the ones given respite. Till the Day [of] the time well-known. He said, My Lord! Because You
misled me, surely, I will make fair-seeming to them in the earth and I will mislead them all,
except the ones who are sincere among Your slaves. He said, This [is] the straight way to Me.
Indeed, My slaves, you have no authority over them, except those who follow you of the ones
who go astray.} 1
Allah the Almighty created Adam pbuh and commanded the angels to prostrate down to
him. This prostration was practical recognition of the virtue of Adam on the angels pbut. This
entity was made to suit its concern and its world, and this prostration wasnt to the body of
Adam pbuh but rather it was to his reality and soul, rather in which the reality of Muhammad,
the closest veil and the full human. Through this, he went to the Live One that never dies. Allah
did not command them to prostrate only after he overflows the perfect picture on Adams
material and after he breathes into him from his soul. It was narrated in a hadith about the
Prophet Muhammad pbuh what means: (Allah has created Adam in His image) 2, and the image
of Allah in this hadith is metaphoric as stated in the Quran (Hand of Allah) or in other words, the
Power of Allah the Almighty. Furthermore, Adam pbuh, or the man that is able to collect the
divine perfections as much as possible for the possible, or say the one created, and if
Adam pbuh didnt reach the (distant) two bows' length or even nearer (Qab qawsayn aw adnaa),
then the purist, the Mustafa, Muhammad pbuh, from his (Adams) progeny reached it. Then
Iblis (may Allahs curse be on him) turned to some part of this fact, but he became rebellion and
didnt prostrate with the angels and he eternized to earth. So he beheld Adams material which
his body was created from and he measured it by the energy of the fire which he was created
from. He then worked out that the energy is more upstanding than the material and he
overlooked on Adam pbuh and his closeness to Allah. Iblis then fell into the abyss with his great
knowledge and his long worshipping. That is because he wasnt a sincere worshipper to Allah,
but he was a sincere worshipper to himself and all he wanted by his worshipping is to be in a
high status.
1
2
From here, the test, which was to prostrate to Adam pbuh was a disaster to him and a
lightning bolt which hit him on the head and he envied Adam pbuh. If represented for your mind
you would have found him at that time saying: (After all this time of worshipping, Allah creates a
worshipper better than me, in the best case, and at a point, he becomes higher and angels
wont have his degree?!) This veil prevented him from seeing the reality of Adam and started
looking for an excuse to prevent him from prostrating, an excuse that will convince himself and
make him argue with his Lord.
However, Allahs reply to him wasnt other than expulsion and damnation because he
was from the ones that denied it and made it certain, injustice and altitude 1. Allah said: {That,
the Home [of] the hereafter, We assign it to those who [do] not desire exaltedness in the
earth nor corruption. And the good end for the righteous} 2
Iblis (may Allahs curse be on Him) wasnt an ignorant one that knows, neither was he
insubordinate and can be reprimanded and disciplined. He was an arrogant and bumptious
tyrant and a knower which doesnt deter. He got himself in the unwillingness to this new
creature and he made this be the reason for his expulsion from Allahs mercy and he took him
and his descendants as enemies. This is why he asked for the attention and time till the Day of
Resurrection so he could deceive the people from the right path. But Allah the Almighty gave
him time till the Appointed Time and the cursed the one promised to derail the son of Adam
from the right path: {He said, Because You have sent me astray, surely I am sitting for them
[on] Your straight path. 17 Then surely, I am coming to them from before them and from
behind them and from their right and from their left, and You do not find most of them
grateful.} 3
The Appointed Time is the day when Imam al-Mahdi pbuh will rise, where it was
narrated in a hadith about Ashaq ibn Ammar once said: I asked him (Imam al-Mahdi pbuh)
about when Allah the Almighty reprieved Iblis till an appointed time, and he mentioned it in His
Holy book: {He said, Then indeed you, [are] of the ones given respite. Till the Day [of] the
time well-known.} 4. He pbuh said : (The Appointed Day is the day of the Rising of the Imam,
so when Allah will send him, He will be in the mosque of al-Kufa. Iblis will come and fall down on
his knees prostrating and he will say: Woe is to me from this day! He will then hold his forelock
and hit his neck. That is the appointed day when he will be out for it) 5
In the Gospel, it is said about Satan will be chained up in the Minor Resurrection, or in
other words, in the time of the rising of Imam al-Mahdi pbuh. It came in the vision of John: ( 1
Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless
pit and a great chain. 2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and
1
2
Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed
it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were
ended. After that he must be released for a little while) 1
It was said about Ibn Tawoos (may Allahs mercy be upon him) that he said: I have found
in Idriss pbuh papers at the remembrance of Iblis and Allahs answer to him (He said my Lord
reprieve me till the day that they are raised. He said no, but you are reprieved till the appointed
day. It is the day that I eliminated and necessitated that I will cleanse the ground that day from
disbelief, shirk and sin. At that time, I elected worshippers for me. I tested their hearts for faith
and filled them with devotion and certainty and sincerity, piety, humility, truthfulness,
forbearance and patience, reverence and fear and asceticism in this world, and the desire in me,
and let them be advocates of the sun and the moon and make them the successors in this
world, and make them have their religion that you accepted for them, then they will worship
me and not associate any other with me. They pray at the right times and give zakat to people,
they promote virtues and prevent evil. At that time I will give the secretariat on the earth,
nothing will do harm to anything and nothing will be afraid of anything. There will be vermin
and livestock between people and none of them will harm the other. I will remove every single
sting from the vermin and others. I will remove the poison from everything that bites and I will
send down blessings from the sky and the ground. The earth will bloom by its good flora and all
kinds of fruits and fragrances will emerge. I will place compassion and mercy between them,
then they will condole and equally share and they will dispense with the poor. None of them will
go higher than the other, the big ones will have mercy over the little ones and the little ones will
dignify the big ones. They will condemn the right therewith and govern.
Those are my people, I chose for them a prophet which is an honest one. I made him a
prophet and a messenger for them, and I made them advocators and people for him. That is a
nation which I chose for them my prophet and my honest one. That is a time which I have veiled
in my unseen knowledge and there is no doubt that it is actual. I will wipe you away that day
and your horses, men and all of your soldiers. Go, and you are reprieved till the appointed
time) 2.
This is the story of Iblis, the worshipping knower, that fell in the abyss, his arrogance
made him fall astray. In it, is a lesson for a learner and a memory to remember. Where are the
learners and where are the rememberers?!
The Prince of Believers pbuh said: (Consider what was from the act of Allah to Iblis when
He thwarted his long work and dedicated effort. He worshipped Allah for six thousand years; its
not known either the world years or the hereafter years and all this went from arrogance one
time. So who is it after Iblis does such a sin against Allah? No, Allah wont allow a human to
enter Paradise in a command by which he took an angel out of it for. Allahs ruling for the
people of the skies and the people of the earth is the same. Allah doesnt relent with someone
who has done haram.

Revelation 20:1-3
Bihar Al-Anwar Chapter 52:385
So beware, O worshippers of Allah, that his disease will infect you, and he provokes you
with his lowliness and makes you go to him by the help of his horses and men. He has made the
arrow of Allahs threat (disobedience of Allah) a normal thing for you, and he threw you from
a nearby place. He said: {He said, My Lord! Because you misled me, surely, I will make [evil]
fair-seeming to them in the earth and I will mislead them all} 1, And seek refuge in Allah
from the inoculation of arrogance, just like you seek refuge in Him from the misfortunes of life.
If Allah allows one of his worshippers to be arrogant, he would have let His special
prophets and people they were vulnerable people. Allah has tested them by hungriness and
poorness, and plagued them by the stressful things. He also tested them in the concerns, and
agitated them with difficulties. Moses, the son of Imran, once entered with his brother
Harun pbut on Pharaoh wearing ironclads made out of wool and the stick in their hands. They
gave him two choices, if he becomes a Muslim, he will stay a king and his wealth will always be
with him. So he said: Arent you surprised when these two give me a choice of staying a king
and keeping my wealth, and they are, as you can see, in a case of poverty and humiliation? Why
didnt their god give them bracelets made out of gold if they were really the truth. (Giving gold
great importance, and disrespecting wool and wearing it), so be careful from the urgency of
hurting someone, and taking your time and severe injustice, and the bad consequence of
arrogance as it is the major trap for Iblis, and his main trick that wraps around the hearts of men
just like the way poison wraps around the whole body. It never becomes tired; neither does it
leave anyone, not a scholar for his knowledge, not even a poor person with his one clothing.
Allah the Almighty didnt curse the people that were before you, in front of you (in the Quran),
he cursed them because they didnt promote virtues and didnt prevent evil. Allah cursed the
fools for riding sins and the tolerant ones for not preventing evil. You have exceeded the bind of
Islam and have broken its rules and finalized the rulings. And I am surely from a nation that
doesnt take them from Allah the blame of a blamer. The marks on their bodies are the marks of
the truthful ones, and their speech is the speech of best of the chosen ones. They stay awake at
night and pray during the day to heighten their good deeds. They are very fixed to the rope of
the Quran; they make the Sunnah of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger come to life. They
dont become proud, they dont try to rise, they dont cheat and they dont corrupt their hearts
by insanity and their bodies by work) 2

chosen to just summarize and point this out, there is nothing wrong with clarifying a little bit
more lest Allah will bless me with a dua from whomever is reading these words.
And know O my beloved believers that the first creation is the intellect, and it is the first
spiritual world and it is the complete world, the creations in it are all consumed in one another
and are not inconsistent to one another. And its inhabitants are on the highest level of the
divine worlds of Allah swt, and it is a rank specialized for Muhammad and Ali (pbut).
Muhammad (pbuh) {While he [was] in the horizon - the highest. Then he approached
and came down, And was a distance [of] two bow-[lengths] or nearer.} 1 and Ali (pbuh) is his
self, Allah says: {Then whoever argues [with] you concerning it from after what came to you of
the knowledge then say, Come, let us call our sons and your sons, and our women and your
women, and ourselves and yourselves, then let us pray humbly, and invoke the curse [of]
Allah on the liars.} 2, and Ali is touched with the essence of Allah as we were told by him
(pbuh) 3, and below is all ranks, they (pbut) surround and know all what is below them, and all
that is below them take their knowledge from them each according to his rank and nobody fully
knows them except their Creator, as also nobody knows Allah swt more than them according to
the human capacity of knowing Allah.
The meaning of this has been narrated by the owner of the Blessed rank (pbuh): (O Ali nobody
has known Allah except for me and you, and nobody has known me except for Allah and you,
and nobody has known you except for Allah and me) 4.
As for the second world it is the world of Malakut, it is the world of ideal images, it is the
world of the souls close to what the sleepers see. That is because the sleeper loses awareness of
the physical presence and focuses on his presence in the Malakut, and you can say the ideal or
the spiritual.
As for the third world it is the physical world, and it is a world close to nothingness which
has no fate for existence except its viability for existence, and it is the lowest rank you can
reach. If an image was given to a material it becomes a body, and it is the first stages of
ascension or descension, and also the bodies are divided each according to its existing ranks
from inanimate, plants, animals, and humans, and the human can either ascend and go back to
his Lord, so he glorifies Allah in the world of the intellect and is close to Allah, or he can degrade
himself and turn away from his Lord, and does not see anything but the material that nothing
can be known by it and no knowledge can be gained by it except by giving it its perfect image,
and this way he becomes like cattle and even worse; because he was born to go back to Allah

but he turned back, and was born to gain wisdom but chose ignorance, and was born to live but
chose death.
Abu Abdullah (pbuh) said: (Allah the Almighty created the intellect and it is His first
creation of the spiritual by the right of his throne of His light, and He said to it, turn away so it
turned away then He said to it come back so it came back. So Allah swt said I have created you
with a great creation and I have favoured you over all of my creations, he said: then He created
ignorance from a briny dark ocean, so He said to it turn away so it turned away, then He said to
it come back and it did not come back, and He said to it you have chosen arrogance so my curse
is upon you ) 1.
As for the intellect, the full intellect is Muhammad (pbuh) and his successor Ali (pbuh);
because he is his self as shown in the verse and ourselves and yourselves 2. As for the ignorance,
the full ignorance is the second one, and it is the starting point of arrogance, and it is what
made Iblis go astray and cast him to hell. Iblis (l.a) says: {rabbi bima aghwaytani} 3, in other
words with what you have mislead me with, or with ungratefulness to what caused my
misleading. And he is described as ungrateful in this verse; because he is dark with no identity to
him, and the ( )is used for (the unwise); because he has no wisdom.

As such for the sons of Adam (pbuh) whoever elevates by worshipping and by attaining
complete manners, until he reaches the 2 bows or less, then he is at a rank of teaching the
spiritual and the close Angels, and he is the complete human i.e. Muhammad (pbuh), as Adam
(pbuh) taught the Angels what they did not know before, the Prince of the Believers (pbuh)
says: (The human was created with a speaking soul, whoever purifies it with knowledge and
work then it starts to resemble the jewels of its first cause,
4
).

And of the sons of Adam whoever casts himself in hell, then he glorifies in the dark briny
ocean some of it over the other, if he raises his hand he will not be able to see it, until he
becomes darkness with no light, and ignorance with no wisdom, and trouble with no stability to
him, and fear with no tranquillity in him, and no serenity descends on him. He is not eager to
gain the mercy of Allah and is hopeless to the spirit of Allah even though Iblis (l.a), when the day
of judgement comes he will be eager for the mercy of Allah it is mentioned, Allah says: {And
when Satan made their deeds fair-seeming to them and he said, None from the people
overcome you today and indeed, I am a neighbour for you. But when the two forces came in
sight he turned away on his heels and said, Indeed, I am free of you. Indeed, I see what you
do not see, indeed, I fear Allah. And Allah [is] severe [in] the penalty.} 5.

Those with their filthy and arrogant selves have inspired the jinn satans with their
adorned speech. The jinn satan takes and learns from the human satan, Allah says: {And thus
We made for every prophet an enemy satans from mankind and jinn, inspiring some of
them to others with decorative speech in deception. But if your Lord had willed, they would
not have done it, so leave them and what they invent.} 1
And Al-Haruri said:
I was a child from the soldiers of Iblis until I elevated then Iblis became from my soldiers
so if he dies before me then I am better after him methods of lechery none is better than
be in it 2.
And there is still one thing for a questioner to ask, didnt the disbelievers create the
plane and other advanced technologies with their minds?! The answer: Abu Abdullah (pbuh)
was asked about what was with Muawiya so he (pbuh) said: (Such awfulness such mischief, it
resembles the mind but it is not the mind) 3. So each person has a share in the Malakut world,
his share is himself as the ideal image and the shadow of mind, and this shadow is the power of
knowing and the power of speech that is endowed within the heavens. Silent animals join us in
it but the mirror of the human is more clear, the rise of the mind on himself is more clear and
radiant, so his chance in this shadow is greater. And whoever follows up with the world of the
animals will know that some animals have the ability to invent some instruments, as was shown
by some of the alive scientists. And as an example the beaver creates embankments to raise the
depth of the water, so the human is not better than the animal unless he looks into this shadow
to see the truth and the mind, and to walk in this path to perfect his worship and his
thankfulness and his good morals, but if he was satisfied with this shadow then he is like cattle,
i.e. like the silent animals, and if he degraded himself with bad morals then he is worse than
cattle 4.
And all thanks to Allah alone , and we have not been given of knowledge except a little,
O Allah bestow your mercy upon me and the believers you are my Master in this world and the
hereafter.

Provisions
Correct Beliefs:
Believing in the existence of a Creator, and Unifying Him ([meaning Monotheism]), and
believing in His Prophets and Messengers and their Vicegerents (a.s), and in the Justice and
ordainment [of God] and predestination/fate and Bidaa' and Heaven and Hell, and the
infallibility of the Successors of Allah (a.s) in His Land, and the Angels, and the Unseen, and all
that which the Prophets and Messengers and their Vicegerents (a.s) have informed about. And
we do not have except that we hold tight to their tails and follow their footsteps. He, The
Exalted, said: {If you love Allah , then follow me, [so] Allah will love you} 1
Zurarah said: Abu Abdullah (a.s) was asked about the beginning of reproduction from
Adam; how was it, and [how was] the beginning of reproduction from the progeny of Adam, for
people among us say that Allah the Almighty inspired to Adam to marry his daughters to his
sons, and that all of this creation originates from brothers and sisters.
So Abu Abdullah (a.s) said: "Allah is far more Exalted than that! Who said that Allah the
Almighty created the best of His creation and His beloved ones and His Prophets and His
Messengers and the believing men and the believing women and the Muslim men and the
Muslim women from Haram (forbidden act)?!!! [Who said] He did not have the ability to
create them from Halal (permissible act)?!!! Verily, Allah has taken their covenant upon good
purified chasteness. By Allah I have come to know that one of the animals' sisters was
concealed from him, then when he fell upon her and dropped she was exposed for him. So
when he knew that she was his sister, he pulled out his private part and held tight on it with
his teeth until he cut it, so he fell down dead. And another animal his mother was concealed
from him so he did the exact same thing! So how about [when it comes] to a human being
[considering] his human nature and preference and knowledge! [There is] a generation from
this creation - that you see - [who] wished for knowledge of the People of the House of their
prophets, and they took [knowledge] from where they were not commanded to take from, so
they ended up in what you see of misguidance and ignorance of knowledge [like] how were
the past matters since the beginning of Allah's creation, and that is impossible.,
Then he said: Woe to those! Where are they from that which the jurisprudents of the
people of Hijaz and the jurisprudents of the people of Iraq do not differ about, that Allah the
Almighty commanded the pen, so it ran upon ([meaning it wrote down upon) the Safeguarded
Board all what shall happen until the Day of Resurrection, [that was] before creating Adam by
two thousand years. And all the books of Allah in which the pen ran, include the forbiddance
of sisters to the brothers, along with [all] that which was made Haram (forbidden). And we
see these four popular books in this world: Torah, Gospels, Zabur, and Furqan, Allah has sent
1
them down from the Safeguarded Board upon His Messengers (a.s), from them were the
Torah upon Moses, Zabur upon David, The Gospels upon Jesus, and the Qur'an upon
Muhammad, and upon the Prophets (a.s), and those books never made it Halal [for the sisters
and brothers to marry]). I say that whoever said that or the likes of that never wanted
anything except that they may strengthen the arguments of the Magi. What is their matter!
May Allah fight them ...) 1
So all praises belong to Allah Who has exposed them and put them to shame by their
ignorance and stubbornness against the truthful ones of the Family of Muhammad (a.s), for
they made the Prophets (a.s) children of adultery, and far away they are from that! So Allah
blackened the face of every person who stood against the truthful ones of the Family of
Muhammad (a.s) and claimed to know the Sunnah of the Messenger and the Muhkam (clear
and precise verses) and the Mutashabih (allegorical verses) of The Book, and appointed
themselves as Imams calling towards hell fire in the matters of religion, just as the Umayyads
and the Abbasids and those who followed them regarding worldly matters did. Their followers
do not have any excuse remaining today except either stubbornness and arrogance, or that they
say "it is a goat even if it flies"!([meaning that they remain stubborn and insist on their opinion
even if it is clearly wrong])
The pillar of beliefs in which one must believe is what came in the end of the Chapter of
the Cow (Surat Al-Baqarah, Chapter 2 from Qur'an), and it is what the Prophet (sawas) has
believed in and that is:
Believing in Allah and the Angels and the Divine Books and the Messengers, whether
they were Prophets or Vicegerents or any messenger from Allah (swt), even if he was a
messenger for a worldly leadership only like Talut (Saul) (a.s).
So it is obligatory upon every Muslim to believe in Allah, The One, The Indivisible, The
Single, The Everlasting, and to believe in the Prophethood of Muhammad (sawas) and to believe
in the Angels and the Books and the previous Prophets and their Vicegerents and their
Jurisprudence and to respect their jurisprudence even if they were abrogated [later]; because it
was once the jurisprudence of Allah on this Earth. And it is upon the Muslim to believe in the
Twelve Vicegerents (a.s) of the Prophet Muhammad (sawas), and to believe all that is proven to
have been narrated from them (a.s). Also the Muslim must believe that the twelfth Vicegerent
from the Vicegerents of Muhammad (sawas) is Imam Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan Al-Mahdi (a.s),
and he is alive being provided sustenance until today, and he shall rise by the sword just as his
grandfather (sawas) rose. And it is upon the Muslim to take him as a leader and call towards him
and to put him forth before his self and money and son, and he must work to raise his word and
show his matter and the injustice he has been through and prepare for his (a.s) state, and be
enemies with his enemies from the leaders of tyranny who are dominating over this nation and
their disbelieving helpers and soldiers who went out from the Wilayah of Allah to the Wilayah of
1
Iblis the cursed. And it is upon the believer that he does not fear their number nor their
equipment.
He, The Exalted, said: {And they plotted a plot: and We plotted a plot, while they
perceived not * Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily! We destroyed them and their
people, all together * So those are their houses, desolate/empty because of the wrong they
had done. Indeed in that is a sign for people who know} 1
Provisions:
As for the provisions, they are a group of legislations that Prophets and Messengers (a.s.)
bring from Him Almighty, and that He assigns/commands the servants with it, and maybe some
of them were cancelled and changed or some other legislations were added, with time,
according to the knowledge of the wise, who is expert in what can reform the case of servants
and the country in each time, and it is not valid to cancel, change or to add, except by sending
an infallible warner who speaks in the Name of Allah and works with His order. And whomever
seeks beyond that, he has strayed far astray, and if we look in the Divine Sharae (Jurisprudence)
and Divine Provisions we will find that its application is him (a.s.), and he is the only reformer of
the souls, bodies, country and economy, so whomever legislated or changed and cancelled or
added in the Sharia without being from those infallibles who speak in the Name of Allah, then
he pretended/claimed to be a god and the creation has to worship him, and if he did not
announce/admit that in his words then Quran has declared that Jews were worshiping their
scholars and monks as lords besides Allah; because they were making halal for them haram, and
making haram for them halal, and they obey them, from Abi Jafar a.s. in the interpretation of
His Almighty saying: {They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah} 2, he
a.s. said, As for their scholars and monks, they have obeyed them, and they have took their
words and followed what they ordered them, and they have took as a religion what they have
called them for, so they took them as gods by obeying them, and leaving what Allah, His
books and messengers ordered, so they rejected it (the order) behind their backs, and they
followed what the scholars and monks ordered them and they obeyed them and disobeyed
Allah, but He mentioned this in our book so that we take a lesson from them... 3.
So each belief that human believes, if he does not take it from an infallible who brought
it [the belief] from Allah, then it is a worship without Allah, and every legitimate [Shari]
judgment that human takes as a worship, if he does not take it from an infallible who brought it
from Allah, it is then worshiping that person who issued fatwa (opinion concerning Islamic law
issued by an Islamic scholar) and legislated; because he claimed being a god, where the
1
2
infallibles themselves do not have except for transmitting the legitimate [Shari] judgment from
Allah.
Imam As-Sadiq a.s. said in his famous letter to shia: (O you the gang, who had the mercy
of Allah and succeeded, Allah has completed for you what came to you from good, and know
that it is not from the knowledge of Allah neither from His order that anyone, from the
creation of Allah, take in his religion according to his own whim, opinion and measures, and
Allah has descended the Quran and had made in it a clarification of all things. And has made a
people for the Quran and to learn the Quran, and the people of knowledge of the Quran,
whom Allah gave His knowledge to them, cannot take in it [knowledge of Allah] according to
their own whim, opinion and measures, Allah has enriched them from that by what He gave
them from His knowledge which specified them. And the fact that, it [the knowledge of
Quran] is put on them is a Blessing from Allah that He blessed them with, and they are the
people of knowledge whom Allah ordered this nation to ask (them), and they are the ones,
whomever ask them- and it was preceded in the knowledge of Allah to believe and follow
them- they guide him, and give him from the knowledge of the Quran what he can be guided
with, to Allah with His permission, and to all paths of the truth, and they are the ones whom
no one can go out from them and from their matters and knowledge -with what Allah has
blessed them and made it with them - So whomever, in the knowledge of Allah, suffering in
the origin of the creation has defeated them, under the shade, they are those who walk away
from asking the people of knowledge - whom Allah has gave the knowledge of the Quran and
put it on them and ordered to ask them - and they are those who take according to their own
whims, opinions and measures until Shaytan entered them; because they made, people of
faith in the knowledge of the Quran, in Allah, disbelievers, and made, people of misguidance
in the knowledge of Quran, in Allah, believers, and they even made, in many matters, what
Allah made Halal - Haram, and they made, in many matters, what Allah made Haram - Halal.
So that is the fruit of their own whims, and the messenger of Allah sawas. has
commanded them before his death and they said: We, after Allah took His messenger, can
take from what the opinion of people is gathered upon after Allah has took his messenger
sawas., and after his covenant which he commanded us and ordered us with. Opposing Allah
and His messenger sawas., no one dare [the most] to Allah, neither clearest in misguidance
than the one who took/worked on that, and pretended that he is capable of that.
By Allah, Allah has upon His creation [a duty] to obey Him and follow His order in the
life of Muhammad sawas. and after his death. And can those, who are enemies of Allah,
pretend that someone from those who accepted Islam with Muhammad sawas. took [his
religion] according to his own words, opinion and measures? So if he said: Yes, then he lied on
Allah and strayed a far astray. And if he said: No, then no one can take his opinion, whim or
measures, because he acknowledged the proof upon himself. And he is from the ones who
pretend/claim that the order of Allah is obeyed and followed after the death of the
messenger of Allah sawas., and Allah said and His saying is the truth: {Muhammad is only a
messenger; and many a messenger has gone before him. So what if he dies or is killed! Will
you turn back and go away in haste? But he who turns back and goes away in haste will do no
harm to God. But God will reward those who give thanks (and are grateful).} 1 So that you
know that the order of Allah is obeyed and followed in the life of Muhammad sawas., and
after Allah took Muhammad sawas., and like no one, from the people with Muhammad
sawas., should have taken [his religion] according to his own whim, opinion and measures,
contrary to the order of Muhammad sawas., then also no one, from the people after
Muhammad sawas., should have taken [his religion] according to his own whim, opinion and
measures) 2
So if the Imams, with their completed minds and knowledge about the Decisive/Explicit
of the book and its Allegorical, and its sent and interpretation, cannot issue fatwas, but they
transmit from Allah and His messenger sawas., so how this can be [permissible] for others, with
their lack of minds and their ignorance about the Decisive/Explicit and the Allegorical, and the
sent and the interpretation.
Imam As-Sadiq (a.s.) said to Abi Hanifa when he came to him: (O Aba Hanifa, do you
know the book of Allah a true knowledge? And do you know the Abrogating and the
Abrogated?!!! He said: yes, he a.s. said: O Aba Hanifa, you have pretended a knowledge,
Woe to you, Allah did not make this to anyone except for the people of the book which Allah
sent to them. Woe to you, and it is only with a specific ones from the descendants of our
Prophet sawas., Allah did not caused you to inherit a letter from His book, so if you were like
you say and you are not like you say, so tell me ...) 3

Almighty said: {When he had grown up to full maturity, We gave him wisdom and
knowledge. Thus do We recompense the doers of good. He came to the city when the people
were in a care-free mood, and saw two men quarrelling, one belonging to his community, the
other to his enemies. The man who belonged to his community appealed for help against the
one who belonged to the enemies. Moses struck him a blow with his fist and finished him off.
"This is of Satan's doing," he said. "He is certainly an enemy and a corrupter." "O Lord," he
prayed, "I have done wrong, forgive me." And God forgave him. Verily He is forgiving and
kind. (Moses) said: "O Lord, as You have been gracious to me I will never aid the guilty." In the
morning he came to the city, fearful and hesitant. Just then he who had asked him for help
the day before called out for help (again). "You are indeed a meddlesome fellow," Moses said
to him. Then as he was about to lay hands on the one who was their common enemy, he cried
out: "O Moses, do you want to kill me as you killed that person yesterday? You only want to
be a tyrant in the land and no peacemaker." There came a man running from the other part of
the city. "O Moses," he said, "the chiefs are deliberating to kill you. Go away from the city. I
wish you well." So he left the city, fearful and hesitant, (and) prayed: "O Lord, deliver me from
these wicked people." Then as he turned his face to Midian, he said: "Maybe my Lord will
show me the right way."} 1
Moses a.s has entered the midst of life, to find the injustice of the tyrant Pharaoh
towards the impoverished people from Bani Israel and Egyptians, and Moses a.s, the pure and
clean, and the awaited Saviour Prophet, whom Banu Israel knows, how can he stay in the palace
of Pharaoh as his helper, even by silence about his injustice and increasing his darkness? So
Allah wanted for this incident/event to happen, and that is killing one of the police of Pharaoh
and his oppressive soldiers. And this event had a great impact on the self of Moses a.s where he
resorted to the truth, seeking forgiveness from Him and repenting to Him from what he
considered as a guilt/sin, and that is his living in the palace of the tyrant Pharaoh and the father
who raised Moses a.s. And when Allah swt forgave him, he made a covenant with Allah, for
what He gave him from the grace of forgiveness, that he will not be a helper of a guilty and an
unjust, even by flattering him or being silent about his injustice. So, Moses a.s had, after this
event, to migrate to Allah, so he got out from the city fearful and hesitant, and he was absent
from Bani Israel for ten years, spending them in the land of Mudin, and living a modest and
quite life in the arms of a great Prophet, and he is Shuaib a.s, taking care of a herd of sheep and
learning a lot, to come back after that to Bani Israel as a brave Divine leader and a Prophet who
calls to Allah, and to lead the believers into escape from the violence of Pharaoh, and
oppression and abasement which they were receiving in Egypt. And Moses a.s and the believers
crossed the sea, and Allah has drowned Pharaoh and his soldiers, but after this crossing it
1
happened what happened, so Banu Israel has rebelled against the Divine orders, and disobeyed
Moses and Aaron (Harun) a.s., and after Banu Israel has refused to enter the Holy land and [has
refused] Jihad of Giants to spread the word of (There is no god except for Allah) and [has
refused] the sincere worship of Allah, Allah has enjoined on them At-Tih [Wilderness] for forty
years in the desert of Sinai, and how much Moses and Harun (a.s.) were injured during this
period, and many of them has objected Moses a.s, and underestimated him and objected Harun
and the fact that he is a Prophet and a Successor of Moses a.s. So Allah ordered them that every
leader of a tribe amongst the tribes of Banu Israel writes his name on a dry stick, and Harun
wrote his name, and Moses a.s put the sticks in the tent of meeting, and Allah wanted that the
stick, in which the name of Harun a.s was written, becomes green, in order that to be a miracle
which supports his prophecy and his right in succeeding Moses a.s. But they did not stop from
hurting Harun a.s and underestimating him, even when they made a calf and worshiped it and
(when) Harun a.s has objected them, they were about killing him along the small group which
supported the truth with him a.s, and Jews did not only do this, but they deformed/corrupted
Torah after the death of Moses and Harun (a.s.), and they wrote with their sinful hands in it
[Torah] that the one who made the calf and led Banu Israel astray is Harun a.s!!
So look at the oppression towards this great prophet Harun a.s, and compare it to the
oppression towards Ali Ibn Abi Talib a.s, such was the law of Allah and you will not find in the
law of Allah any change.
***
The trial of the Calf happened in the forty years of At-Tih (Wilderness) when Banu Israel
were lost in the desert of Sinai, as a punishment for their rebellion against the Divine orders,
and [as] a reform of what was corrupted in their selves, where Allah swt. made an appointment
of thirty nights with Moses a.s, to which He added ten more, Allah swt said : {We made an
appointment of thirty nights with Moses (On Mount Sinai) to which We added ten more; so
the term set by the Lord was completed} 1
And Allah swt. was not unaware that the term set was to complete in forty nights, and
He swt. was not lying to Moses, Almighty is far above (that), but He made an appointment of
thirty nights with him, and the ten which complete the forty were based/depending on other
thing which didnt happen yet, like Dua or charity or any other work that Moses a.s does, or
[like] a dereliction from the group of Bani Israel for which they are punished by the absence of
Moses a.s for ten more nights, so it is in the knowledge of Allah The Almighty that Moses will be
absent for forty nights, but in the Board of Erasure and Confirmation [there is] that Moses will
be absent for thirty nights, so if the such and such thing happens from Moses a.s, or [from] Bani
Israel then He will complete it for forty nights, The Almighty said: {Allah abrogates or confirms
whatsoever He will, for He has with Him the Book of Books.} 2
And this is similar to Dua of anyone of us in order that Allah pushes a calamity/scourge
away from him, or [in order] that He bestows favours on him from His mercy what He pleases,
so if the things were not changing, then Dua would be invalid and [would] become useless talk,
but Allah swt. has measured the measures, and His hands are extended, He expands to
whomever He wants, and reduces the livelihood however He wants and He is the Greatest of
the rulers, and this is Al-Bida [Allah has mentioned Al-Bida in the Quran as a Meaning and
Notion without using the word in many verses like: {...For every age there is a law. Allah
abrogates or confirms whatsoever He will, for He has with Him the Book of Books.} [Surat ArRad (13) : 38-39], the tangible reality in the all-wise reminder [Quran] which the ignorant ones
denied, and said: Allah has finished/completed everything, and they made His hands chained
and they are equal to Jews 3.
And most of the Sunni scholars have agreed with Jews on this, so they said: Allah
Almighty has completed the matter so He cannot change it! And they narrated on this many
narrations, amongst it, is what Ahmad narrated in his Musnad (Book: Musnad Ahmad): from Ibn
Umar he said: (Umar said: Messenger of Allah, is what we are taking/doing, a matter which
1
was completed/cannot be changed, or has begun, or was innovated', he (sawas.) said: As for
what was completed, work O Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, because everything is easy, so whomever
was from the people of happiness, he works for the happiness, and whomever was from the
people of misery, he works for the misery Musnad Ahmad: V2, Page 52, and remark Sahih AlBukhari: V6, Page 86, Sahih Muslim: V8, Page 48, Tafsir Ibn Kathir: V4, Page 554, and others.
So in these narrations, which are correct for them, they said Al-Jabr (a doctrine which its
followers believe that the servants are forced to their actions and do not choose in it, and they
base their actions to Allah Almighty) about Allah Almighty, like they said it about the actions of
humans! And we find that Al-Bukhari is giving responsibility to Allah about the sin of Adam a.s. It
was narrated from Abu Huraira, he said: the Messenger of Allah (sawas.) said: (Adam and Moses
argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us
and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favoured you with His
talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame
me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam
confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses) Sahih Al-Bukhari: V3, Page 131. So they denied Al-Bida
because of their ignorance about its reality. This, and there are Sunni scholars who prove AlBida like Ibn Al-Jawzya in his book Al-Jawab Al-Kafi in the section of Dua, and even if he didnt
say it verbally, he has proved the meaning whether by narrations from the Prophet sawas. or by
discussing it for the benefit of Dua (supplication).
And in those forty nights, Sameri took advantage of the absence of Moses a.s, and he
made a calf from ornaments, and Sameri has thrown on this calf a handful of soil which he took
from under the hoof of the horse of Gabriel a.s, so the image of a the calf mooed like a cow,
meaning a voice like the voice of the alive/real calf. Moses a.s said: ( Lord, the Calf is from
Sameri, so the lowing is from whom? He said: From Me Moses, because when I saw them
that they have turned away from [have left] Me to the Calf, I liked to give them more
Fitnah) 1
And Sameri said to them this is your god and the god of Moses a.s, meaning that your
God has manifested in the Calf!! And many amongst Bani Israel have believed him after they
helped him in making the Calf!!
And we should contemplate on this incident/event in the Quran and [to] study it,
perhaps Allah will give us life of the happy ones and death of martyrs, like messenger of Allah
sawas has promised us when studying/examining the Quran 2.
So if you decided, loved ones, to study this event, so come with me to wonder, who is
Sameri? And was he a scholar from the scholars of Bani Israel? And was he a hermit and
Tafsir Al-Qumi: V2 Page 62, Bihar Al-Anwar: V13 Page 210, Stories of prophets Al-Jazairi: Page 268
From Ismail Bin Abi Ziad, from Jafar Bin Muhammad from his father a.s he said: The prophet sawas said: (The
people of Quran are in higher rank than humans except the prophets and messengers, and do not impoverish the
people of Quran and their rights, because they have from Allah a place/position). Tawab Al-Amal from As-Saduq:
Page 99-100

worshiper? Where: {He said: "I saw what they did not see. I picked up a handful...} 1. It seems
from the context of the verse that he was seeing Gabriel a.s or unseen things; no one except for
him was seeing it. Then, was Sameri a struggler?
This meaning was mentioned in the interpretation of this verse: {The man who belonged
to his community appealed for help} 2, that he is Sameri, so if this is correct, Sameri would be a
struggler, the killer of the tyrants soldiers, Pharaoh in Egypt before the sending of Moses a.s3.
And who is the one who forgot? Moses a.s, meaning that he forgot/neglected his God
here and went to the mount so the speech is from the tongue of Sameri. And the truth is that
this is far [from happening], because Bani Israel know that Moses went to the mount by the
order of Allah, so the forgetful one will be Sameri, meaning he left the real faith and the True
Deity, so the speech is from Allah Almighty. And what is that, what his soul embellished to him?
The truth is that this is the origin of all Fitna (the trial), the lust, ego, Shaytan (l.a.) and gold
ornament of this world, his soul which is prone to evil embellished to him that he is better than
Harun a.s, and he rebelled against him, didnt obey his order and was arrogant, his soul
embellished to him that he is a scholar, worshipper, hermit and maybe a struggler, and some
unseen things were revealed to him, so he is more deserving of leading Bani Israel in the
absence of Moses a.s. than Harun a.s, and he envied Harun and Moses a.s, so the arrogance has
seized him, and the whim and ego beat him, and Shaytan (l.a.) wanted him in the abyss and
made him be arrogant to the great Prophets a.s like he (l.a) was arrogant to Adam a.s, so
Shaytan (l.a.) has provoked him by his call, has enticed him with his enticement and has infected
him by his disease, so the veils descended on the mirror of the soul when he bartered guidance
for error, so he was no longer seeing: {and you see them looking at you while they do not
see.} 4
And he forgot the truth and the True Deity Who is not seen by eyes and not
comprehended by delusions, so he came back to the lowest types of Shirk (polytheism), to the
resemblance. So he produced what his soul was hiding, the image of a calf which mooed like a
cow, to be a trial that a people, whom their souls have hid [the trial] before its appearance, will
rejoice, and they were made to drink the calf before it was made, so how much they opposed
Moses and Harun (a.s.), and how much they harmed Moses a.s, {And when Moses, said to his
nation: 'Why do you harm me, when you know that I am the Messenger of Allah sent to you'
But when they swerved away Allah caused their hearts to swerve. Allah never guides impious
people.} 5
1
Many of Bani Israel were seeing that they are better than Moses a.s, as for Harun a.s, he
had no weight/value for many of them, in Torah: (Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of
Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth,
sons of Reuben, took men: And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of
Israel... And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said
unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of
them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the
congregation of the LORD? And when Moses heard it, he fell upon his face: And he spake unto
Korah and unto all his company, saying, Even tomorrow the LORD will shew who are his, and
who is holy; and will cause him to come near unto him: even him whom he hath chosen will
he cause to come near unto him.) 1
(And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of
every one of them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes according
to the house of their fathers twelve rods: write thou every man's name upon his rod. And
thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for one rod shall be for the head of the
house of their fathers. And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation
before the testimony, where I will meet with you. And it shall come to pass, that the man's
rod, whom I shall choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of
the children of Israel, whereby they murmur against you. And Moses spake unto the children
of Israel, and every one of their princes gave him a rod apiece, for each prince one, according
to their fathers' houses, even twelve rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. And
Moses laid up the rods before the LORD in the tabernacle of witness. And it came to pass, that
on the morrow Moses went into the tabernacle of witness; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for
the house of Levi was budded, and brought forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and yielded
almonds. And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD unto all the children of
Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring
Aaron's rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou
shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not. And Moses did so: as the
LORD commanded him, so did he.) 2
(And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land
of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way.
And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out
of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our
soul loatheth this light bread.) 3
And like this, Sameri and his image of calf were an exit for these transgressors, to
produce what their souls have hid from hatred and envy to Moses and Harun (a.s), and
1
especially to Harun a.s, because vilifying his person a.s, and criticizing/opposing his prophecy
and leadership is easier, because Moses a.s had a big position and great status in the selves of
many of Bani Israel for what was shown from miracles through him. And like that, these
hypocrites, who followed Sameri, have impoverished Harun a.s and a group who
supported/preserved the truth with him, and they tried to kill Harun a.s, but he dealt with the
trial by the wisdom of the Prophets, and then he waited/watched until Moses a.s arrived, and
Allah gave him the victory and showed his truth/right and the judgment of the false/corrupted
doctrine and showed in its place (instead of it) the right/correct doctrine, and the truth which
Allah wants:
{Look at your god which you clung to indeed we will burn it and scatter its ashes upon
the sea' Your God is only One, Allah. There is no god, except He, alone. His knowledge
encompasses all things.} 1
Similar to Sameri
Almighty said: {And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave
[knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he
became of the deviators. And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he
adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the
dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the
people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.} 1
Bolom bin baura, is a scholar and hermit who was seeing some of the unseen, so some
of the tyrant and disbeliever kings invited him to ask evil for Moses a.s, so he asked evil for him,
knowing that Moses is a great prophet, because of his envy towards him, and knowing that, in
fact, this king is a tyrant and disbeliever in Allah, His messengers and His religion, even if he
showed [apparently] the Shahada (testifying) of There is no god except for Allah, because his
fighting against friends (Waliy) of Allah and against the religion of Allah is an indication of his
disbelieving. But Bolom Bin Baura and the likes of him, make the suspicions an excuse for their
tumbles/errors, and perhaps they make the precise/explicit - allegorical and the truth suspected, to violate the sanctity of Allah Almighty.
And in the existent Torah there is that Bolom Bin Baura did not ask evil for Moses a.s,
and what is clear is that, it is from the corruption/distortion of Jews in it, whereas in a narration
from Imam Ar-Rida a.s: That it was given to Bolom Bin Baura the greatest Name so he was
asking/making Dua by it and was answered, so he leaned towards Pharaoh and it is other
than Pharaoh of Egypt, may Allahs curse be upon them - so when Pharaoh came to call/invite
Moses a.s and his companions, Pharaoh said to Bolom ask evil from Allah to Moses and his
companions, to push him away from us, so he was riding his donkey to go invite Moses a.s, so
the donkey opposed him [didnt want to move], so he started to hit him, so Allah swt made
him speak: so he said: Woe to you, what for are you hitting me, do you want me to come with
you to ask evil for Moses a.s, the prophet of Allah and [to ask evil for] believing people, so he
kept hitting him until he killed him, so the greatest name was detached from his tongue... 2
So this is a scholar and he saw some of the unseen, so he is certain [had yaqeen], but his
certainty didnt benefit him in anything; because he leaned to the oppressive ruler and
preferred/loved exaltedness and arrogance, and he was not sincere to Allah because his soul
was hiding arrogance, love for ego and envy to the chosen friends (Waliy) of Allah!!
And when he was exposed to this divine test, he detached himself from the signs of Allah
and turned his back to it, and [he] showed his black interior and his reality was shown (a dog
1
who pants behind Dunya), but he wore the clothing of the scholar, who is worshiper and worker
for Allah, and like this Shaytan (l.a.) has seduced him and made him perish, so he was a loyal
follower of him, after he traced his steeps and followed him, whereas Shaytan (l.a.) knew a
knowledge of certitude (Yaqeen), nevertheless, he was arrogant towards Adam a.s, and rebelled
against Allah. And also this cursed one, despite of his knowledge and certitude, he envied Moses
a.s, and asked evil for him, instead of joining him, under his banner and being a follower of him,
and like that the knowledge was a reason for (Bolom Bin Baura) to be arrogant and to envy
Moses a.s!! So Bolom Bin Baura made the knowledge a curse which pushed him to the abyss,
even if it [the knowledge] is a mercy by which the ones, who work by it, reach Allah.
It was narrated from the Prophet sawas. that he said: (All scholars are perishable except
the working ones, and all the working ones are perishable except the sincere ones, and the
sincere ones are in danger) 1
And unfortunately, many consider themselves as scholars, even if they are not capable
of interpreting correctly two Surats from the Holy Quran, of what was mentioned from the
Family of Muhammad a.s, and they did not read the narrations of Ahlul Bayt a.s except for a
little, limiting mostly on some jurisprudential (Fiqh) narrations. So by what are they considering
themselves scholars, by logic which Aristotle placed thousands of years before, and maybe
there are some atheists who are more knowledgeable of it than us, or by arguments and logical
problematics/confusions and others which are free/empty of scientific or practical benefit, and
it is only a scientific luxury and waste of time 2.
Are we not narrating from the messenger of Allah sawas. what it means: (The man will
be judged in what he spent his age) 3. Doesnt Allah say in the Quran: {And when We destroy a

Today, the Shia scientific Hawza (school) set a method/approach in its religious studies based on studying the
Aristotelian logic, Greek philosophy, the assets of Jurisprudence science and science of men which are inherited
from people of Sunna, and these sciences and similar to it from mental sciences, became machines by which the
Hawza student come to know the religious divine faiths and the sub-practical judgments, so these sciences became
the ruling on the words of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad sawas, and they started to interpret their
words according to these methods which the atheists set, which led them to fall in many irregularities to the words
of Muhammad sawas and his Family a.s, and they rejected many narrations and [they] dropped it due to their
belief in this heretic method/approach. As many of rules in these sciences are taught only for scientific luxury,
because there is no practical benefit as a consequence of it, and they admit this truth/fact but they got used to this
method and [they] considered it as a sacred method which cannot be reproached, because it is, for them, the scale
of knowledge!! And the case is that it takes the student away from Ahlul Bayt a.s, so the student spend his prime of
youth in the sciences of atheists and [he] leave the scientific and spiritual wealth which the Holy Quran, the
Messenger and his Family a.s mentioned, so he does not study the Quran in Hawza nor the narrations of
Muhammad and his Family sawas, this is why you find that many Hawzawiyin (students of Hawza) did not
remember from the verses of the Quran and the narrations of Muhammad and his Family sawas except for a little.
And whoever wants to see this truth, he can do it by finding out what is taught in the scientific Hawzas.

Seikh al-Saduq narrated in Al-Khisal wa Al-ilal: from the Prophet a.s that he said in the interpretation of His saying
Almighty: {And detain them, for they will be questioned}, (the feet of a servant do not pass until he is asked
about four: about his youth in what he worked hard/strove for, and his age in what he spent it, and his money
human habitation We send Our command to (warn) its people living a life of ease; and when
they disobey, the sentence against them is justified, and We destroy them utterly.} 1
So those who sit for hours in the mosques arguing, disputing and filling the mosques
with words which are far away from the truth and guidance which Allah wants, should be
cautious.
We went far away from the path, this is why Jalut (Goliath) and the likes of him
dominated/controlled us, the messenger of Allah sawas said: (There will come a time upon my
nation when nothing will remain from the Quran except its inscription and nothing will
remain from Islam except its name. They are named by it and they are the farthest people
from it. Their mosques will be splendidly furnished but destitute of guidance. Their scholars of
that time will be the worst scholars under the sky; Fitna will come from them and to them it
shall return) 2.
The Hadith indicates/shows that even if the mosques are full of people, they are not
upon the guidance of the Family of Muhammad a.s.
And should we consider ourselves working and we are not promoting virtues and
preventing vice? Until people started to see evil as virtue and virtue as evil!! The assignment of
a scholar is reforming the nation, Almighty said: {And warn their people} 3, not an individual or
two. And unfortunately, many are those who say: people do not want religion; but they do not
pay attention that people are between the hammer and anvil, because the tyrant is preventing
the original Islamic religion to reach them, and you are not obligating upon yourselves to deliver
the religion to them under the pretext of Taqqiya (dissimulation). As-Sadiq a.s said what means:
(As for you, if you are invited to support us, Taqqiya would be more beloved to you than your
own father and mother) 4.
So the ignorant may be excused for many resources, but you, scholars of Islam, what is
your excuse?

blood with it, so if Taqqiya reached blood there is no Taqqiya, and by Allah if you are invited to support us you

your own father and mother, and if the Qaim raises he will not need to ask you about that) Tahdib Al-Ahkam: V6,

Amir Al-Muminin said in some of his sermons describing the Messenger sawas: (a roaming physician who has set
ready his ointments and heated his instruments. He uses them wherever the need arises for curing blind hearts,
deaf ears, and dumb tongues. He followed with his medicines the spots of negligence and places of perplexity.)

Talut a.s
Almighty said : {Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after
[the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight
in the way of Allah "? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was
prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we
have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was
prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the
wrongdoers. (246) And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a
king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship
than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has
chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah
gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favour] and
Knowing." And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will
come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses
and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you
are believers." And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allah will be
testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it
is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank
from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who
believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers."
But those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, "How many a small company
has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient." And
when they went forth to [face] Goliath and his soldiers, they said, "Our Lord, pour upon us
patience and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people." So they
defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the
kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for
Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but
Allah is full of bounty to the worlds. These are the verses of Allah which We recite to you, [O
Muhammad], in truth. And indeed, you are from among the messengers.} 1
After a while, Moses a.s, the Disbeliever Goliath and his soldiers dominated Bani Israel,
impoverished them and got them out of their homes, and this tyrant domination upon Bani
Israel happened because of the weakness of faith and piety, and leaving promoting virtues and
preventing vice, and surrender/tendency to the Dunya life, and left the Jihad and rebelled
against the Prophets and Divine commands. And many are the factors which led Bani Israel to
return to a state similar to their state before the dispatch of Moses a.s, and it is the state of
submission to the tyrant, for which the cure was At-Tih (Wilderness) in the desert of Sinai. So
Allah Almighty wanted that Goliath and his soldiers dominate Bani Israel, perhaps some of them
will return to their senses and repent to their Lord, and the reformatory process will happen in
1
the group of Bani Israel, like what happened in the desert of Sinai during forty years of At-Tih
(Wilderness) when a generation grew up in that desert, and lifted the word of there is no god
except for Allah to the people of the earth, and indeed, a good generation has arisen this time
amongst Bani Israel, and a divine fighter/struggler nation, and they are the three hundred
thirteen men who crossed the river with Talut, the trial with which Allah tested them to see
their commitment to the Divine commands and obedience to their prophet and to Talut the
leader appointed by Allah. And also a group grew up amongst Bani Israel who are lesser in faith
than this elite, and they are the ones who took in the hollow of their hands from the river, and it
is important that we know that the trial of river was important for testing the believers, and
showing the close ones and the people of sincerity amongst them, and it was a big [trial] where
soldiers of Bani Israel were in a state of severe thirst when arrived to the river, so the ones who
drank from the water didnt want to perish from the thirst according to their claim, so the life,
to them, was more important than obedience to Allah, but for the ones who did not drink from
the water, were seeing perdition from thirst for the obedience to Allah better than staying alive
in disobedience to Allah, rather, they were certain that Allah SWT Who prevented them from
drinking from this river, will give them in exchange better than that, and Allah SWT will not
leave them to perish from thirst. And like this we see that these three hundred thirteen men
triumphed over Goliath and his soldiers when they crossed the river.
As for those who drank from the river, they were defeated and [they] felt feebleness and
weakness when they disobeyed Allah and obeyed the whim and Shaytan (l.a.), so their saying:
(There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers) was only a foregone
conclusion and a display of defeat which their souls have hidden.
And the two armies met, the party of Allah led by Talut, and the party of Shaytan (l.a) led
by Goliath. And the army of Goliath was superior in number and preparation, and there was not
with Talut except for few believers whom didnt drink from the river and who took in the hollow
of their hands [from the river], and there was with him hypocrites who drank from the river, and
before the fight started, the divine elite and divine nation took refuge to Allah, and asked Him
for patience, stability and victory, so Allah supported them with His victory: {And you threw
not, when you threw, but it was Allah who threw} 1. So one of these sincere believers killed
Goliath, so the army was defeated and [they] turned their backs, and Shaytan (l.a.) turned on his
heels and said: {Indeed, I see what you do not see} 2, and this righteous servant who killed
Goliath was no other than David a.s whom Allah The Almighty has chosen after that and made
him a great prophet and just king, after he was a believer [who was] sincere to Allah and a brave
struggler/fighter who does not fear except for Allah {And We certainly gave David from Us
bounty. [We said], "O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]." And
We made pliable for him iron, [Commanding him], "Make full coats of mail and calculate
[precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness. Indeed I, of what you do, am
Seeing."} 3

Jesus a.s.
Almighty said : {And mention, in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew
from her family to a place toward the east. And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen.
Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well-proportioned
man. She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you
should be fearing of Allah." He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news
of] a pure boy."} 1
Allah SWT sent one of the Angels - And it was narrated to be Gabriel a.s 2 - to give
Maryam a.s the sincere pure and dedicated to Allah, a pure boy, so the Angel blew unto her a
blow which Allah wanted to be a reason for the formation of that foetus in the womb of
Maryam a.s, and she got out from the house to give birth to that blessed foetus, and she
brought him to her people as an obedience to the command of Allah, and the nascent spoke in
the cradle, so that this miracle be a sign of greatness of this nascent and the innocence of his
pure mother from the accusations of Jews, and it was narrated 3: That his mother took him to
An-Nasira or to Egypt, and then she came back to An-Nasira; to grow up there away from the
tyrant ruler Herod who wanted to kill him.
***
The sending of Jesus a.s.
The scholars of Bani Israel were loving money and Dunya, that is why people were
preoccupied with requesting Dunya and money, and they started to leave the commandments
of Prophets a.s behind their backs (If the scholar is corrupted the world is corrupted), and
everything corrupted is fixed by salt, but what if the salt is corrupted?!
And like that, it appeared in the society luxurious classes who are filled up until the
satiety, and poor persons who are starving throughout the days of the year, workers and
farmers fatigued by taxes, and even though they were working a lot, they were not eating
except for a little. A people who work and do not eat, and others who eat and do not work, and
luxurious scholars who do not care about changing those corrupt conditions/situations.
And during those cloudy atmospheres, Jesus a.s was sent to say to the people, whoever
wants to follow me let him prepare himself for death and crucifixion, it is a call for revolution.
It was narrated from him a.s that he said: (Do not fear the ones who kill the body, and
are incapable of killing the soul, but fear the One Who can take the body and soul together to
Hellfire) 1. And he a.s knew that he cannot change a lot from the corruption in that time, but
not less than making a shock in that society, rather, in the human history on this earth, and
waiting for the big results in the future, whether the near [future] after his raising to the sky, or
the far [future] after his return in the Small Judgment, meaning the time of appearance of Imam
Al-Mahdi Muhammad Ibn Al-Hasan Al-Askari a.s.
Jesus a.s was sent to Bani Israel and others, but his Law (Sharia) was copied only from
the Law of Moses a.s, and there are many reasons for this copying.
Including: some judgments/provisions were imposed upon the Jews, to suit their
situation in that time where Moses a.s was sent, until the time of sending Jesus a.s, also some
Haram things were ordered to Bani Israel because of their oppression and daring the Prophets
and disregarding their legislation, so it was lessened for them by the sending of Jesus a.s,
Almighty said: {For those who followed the Jewish Law, We forbade every (animal) with
undivided hoof, and We forbade them that fat of the ox and the sheep, except what adheres
to their backs or their entrails, or is mixed up with a bone: this in recompense for their wilful
disobedience: for We are true (in Our ordinances).} 2
And perhaps the most important reasons for copying and renewing the Law of Moses
a.s, are that the scholars of Jews changed the Law (Sharia) and make Haram what Allah made
Halal, and made Halal what Allah made Haram, in accordance with their own whims and their
mental lies, and perhaps for pleasing some of the tyrants who controlled them in certain times
like it was mentioned in some narrations 3, so Sameri came back and the Calf came back, but
1
this time with a new name and new body, Sameri came back by the scholars of Bani Israel, and
the Calf came back by corrupting/deforming the jurisprudential rules.
And even though many Prophets a.s were sent to preserve the Law of Moses a.s, and
protect it from distortion, the deviant current/flow or say, the Sameri current/flow, started to
take control of leadership and the Prophets a.s were eliminated, and [they] were expelled to the
wilderness and the wasteland, and many of them were killed before the sending of Jesus a.s,
like Zakaria a.s whom the Jews themselves killed, and Yahya a.s whom they killed by their
leaving promoting virtues and preventing vice, and submitting to the tyrant and relying on him,
so the tyrant ruler (Herod) catch Yahya a.s and imprisoned him for a time, which is not short,
before he killed him, and the scholars of Jews did nothing, rather, many of them received this
event with joy, and even if they see the unjust ruler as a tyrant and dirt, they get dirty once they
enter his palace, they did not hesitate to help him to kill one of the Prophets a.s, or the working
and striving scholars; because the Prophets, when the things are settled to them, they will not
be pleased without pulling out the tyrants and establishing the Divine government on earth, and
therefore the disappearing of the authority of tyrant and his government, and the
disappearance of the authority and position of the non-working scholars who
corrupted/deformed the Sharia (Law of Allah) and made themselves the heirs of the Prophets
and Guardians a.s, seeking for their place in the hearts people, this is why, it is natural that the
first ones who oppose Jesus a.s are the tyrants and the scholars of religion in Bani Israel, who
were claiming that they are waiting his sending to them to support him, but when he was sent
they found him saying: (My servant is my hands and my mount is my feet; my bed is the earth
and my pillow, a stone; my blanket in the winter is the east of the earth and my lamp in the
night is the moon; my stew is hunger and my motto is fear; my clothing is wool and my fruit
and my basil is what grows from the earth for the wild beasts and cattle. I sleep while I have
nothing and I rise while I have nothing, and yet there is no one on earth more wealthy than I) 1
They found him calling them to the asceticism in this world, and handling the call to
Allah. And this leads them to confront the tyrants and their agents who oppose the call to Allah.
They found him calling his followers to prepare for death, to bear killing on the path of
Allah, and to bear difficulties in the way of calling to Allah.
Allah answered that to them, and said that they have said a lie about Him and He named this shameful from
them. Al-Kafi, vol.1, page 373, door of Who claims Imamate and is not from its people. Translator note: (English
translation of this hadith from Arabic was complicated. I did my best to translate this, so that it can be understood)

Qisas Al-Anbiya (Stories of the prophets) from Al-Jazairi: Page 460, Idat Adai: Page 107, Bihar Al-Anwar: V14,
Page 239.
They found him sitting with the sinners and the tax collectors to correct/reform them, so
Jesus a.s did not come to reinforce the position of the non-working scholars and their authority,
to glorify their value, and to extend their tyranny, rather, he came to expose them with his
knowledge and his asceticism in this world.
So the scholars of Bani Israel started to speak about him, and to accuse him of various
false accusations, and his disciples came to him and said: (Knowest thou that the Pharisees were
offended, after they heard this saying?), so he a.s answered them: (Let them alone: they be
blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.) 1
Thus, the front of falsehood confronting Jesus a.s was wide, containing the scholars of
Bani Israel, Jewish people who underestimated him by their false accusations, and the Kafir
(disbeliever) ruler Pilate and his soldiers, and perhaps some of them are surprised, and they
have right in that, when they know that the animosity of the non-working scholars from Bani
Israel to Jesus a.s was strongest/worst than the animosity of Pilate, the tyrant ruler, and his
soldiers, this is why Jesus a.s started to show the error of these non-working scholars in front of
public.
He a.s said to the crowds and his disciples: (The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit
in Moses seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they
do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put
them on other peoples shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move
them. Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries[a] wide and
the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most
important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces
and to be called Rabbi by others... Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in peoples faces. You yourselves do not
enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Woe to you, teachers of the law and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you
have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are. Woe to you, blind
guides! You say, If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but anyone who swears by
the gold of the temple is bound by that oath. You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the
temple that makes the gold sacred? You also say, If anyone swears by the altar, it means
nothing; but anyone who swears by the gift on the altar is bound by that oath. You blind men!
Which is greater: the gift, or the altar that makes the gift sacred? Therefore, anyone who swears
by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And anyone who swears by the temple swears
1
by it and by the one who dwells in it. And anyone who swears by heaven swears by Gods
throne and by the one who sits on it. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you
hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spicesmint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the
more important matters of the lawjustice, mercy and faithfulness...) 1.
And we should contemplate on these words, perhaps it was directed one day to Bani
Israel and their scholars, and maybe today is directed to us.
And with days, the followers of Jesus a.s multiplied/increased, and they are, like the
followers of any Prophets, from the poor and oppressed ones, or according to what the enemies
of the Prophets a.s name them: {the meanest and immature of judgement} 2
And the scholars of Bani Israel started to conspire to kill Jesus a.s under the pretext that
he claims kingship. And his followers multiplied and this leads to, that the Romans would attack
the Jewish people and destroy them, therefore, the leader of scholars of Jews decided that the
killing of Jesus a.s and his destruction is better than the destruction of the whole people, so
under the pretext of protecting the people, Jesus a.s should be killed!!
And these are the scales of justice!! And this is the truth in the eyes of these upsidedown people, oppressive and killers of the Prophets, who see the evil as a virtue, so in order
that the Romans do not disturb their lives and that their interests and lives do not be at risk,
Jesus a.s must be killed, the truth must be suffocated and the light must be extinguished, so that
the tyrant, oppression and darkness dominate, because the important is that the non-working
scholars of Bani Israel stay alive: {You will see they are covetous of life more than other men,
even more than those who practise idolatry. Each one of them desires to live a thousand
years, although longevity will never save them from punishment, for God sees all they do.}3
And they tried by all every mean to seduce him to Caesar the ruler of Romans and his agent
Pilate and his cursed followers to kill him!! And because they are cowards, they were not to
realize the courage of this great Prophet, in the Gospel of Matthew: (Then went the Pharisees,
and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their
disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way
1
of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell
us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus
perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute
money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and
superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.) 1
Thus, they wanted from him to say in a clear way and in front of public that he forbids
paying taxes to the government of the cursed Caesar, to make him repent to this tyrant and his
cursed dirty ones, this, and they paid taxes to Caesar and they gave Fatwa to people about the
permissibility of paying it to Caesar, even though it strengthens the tyrants government, so
they were slaves to the tyrant, and their souls hid cowardice because of their love for life and
their care about it.
As for the answer of Jesus a.s, its meaning is: Do not give tribute to Caesar; because the
picture and the writing on the dinar do not have a value, but the value is in gold from which the
dinar was cast and the gold is for Allah, and after all, at the end, the scholars of Bani Israel
arrested Jesus a.s.
And it was mentioned in the Gospel that they spat on his noble face, and hit him and
humiliated him, and they accused him that he is disbelieving and lying about Allah Almighty,
then they handed him over to Pilate, and they accused him that he is claiming the kingship and
threatening the Roman Empire, and they asked from Pilate to kill him and crucify him, and they
insisted on that.
It was mentioned in the Gospel: (1Then the whole company of them arose, and brought
him before Pilate. 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, "We found this man perverting our
nation, and forbidding us to give tribute to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ a king."
And Pilate asked him, "Are you the King of the Jews?" And he answered him, "You have said so."
4 And Pilate said to the chief priests and the multitudes, "I find no crime in this man." 5 But they
were urgent, saying, "He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee even to
this place.") 2
And when Pilate, the tyrant ruler, wanted to release him on the Easter, the scholars of
Jews and the people who underestimated him refused that, and they asked that one of the
killers be released instead of him, and they insisted on killing and crucifying Jesus, and the
1
2
strange thing is when they brought Jesus a.s to the palace of Pilate to hand him over, they didnt
enter the palace, because they were believing in the disbelieving of Pilate, therefore, whomever
from them enters his palace he becomes impure, however, they put their hands with the hand
of Pilate to destroy Jesus a.s.
Look how the people of falsehood, despite of their differences and their fights, gathered
to eliminate the truth!!
And contemplate and do not be from the negligent ones, the people of falsehood, no
matter how their ways are different and how their beliefs and their views are contradictory, the
obedience to Shaytan (l.a.) gathers them, and love for Dunya unites them.
And anyways, they plotted, but Allah also plotted, and Allah is the best of plotters, so
Allah did not let them kill Jesus a.s, but He raised him to the sky and made him appear to them,
and they thought that they killed him, Almighty said: {And their saying: Surely we have killed
the Messiah, Isa son of Mariam, the apostle of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they
crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are
only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture,
and they killed him not for sure. Nay! Allah took him up to Himself; and Allah is Mighty, Wise.
And there is not one of the followers of the Book but most certainly believes in this before his
death, and on the day of resurrection he (Isa) shall be a witness against them.} 1
And Allah saved Jesus a.s alive to the last age, and he will descend from the sky to the
earth InshaAllah as a guide to the Straight Path, and minister to the seal of Guardians of the
Prophet sawas. Al-Mahdi a.s when he rises with the truth and cleans the earth from Shirk,
atheism, oppression and corruption, and spreads Monotheism, Justice and Mercy among
people.
And we should, while reading the stories of these great Prophets a.s, have a certainty
that the falsehood, no matter how high it is, it is like the scum, it passes away as a worthless
thing, and that no matter how the falsehood tries to cover the truth, it remains and benefits
people like the water under the scum, Almighty said: {He sends down water from the cloud,
then watercourses flow (with water) according to their measure, and the torrent bears along
the swelling foam, and from what they melt in the fire for the sake of making ornaments or
apparatus arises a scum like it; thus does Allah compare truth and falsehood; then as for the
scum, it passes away as a worthless thing; and as for that which profits the people, it tarries in
1
the earth; thus does Allah set forth parables} 1. And no matter how the branches of falsehoods
tree branch, thicken and cover some branches of Tree of the Truth, and tried to strangle it, it
will come a time where the tree of falsehood will be ripped out and taken to Hell to finish with
no origin, rootless, what is its decision, and even if it remains from the Tree of the Truth only
one branch which flutters away behind the clouds, it will grow and its branches will branch and
thicken until it shades all people of the earth; because its roots are firm in the ground and its
branches flutter in the sky, Almighty said: {Do you not see how God compares a noble act to a
healthy tree whose roots are firm and branches in the sky, which yields (24) By the leave of its
Lord its fruit in all seasons, God presents words of wisdom to men that they might reflect. An
evil act is like a rotten tree torn out of the earth with no (base or) firmness. With immutable
words God makes the faithful dauntless in the life of the world and the life to come, but leads
the unjust into error, for God does as He pleases} 2.

The Hanafis (people who adopted Hanafism as religion) did not all deviate in Mecca, but
there remained from them a little group who were holding on the truth, from them are Abd AlMuttalib the Prophets sawas. grandfather, and Abdullah the Prophets sawas. father, and Abu
Talib the Prophets sawas. uncle, it was mentioned in the will of the prophet sawas. to Ali a.s: (O
Ali! Abdul Mutalib practiced five traditions - during the Age of Ignorance - which Allah
established in Islam for his sake. He forbade marrying women to whom your fathers married.
Thus, Allah the Honourable the Exalted revealed {And marry not women whom your fathers
married} 1. O Ali! Abdul Mutalib never gambled by raffling with arrows, worshipped idols, or
ate what, on which the name of other than Allah was invoked. He used to say, I am the
follower of the religion of my (fore) father -Abraham (as)...) 2.
And in the books of History, there is that Sayyid Abd Al-Muttalib knew the place of
Zamzam after he [was inspired by] Divine revelation, by (visions), so he drilled in the place which
he saw [in the dream] and it was the place of Zamzam 3, as for Abu Talib, he is the master of
Hanafis and a guardian from the guardians of Abraham a.s, rather, he is their seal and he was
the proof upon the Prophet before he was sent, then he was a follower of the Messenger of
Allah sawas. after the sending, so he is the master of Muslims in Mecca, and the people
narrated a lot about his graciousness, and they narrated a lot of poems indicating his conversion
to Islam, and they narrated many of his positions in supporting Islam, yet, they say that Abu
Talib died as unbeliever, for no other reason except hatred for his son Ali a.s, which his
and they did not find any faults to reproach him
remembrance covered/hid the
with, from his creation, morals or religion, what Abi Talib said:
106F
Didnt you know that we find Muhammad a prophet like Moses, traced in the first of
books.
It enough to prove his conversion to Islam, so how [is he a disbeliever], and his positions
in supporting the Islamic religion are clearer than the sun at noon, even if he concealed his
conversion to Islam a period of time, like the believer of the family of Pharaoh. 1.
***
From Imam Al-Hassan Bin Ali, Al-Askari from his fathers a.s: (Allah Almighty revealed to His messenger sawas
that: I supported you with two [groups of] Shia: Shia whom will support you in secret, and Shia whom will
support you openly, as for the one who will support you in secret, their master and the best of them is your
uncle Abu Talib, and as for the one who will support you openly, their master and the best of them is his son Ali
Ibn Abi Talib. Then he said: and Abi Talib is like the believer of the family of Pharaoh, conceals his faith) AlGhadir: V7, Page 395; and review Al-Kafi: V1, Page 448, Bihar Al-Anwar: V17, Page 141, and others.
Almighty said: {He has laid down for you the (same) way of life and belief which He had
commended to Noah, and which We have enjoined on you, and which We had bequeathed to
Abraham, Moses and Jesus, so that they should maintain the order and not be divided among
themselves} 1.
And Almighty said: {Say: "I am not a new Messenger to come, nor do I know what is to
be done to me or you. I only follow what is revealed to me. My duty is only to warn you
clearly." Tell them: "Think (of the consequence) if this is from Allah and you deny it when a
witness from the people of Israel had testified to the like of it and come to believe, while you
spurn it?" Assuredly Allah does not guide a wicked people.} 2, {his is surely in the earlier
Books, * The Books of Abraham and Moses} 3.
Islam, as a Divine religion, does not differ from Judaism, Christianity or Hanafism
religion, and it is not a heretic thing, rather, perhaps, in these religions, some details of
legislation are different, and Islam came with some different details to suit the integrative
march of humanity on this earth. Because the Divine beliefs of all religions are One, and it is to
believe in Allah, His angels, His books and His messengers, because they are one nation and
their call is one.
As for the claims, of some who didnt hear well, so they answered wrong, that
Christianity or others are a call for turning away from the material life and paying attention to
spiritual life only, and that is why it is unsuccessful, and Islam is a call to reform both the soul
and the body, and so it is fittest.
I say: The fact is that this claim is not true, and the one who wants to spread Islam has to
be an objective critic and not to do it randomly, and to insult the Prophets of Allah and His
Messengers, knowingly or not. Rather, he ascribes to Allah the ignorance and lack of wisdom
under the pretext of spreading Islam. So here we hear from some Muslim scholars who speak
about Zionists (may Allah curse them) and say: Their Solomon and their temple. No dear, rather,
he is our Solomon and our temple, because we, Muslims, are more worthy of Prophets and their
monuments than Jews and others, Almighty said: {Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among
the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet, and those
who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers. A faction of the people of
the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and
1
they perceive [it] not. O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah
while you witness [to their truth]? O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth
with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]?} 1.
So Islam, Christianity and Judaism are all Divine religions, and Muhammad, Jesus and
Moses a.s are all Prophets, and the call of all these prophets is One, because they called people
to the path of Allah Almighty and to walk on it, and to go towards moral and spiritual
perfections, and their Laws (Sharia) (May prayers of my Lord be upon them) contain a lot of
judgements of legitimate transactions that would repair the material world and entertain the
human society economically, socially and politically. As for what can be remarked from their
words, from frequent call to go towards the moral and spiritual perfections and to turn away
from the material world, it is only an equation issue, for what they see as people are turning
away from moral perfections and heading/going for the physical world, and being occupied by it
[physical world] in abnormal way, and also, today, we dont need to direct people, in our Islamic
society, to the physical world as they are always occupied by it, and they can hardly see what is
behind it, rather, we are in need of calling them to go towards Allah, Almighty said about
punishing this humanity which is occupied by materialism and [which] turned away from
spirituality: {Let them eat and enjoy themselves and be diverted by [false] hope, for they are
going to know} 2, meaning to be diverted by working and indulging in Dunya.
As for what was mentioned in the words of the Prophets a.s - and it is in fact a little
[words] comparing to others - from directing some groups in the divine society to work, earn
and enjoy what Allah provided for them, is for the reason that very small group among the
believers perhaps believe that Allah Almighty detests for them to enjoy what He provided for
them from the good material things, and also some parasites wants to sit and worship as he
claims - and that people bring his bread and put it in his mouth, and this in fact has nothing to
do with the religion, because this one is an asker of comfort who wants to sit in a cool place and
not to get his body tired. And the farmer who is burned by sun, He comes to him with his bread
and puts it in his mouth.

Al-Ayashi narrated: from Abi Basir, from Abi Abdullah a.s in His saying: (and although before they used to pray for
victory against those who disbelieved) (Surat Al-Baqara (2):89) he said: (The Jews found in their books that
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.s.), the Messenger of Allah, would migrate and settle between Ayr and Uhud. So, they
went out looking for that place. They passed by a mountain called Hadad; and they said: Hadad and Uhud are
the same. So they dispersed nearby; some of them settled at Fadak, and some others at Khaybar and yet others
at Tayma. Those at Tayma once desired (to see) some of their brethren (at another place). A Bedouin from (the
tribe of) Qays passed by them and they hired (his camels). He told them: I shall take you from between Ayr and
Uhud. They told him: When you pass between the two, tell us. When they reached the land of Medina, he said:
That is Ayr and this is Uhud. They descended from his camels and said to him: `We have now found (the place
of) our desire; now we do not need your camels, you may go wherever you wish. Then they wrote to their
brethren at Fadak and Khaybar: We have found the place, come therefore to us. They wrote in reply: `Now we
have settled in this place, and have acquired properties; and we are so near to you. Therefore, when it will
happen (i.e., when the Prophet sawas. will come to Medina), we shall rush to you. Those Jews acquired
properties in the land of Medina. When their wealth increased, its news came to the ears of Tubba and he
attacked them. They fortified themselves and he laid siege to them. And they used to take pity on the weekly
soldiers of Tubba and throw dates and barley to them at night. This came to the notice of Tubba and he
softened towards them. He assured them of their safety and they came down to him. He told them: I do like this
place of yours and I am inclined to settle down here. They said: It is not for you. It is the migration place of a
prophet; and no one may settle down here until that happens. Thereupon he said: Then I am leaving among
you some of the members of my clan, so that when it happens they shall help and assist him. Thus he left
behind the two tribes you see today, the Aws and the Khazraj. When these two (tribes) increased in number,
they used to grab the properties of the Jews. At that time, the Jews used to warn them: Oh! when Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.s.) is sent (by Allah) we shall certainly turn you out from our town and properties. But when
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.s.) was sent as Prophet, it was the Helpers (the Aws and the Khazraj) who believed in him
and the very Jews denied him! This is the meaning of the words of Allah(and although before they used to pray
for victory against those who disbelieved to so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers). Tafsir AlAyashi: V1, Page 49.

He a.s has appointed their shameful attitudes before, so review [that].
As for Jesus a.s, most of the scholars of Bani Israel and their leaders were not satisfied
with him, because his presence a.s among them was a rebuke to them, and his asceticism [was]
a disgrace which humiliated them.
It was mentioned in the Gospel: (And then Jesus with greatest vehemence rebuked the
people for that they had forgotten the word of God, and gave themselves only to vanity; he
rebuked the priests for their negligence in God's service and for their worldly greed; he rebuked
the scribes because they preached vain doctrine, and forsook the law of God; he rebuked the
doctors because they made the law of God of none effect through their traditions. And in such
wise did Jesus speak to the people, that all wept, from the least to the greatest, crying mercy,
and beseeching Jesus that he would pray for them; save only their priests and leaders, who on
that day conceived hatred against Jesus for having thus spoken against the priests, scribes, and
doctors. And they meditated upon his death, but for fear of the people, who had received him
as a prophet of God, they spake no word. Jesus raised his hands to the Lord God and prayed,
and the people weeping said: 'So be it, O Lord, so be it.' The prayer being ended Jesus
descended from the temple; and that day he departed from Jerusalem, with many that followed
him. And the priests spoke evil of Jesus among themselves) 1.
And Al-Mahdi a.s will face what his ancestors among Prophets and Guardians faced from
the scholars of religion and the tyrants, and perhaps his calamity will be bigger as some
narrations indicate. And the search will come in the narration about the scholars of religion
interpreting the Quran [against him], and protesting against Al-Mahdi by the verses of the Holy
Quran, after they explain it with their incomplete minds and personal whims 2.

Muhammad sawas.
The caller to Allah in Mecca
Almighty said: {Certainly an Apostle has come to you from among yourselves; grievous
to him is your falling into distress, excessively solicitous respecting you; to the believers (he is)
compassionate, But if they turn back, say: Allah is sufficient for me, there is no god but He; on
Him do I rely, and He is the Lord of mighty power} 1.
The Meccan community was divided into two classes or three:
The First: they are the ones who lead the procedure of distorting the Hanafi Sharia
(Law) and their followers. And these were involved in the wrong worshiping, whether in their
beliefs like worshiping idols or their Jurisprudential judgements, like forbidding Al-Bahira and AlHam 2, and these are the masters of people and their scholars, so it is natural that most of the
people of Mecca are their followers.
As for the second class: they are the ones who found their fathers misguided, or the
ones who deviated, in that deviant society, from the straight path, but they were unsatisfied
with their bad condition, rather, some of them were in a state of revolution within themselves
on these corrupted conditions.
As for the third class: they are a small group which held on the truth, meaning the right
Hanafism religion, or what reached to them from it, and at least there are monotheists. So when
the Prophet sawas was sent, he was a glad tiding for these believers, who were waiting his
sending and crying out to Allah to show them their rituals, and also the prophet was a fortified
shelter and a secretary cave for every astray wallowing in the darkness of ignorance, and
looking for light of the truth, scales of justice and the straight path.
Thus, the Prophet sawas was sent in Mecca, the village of the villages, the city where
people go to pilgrimage, and the city which represents the religious reference to Hanafis, to
start the reform from the religious centre in the Arabian Peninsula, the centre where a lot of
corruption in doctrines and provisions/judgments reached it. And the Prophet sawas was sent
with the Islamic Sharia (Law) which renews the Hanifism and copies some of its
provisions/judgments. Because the Sharia (Law) of Ibrahim a.s is the closest to the hearts/souls,
and the luckiest to have Jews and Christians, who are sanctifying Ibrahim a.s and considering
1
him as father of the great Prophets a.s, joining it under its banner, and the brave prophet
Muhammad sawas, who does not fear a blame of a critic, started to warn the deviant ones
among his clan by the permission of Allah Almighty, and the famous house event happened 1,
and the Prophet sawas notified his relatives about his sending and his prophecy, and he also
assigned in that day, by the permission of Allah Almighty, his Guardian, Minister and Successor
in his life and after his death, Ali Ibn Abi Talib a.s, and the call to Allah began to spread in Mecca,
and it seemed to the leaders of Mecca that their interests are threatened, so they started
planning in variety ways to hurt the Prophet sawas and kill him if it is possible, and to hit Islam,
and the Prophet sawas, his Guardian and the believers call to Allah without stopping, and like
that the numbers of Muslims started to increase. And also the harm of the unbelievers
increased and they began to torture them and prevent the Prophet sawas from notifying the
message of the sky.
And like that, the Prophet sawas was pushed to the second step (the emigration to
Allah). Almighty said: {And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth
many [alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to
Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his reward has already become
incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever Forgiving and Merciful} 2.
And the Prophet sawas started to look for an Islamic base and a city to emigrate to, and
he began to meet people in the pilgrimage/Hajj seasons, and to say to them: (Is there any man
to take me to his people, because Quraish has stopped me from notifying the words of my
Lord) 3, and Quraish did not leave him even in the pilgrimage season, rather, they were taking
people to deny him and to make fun of him, and he was facing them with tolerance and
patience.
Ahmed narrated in his Musnad (book) and others: from Sharik Bin Al-Amash, from Al-Minhal, from Abbad Bin
Abdullah Al-Asadi, from Ali may Allah be pleased with him, he said: when this verse was revealed: (And warn, [O
Muhammad], your closest kindred) (Surat Ash-Shuara (26): 214), he said: (the Prophet gathered his family
around him so 30 gathered, so they ate and drank and then he said: "Who is willing to guarantee my debts and
commitments so that he should be with me in paradise and should be my successor from among my family." A
person whom Shurayk did not name, answered: O Messenger of Allah you are like a sea, who can take charge of
this responsibility. The Prophet repeated his statement to his relatives, and Ali may Allah be pleased with him
replied: "I will undertake this responsibility.") V1, Page 111. And As-Sadooq narrated in Al-ilal: from Ali Bin Abi
Talib a.s he said: when (And warn, [O Muhammad], your closest kindred) was revealed, the messenger of Allah
sawas invited Bani Abd Muttalib and they were forty men in number, so he said: who among you wants to be my
brother, my guardian, my inheritor, my minister and my successor after me? so he offered them that, man by
man, and they all refused, until Ali came, so I said: I will be O messenger of Allah, so he said: O Bani Abd Muttalib
this is my brother, my inheritor, my guardian, my minister and my successor among you after me, so the people
started to laugh to each other and say to Abi Talib: he has ordered you to listen and to obey this boy) V1, Page
17, and remark: Al-Irshad from Seikh Al-Mufid: V1, Page 49; Manaqib Ibn Shahr Ashub: V1, Page 305, and others.

And it was narrated that he was saying what means: (My Lord, forgive my people
because they do not know) 1.
And under those painful circumstances, a delegation from the Christians of Abyssinia
with Jafar Bin Abi Taleb came to the messenger of Allah sawas when he came back to Mecca
after his emigration, and a group of companions of the messenger of Allah sawas to Abyssinia,
and the Christians were thirty and some men: (So when they sat next to the messenger of Allah
sawas and saw his qualities and conditions and heard what was recited for them from The
Quran, they all believed, so when Abu Jahl knew that he came to them saying: we never saw an
idiot Rakb [It was called for, or above, the ten passengers of camels and horses] like you!... Your
people sent you and you know the news of this man, so your councils were not assured with
him until you left your religion and believed him in what he said, so they said: Peace be upon
you, we will not follow you in your ignorance, we have what we are, and you have what you are,
we will not prevent ourselves from reaching good, so Almighty sent about them: {Those to
whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it. And when it is recited to
them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were,
[even] before it, Muslims [submitting to Allah]." Those will be given their reward twice for
what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We
have provided them they spend. And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and
say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not
the ignorant."} 2 ...) 3.

Migration to Allah
And when people of Mecca and Quraish insisted on hurting the Messenger sawas, he
was obliged to emigrate, and he migrated first to Taif, to Thaqeef from whom he was hoping to
believe in him and to support him, but they let him down and did not accept his call, rather,
they hurt him, so he started to bemoan his people whom he was calling to what gives them life,
and they wanted his perdition and to destroy him. And he raised his head to the sky and
pronounced those words which are filled with pain: (O Allah, I appeal to You for the weakness
in my strength and my limited power and the treatment of contempt and humiliation from
people. To You, the Most Merciful of all the merciful ones, You are the Lord of the oppressed,
and You are my Lord. Under whose care are You leaving me to? To an enemy oppressing me?
Or to a friend You have given control of my affair? If there is no anger from You on me I will
forever be content. However, Your blessing is vastly important for me I seek refuge with the
glory of Your Light which the heavens and earth are lit form, Your anger will not befall on me,
nor Your displeasure descends on me. To You is the supplication until You are pleased and
there is no control or power except by You) 1.
And Allah wanted after this period to give/prepare for the Messenger of Allah sawas a
group from among Aws and Khazraj, to take him to Yathrib, the city which was established to
wait for him, the city of Jews who are waiting his appearance and rise.
The Jews established this city to wait for the seal of the Prophets sawas about whom
their prophets gave glad tidings, and to support him as they claimed, so they migrated from the
Levant to the Arabian Peninsula looking for the promised place which was described to them to
be between the mounts of Uhud and Ir, and finally they found it and settled in it and established
the city of Yathrib, and when the Yemeni king came to them, he was followed by his army, so he
asked them about the reason of their migration, so they told him that they are waiting for a
Prophet who will be sent and will settle in this place, so he kept some of his family in Yathrib to
support the Prophet sawas when he is sent, and these are the Aws and Khazraj, so whenever
the Jews had a dispute with Aws and Khazraj, they threatened them by the Umi Prophet sawas
who will be sent, and as they claimed, they are waiting for him and they will be his followers, his
supporters and his disciples.
Almighty said: {And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which
was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the
curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers} 2.

Surat Al-Baqara (2) : 89.
And the Muslims migrated to Al-Madina after a long period of suffering spent in Mecca,
and the Prophet sawas followed/joined them carrying a painful and bad image of people of
Mecca, his people who disbelieved in him and hurt him and the people who believed with him,
and finally they took him out, afraid and waiting, and he went towards Al-Madina, and it was
supposed that the Jews be the first to receive him and welcome his blessed arrival to their city
which they established to receive/welcome him, and to be the first to believe in him and to
support him, but they let him down and their scholars disbelieved in him and tried to disregard
people and to push them into disbelieving in him and in his prophecy, so they did not benefit
from the knowledge which was with them, rather, they made it a reason for their arrogance on
the Prophet sawas, and Allah gave Bolom Bin Baura as a lesson for them in the Quran 1, so
that they stop and go back to their senses and repent to their Lord, but they were more
stubborn and arrogant like the cadaver/carrion when the pure rain descends upon it, it gets
more fetor and mustiness.
And if we look at the state of Jews we will find that they were surprised by things:
The first: Is that the Prophet sawas is not Israeli, so if they had opposed Talut a.s
because he was not a descendant of Joseph, the house of kingship, nor a descendant of Levi, the
house of prophecy 2, even though Talut is a descendant of Benjamin brother of Joseph,
meaning: he is Israeli, then their opposition to the Prophet sawas would not have been an
unexpected thing, Almighty said: {And those who were given the Scripture did not differ
except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves.
And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking]
account}3.
As for the second thing: Is that some beliefs and jurisprudential provisions which the
Messenger of Allah sawas brought differ from their corrupted beliefs and jurisprudential
provisions for which they were claiming to be the Sharia of Moses a.s, although their scholars
have distorted a lot of it even before the sending of Jesus a.s.
And the third: The Messenger of Allah sawas will take away from the scholars of Bani
Israel their status and their false religious leadership, and also his justice in distributing money
will take away the peculiarity which they were enjoying, so if they follow him, they will not be
1
He is indicating the saying of Allah Almighty about the scholar of Bani Israel Bulom Bin Baura who was
mentioned in Surat Al-Araf: (And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge
of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators. * And
if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his
own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants.
That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give
thought.) (Surat Al-Araf (7) : 175-176. )
2
Sheikh Kulaini narrated: From Abi Bassir, from Abi Jafar a.s in the saying of Allah Almighty: (And their prophet
said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while
we are more worthy of kingship than him) (Surat Al-Baqara(2):247) he said: (he was not from the tribe of prophecy
nor from the tribe of Kingdom,...) Al-Kafi: V8, Page 316.
3
Surat Al-i-Imran (3) : 19
able to monopolize the money of charities. It was mentioned in the explanation of: {Do you
order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then
will you not reason?} 1.
From Imam Al-Askari a.s : (And these were some of the heads of the Jews and their
scholars who took the wealth of the charities and donations for good causes, and ate from
these and did not let it reach the deserving ones. Then they decided to come to the
Messenger of Allah sawas and they said to some of their people: 'This Muhammad sawas has
exceeded his sawas limits and makes the claim of what he sawas is not...).
Then Imam Al-Askari a.s said: (Then the Messenger of Allah sawas said: 'O group of
Jews! These chiefs of yours are infidels who stop you from your wealth and reduce your share
of your rights, and they are unjust to you in the distribution of the rest of the wealth, they
reduce one and elevate another.' The chiefs of the Jews said: 'Relate to us your proofs, the
proof of your Prophet-hood and the Trusteeship of Ali a.s your a.s brother, this one. Your
claims are false and you want to inflame our people against us?' The Messenger of Allah
sawas said: 'No, but Allah the Almighty gave Permission to His Prophet sawas to claim the
wealth of these vulnerable people which you have usurped from them) 2.
And the result was that the love of Ego and capriciousness has seized the scholars of
Bani Israel, and the arrogance prevented them from following the Ummi Prophet sawas, and
they did not believe in the Prophet except for few amongst them. And like that, the ones who
were waiting failed again in waiting, like they failed in waiting Jesus and Moses a.s before him.
And the truth which needs to be looked at is: that these Jews who failed in waiting the
Prophet Muhammad sawas are the sons of those who migrated in the path of Allah and
established the city of Yathrib to wait the seal of the Prophets sawas, Almighty said: {But there
came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to
meet evil} 3.
As for the Christians, they exaggerated about Jesus a.s, and deformed his biography and
teachings, or what is called (The Gospel or the New Testament), and sometimes they wrongly
comprehend his words a.s, and the Prophets a.s sometimes speak with symbols, examples and
wisdoms to bring closer some facts/truths to the people.
I say: The sum of these things combined, so the people find within it ways to get out
from the middle road of the straight path, and to deify Jesus a.s, then to disbelieve in the
Prophecy of Muhammad sawas and the Guardianship of Ali a.s, even though some of them
believed in the Prophet sawas, and as it was mentioned that the first delegation who believed in
the Prophet sawas was the delegation of Christians of Abyssinia, and in the Torah and the four
1
Gospels which exist today and are accepted by the Christians, there are some signs about the
Prophet Muhammad sawas and Ali a.s, and many signs about Al-Mahdi a.s from his
descendants.
As for the Gospel of Barnabas, there is a statement from Jesus a.s that he came to give
the glad tidings of Muhammad sawas and another man who was symbolized by the chosen one,
or one of the chosen ones and who will show the religion of Muhammad sawas, and also he a.s
said that he came to pave the way for Muhammad sawas, and to his Law (Sharia) which will be
in the time of the descent of Jesus, the Law (Sharia) of all people of the earth.
Almighty said: {It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of
truth to manifest it over all religion, although they who associate others with Allah dislike it}1,
{It is He who sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all
religion. And sufficient is Allah as Witness} 2, {They want to extinguish the light of Allah with
their mouths, but Allah will perfect His light, although the disbelievers dislike it.* It is He who
sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth to manifest it over all religion,
although those who associate others with Allah dislike it.} 3.
And the [reason behind the] existence of Jesus a.s till today is only to support the
religion of Allah when he descends in the time of the appearance of Imam Al-Mahdi a.s, and
prays behind him, and [when] his tolerant Hanafi Islamic Law (Sharia) comes back, as the two
groups narrated from the owner of the Sharia sawas.
***
The Exchange
The people of the Messenger of Allah sawas, his clan, the people of his city and the
scholars of Jews and Christians disbelieved in him, and the elders and the heads of people did
not believe in him, but the strangers, the people of good and blessed city Yathrib, believed in
him and accepted him, and the poor ones, the impoverished ones and the young ones believed
in him, and like that, Allah exchanged the religious scholars, the heads of people and some who
were claiming to wait the sending of Muhammad sawas, with others who are the chosen
companions of Muhammad sawas whom he put in front of him in Paradise, and most of them
were killed in his life (life of Muhammad sawas), as muhtasibin martyrs, Almighty said: {Among
the believers are men true to what they promised Allah. Among them is he who has fulfilled
his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter
[the terms of their commitment] by any alteration} 1.
Almighty said: {Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful
against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating [in
prayer], seeking bounty from Allah and [His] pleasure. Their mark is on their faces from the
trace of prostration. That is their description in the Torah. And their description in the Gospel
is as a plant which produces its offshoots and strengthens them so they grow firm and stand
upon their stalks, delighting the sowers - so that Allah may enrage by them the disbelievers.
Allah has promised those who believe and do righteous deeds among them forgiveness and a
great reward} 2.
These [large] group changed the face of the history and whitened the face of humanity,
Jafar Bin Abi Talib, Abu Dijana Al-Ansari, Handhala Ghasil Al-Malaika, Zayd Bin Haritha,
Abdullah Bin Ruwaha, Al-Miqdad, Ammar, Jundub Bin Junada, Salman Al-Muhammadi with
Persian origin and many others, perhaps the history did not mention a name or a scripture of
some among those who fought the corruption and the corrupters, and [those who] did not
desire exaltedness on the earth, known in the sky and unknown on the earth, so good state is
theirs and a good return, and may Allah reward them on the account of Islam and Muslims, the
best reward, for their support for the religion of Allah in His earth, and their support for the
master of the Prophets and the master of the Guardians Muhammad and Ali may prayers and
peace of my Lord be upon them and their families.
And close to this is what happened with the ones, who preceded Muhammad sawas
among the Prophets, as we saw/read [before] that the Jewish scholars will not believe in Jesus
a.s, and the people of his city, An-Nasira where he was raised, did not believe in him, it was
mentioned in the Gospel: (Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his
disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard
him were amazed. Where did this man get these things? they asked. Whats this wisdom that
1
2
has been given him? What are these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isnt this the
carpenter? Isnt this Marys son and the brother of James, Joseph,[a] Judas and Simon? Arent
his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him. Jesus said to them, A prophet is not
without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home. He could not
do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them. He was amazed
at their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village) 1.
And also it was mentioned in some narrations that some Shia will not believe in AlMahdi a.s, as the Sunni did not believe in his fathers a.s, ([this is] Sunna (the established way) of
Allah, and you will not find in the way of Allah any change).
Rather, some of the non-working scholars, whom the ignorant one thinks that they are
closer to him (a.s), will not believe in him, Imam As-Sadiq a.s said: (...Likewise is the Qaim (a.s).
The days of his occultation will be lengthy so the truth may become clear and the belief may
become pure from impurity by the apostasy of everyone from the Shia with a wicked nature,
who are feared from being hypocrites when they expect heirship and empowerment and a
vast security in the reign of the Qaim (a.s.)... And he a.s said: All of that, so that the
postponement which Allah made to his enemy, Iblis (l.a), fulfills (
), until the decreed period reaches its end, and justify the word against disbelievers, and
the promise, which Allah clarified in His book by His saying: {Allah has promised those who
have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession
[to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them} 2, approaches, and
that, when nothing will remain from Islam except its name, and from the Quran except its
scripture, and [when] the owner of the matter is missed by a clarified reason for it, because of
the seduced hearts, until the closest one to him becomes the most hostile to him, thereupon,
Allah will support him by soldiers whom you did not see, and will manifest the religion of His
Prophet through his hands, and will manifest it over all religion, although those who associate
others with Allah dislike it) 3.

equivalent to Zakat which Muslims pay, this is the fair law of Islam in the Quran, {There shall be
no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion} 1.
As for the ones who do not adopt any religion of the Creator Almighty, and do not have a
Divine religion, so these ones should be fought until they say: There is no god except for Allah
and Muhammad is His messenger.
And like that, Islam was spread by the preference of Allah and by the Jihad of the
Prophet, the Guardian and the believers. The Prophet sawas was like the physician who roams
with his medicines like the prince of believers a.s described him 2, he was walking among people
ordering them with virtues and preventing them from evil, and he was working day and night to
spread the word of there is no god except for Allah, and this is the conduct which the Imams a.s
worked by after him, as it was the conduct of the Prophets and Messengers before him, Jesus
a.s was a traveller on the earth calling people to Allah, and like that [were] the rest of the
Prophets Ibrahim, Moses and others a.s.
These are their stories in the Quran calling for the continuous serious work to spread
the word of there is no god except for Allah and promoting virtues and preventing evil.

usurpation of Ali (AS)s Divinely Bestowed Successor-ship; surely, that their actions are a clear
loss; why do they have animosity towards Abul-Hassan, Ali (AS)? I swear to Allah (SWT) they
took vengeance because of his, that is, Ali (AS)s unbiased sword, his little regard for dying, his
unprecedented courage, his deadly assaults against transgressors, his severe encounters and
his anger for the sole sake of Allah (SWT).
I swear to Allah (SWT), had they accepted Ali (AS)s leadership, whenever they would
have deviated from the clear Path, and from acceptance of the apparent reasons, surely Ali
(AS) would have brought them back to the Path, and supported and carried them on it, and
directed them easily and smoothly, in a way that the carrier would not be hurt, and the guide
would not be tired, and the traveller would not be harmed; Ali (AS) would have directed them
to the pure and limpid fountainhead of knowledge, overflowing with fresh waters, which have
no impurity; Ali (AS) would have quenched their thirst for learning; Ali (AS) would have
benevolently, secretly or openly, guided them; while he (AS) would never favour himself with
the worldly things with any personal gain and pleasure, his only goal from obtaining the world
would have been, quenching the thirst of the thirsty, and feeding the hungry; thus, the pious
would have been distinguished from the worldly people, and the honest from the dishonest.
And if the people of the towns had believed and became pious, guarded against evil,
We would certainly have opened up for them blessings from the heavens and the earth, but
they rejected, so We overtook them for what they had earned. (Al-Araaf (7), verse 96) And
for the oppressors of these people, the evil results of their deeds will soon overtake them,
and they shall never be able to make us incapable. (Zumar (39), verse 51) Behold! Pay
attention and listen, in your life time you shall see dreadful wonders! Allah (SWT) told the
Prophet (SAW) if you are astonished; strange and astonishing are their words! (Ar-Rad (13),
verse 5) I wish I knew what reason they have for that which they have done? And what they
have relied on? On what grip have they held on? Do they not know, upon whose progeny
have they encroached, and spoken against? Certainly, Evil is the guardian and evil is the
associate they have chosen; (Hajj (22), verse 13) evil is the exchange, for the oppressors. (Kahf
(18), verse 50) I swear to Allah they have exchanged the head for the tale, the wise for the
incapable. Dishonoured and despised be the people, who: they thought that they were
acquiring good by their works! (Al-Kahf (18), verse 104) Behold! Surely, they are the ones
who make mischief, but they comprehend not. (Baqarah (2), verse 12) Woe onto them! Is
then he who gives guidance to the Truth, more worthy to be followed, or he who finds not
guidance himself, unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you? What kind of a
judgment is it that you make! (Yunus (10), verse 35)
I swear on my life, destiny has conceived; so wait, until its fruit comes about; then milk
full buckets of fresh blood and fatal poison; at that time, the dealers of untruth shall suffer;
and the ones who come to follow shall know the evil which their forefathers have established;
so be happy with your world now, but prepare your hearts for calamities, beware of sharp
swords against you, and assaults of tyrant enemies, and overwhelming confusions, and
atrocity of oppressors who shall plunder your belongings and harvest you all! ALAS! How can I
make you understand, while you have gone astray? Shall we then compel you to accept it,
when you are averse to it!) 1
And like that, after the death of the Prophet sawas, the last was advanced and the first
was dropped, and Abu Bakr, Umar and their followers took power, and the Guardian of the
Messenger of Allah sawas, Ali bin Abi Taleb, was eliminated, and [he] was harmed, him and AzZahra (a.s), and she a.s died after the attack of Umar and a group of hypocrites of her house to
force Imam Ali a.s to pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr, and he hit her with whip and pressed her
between the wall and the door until he broke her rib and the nail pierced her chest, and cause
her to drop her baby. And she went to her father oppressed, and defeated by people who used
to hear the Prophet sawas saying what means: (Allah gets angry for the anger of Fatima) 2
So misery is for the people when they violated what Allah has forbidden, and
underestimated the best of His creation: {Their example is that of one who kindled a fire, but
when it illuminated what was around him, Allah took away their light and left them in
darkness [so] they could not see} 3
That, and the Prophet sawas did not leave the Muslims, in his life, without directing
them to the leadership after him, and to the Guardians from his sons a.s, where Allah swt
commanded him with that. But, temptation for the selection has to be, and Sameri has to be,
and the Calf has to be, Almighty said: {Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We
believe" and they will not be tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah
will surely make evident those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars. Or
do those who do evil deeds think they can outrun Us? Evil is what they judge.} 4
And verily, when I wanted to choose some narrations from the Prophet sawas which
indicate that he guided the Muslims to the straight path, and to the Guardians after him and the
successors of Allah on His earth, I hesitated, which one should I select, for they are plentiful
whether in the books of Shia or Sunna. And verily I, and even if I confined to a few ones, but I
ask from Allah that He makes in it a victory for religion, a benefit to Muslims and support for the
believers:
Al-Hafith Muhib Ad-Din Ahmed At-Tabari narrated, and he is from Sunni scholars, and
their narrators in the book Dakhair Al-Uqba fi manaqib Dawi Al-Qurba: From Anas he
said: (There was with the Messenger of Allah sawas a bird so he said: O Allah! bring me
the most beloved creature to You to eat this bird with me, so Ali Bin Abi Taleb came
and ate with him) 5

And from Muada Al-Ghafaria she said: I came to the Prophet sawas at the house of Aisha
and Ali was exiting it so I heard him saying: (O Aisha, Surely this man is the most
beloved of all men and the most precious to me. Therefore, recognize his rights, and
pay tribute to him) 1
And from Al-Bara Bin Azib he said: the Prophet sawas said: (Ali to me is like my head to
my body) 2
And from Al-Muttalib Bin Abdullah Ibn Hanthab, he said: When the delegation of
Thaqeef came, the Prophet sawas said to them: (You shall convert to Islam or I shall
send you a man from me -or he said like myself- to cut your necks, to enchant your
sons, and to take your money. Umar said: By Allah, I did not wish for Emirate (being
Prince) until that day, so I was raising my chest hoping that he says this is him (meaning
Umar). He said: So he turned towards Ali and took his hand, and said: This is him, this is
him) 3
And from Anas Ibn Malek he said: The messenger of Allah sawas said: (Every Prophet
has a coordinate in his nation, and Ali is my coordinate) 4
And from Abi Ayub he said: The messenger of Allah sawas said: (Verily, the Angels has
sent their prayers upon me and upon Ali; because we were praying and no one was
with us praying other than us) 5
And from Abi Dhar he said: The messenger of Allah sawas said: (When I was taken to the
sky (Isra) I passed by an Angel sitting on a bed from light, and one of his legs is in the
Orient and the other in the Occident, and he was looking at a tablet between his
hands, and all Dunya (world) is between his eyes and the creation is between his knees
and his hand reaches the Orient and the Occident, so I said: O Gabriel who is this? so
he said: This is Azrael, come closer and send peace upon him, so I came closer and sent
peace upon him, so he said: And may peace be upon you O Ahmed What your cousin
Ali did. So I said: Do you know my cousin Ali? He said: And how I dont know him, and
Allah commanded me to take the souls of creations except your soul and the soul of
your cousin Ali Bin Abi Taleb, because Allah takes your souls by His will) 6

And from Um Salma, from the messenger of Allah sawas he said: (Whoever loved Ali,
loved me, and whoever loved me, loved Allah. And whoever hated Ali, hated me, and
whoever hated me, hated Allah Almighty) 1
And from Ibn Abbas, he said: (I was with Al-Abbas sitting in the house of the Messenger
of Allah, and suddenly Ali bin Abi Taleb a.s entered and sent peace, so the Messenger of
Allah replied to him and stood up to him and hugged him and kissed him between his
eyes and made him sit in his right, Al-Abbas said: O Messenger of Allah! Do you love this
one! So the Messenger of Allah said: O by Allah, Allah loves him more/greater than I
do, verily, Allah made the descendants of each Prophet from himself, and He made my
descendants from him) 2
And from Imran Ibn Hasin, from the Prophet sawas, he said: (Verily, Ali is from me and I
am from him, and he is the Waliy (friend) of every believer after me) 3
And from Abi Rafi he said: When Ali killed Ashab Al-Alwya (companions of Alwya) at the
day of Uhud, Gabriel a.s said: (O Messenger of Allah, verily, this is the [real] consolation,
so the Prophet sawas said: Verily, he is from me and I am from him, so Gabriel said: and
I am from both of you O Messenger of Allah) 4
And from Ibn Khamis, he said: the Messenger of Allah sawas said: (I was taken to the sky
(Isra) and I look at the legs of the right Throne, so I saw a book [and I understood]
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, I (Allah) have supported him (Muhammad) by
Ali and I have aided him by him) 5
And from Baridah, from him sawas: (Every Prophet has a Guardian and Heir and verily
Ali is my Guardian and Heir) 6
And At-Tabari commented on it and he quoted narrations as evidence, that what is meant
by Guardianship is that the Prophet recommended that Ali a.s take care of his Ghusl 7.

Ahmed Bin Abdullah At-Tabari said in Dhakhair Al-Uqba after he mentioned the previous Hadith: And if this
Hadith was correct, so the inheritance would have been carried upon what Muad bin Jabal, may Allah be pleased
with him, narrated from him, he said: Ali said: (O Messenger of Allah, what I inherit from you? he said: What the
Prophets inherit from each others, the book of Allah and the Sunna (Law) of His Prophet). And the
recommending is carried upon what Anas narrated: That the Prophet sawas said: (My Guardian and my heir pays
my debts and makes my commitment, Ali bin Abi Taleb, may Allah be pleased with him) . Akhrajah Ahmad in Al
Manaqib...and kharajah Ibn Siraj, or upon what Hussein bin Ali narrated from his father from his grandfather he
2
And how these people are surprising, they see all these narrations and then they lean right
and left!!
And it was narrated from Anas, he said: I was at [the house of] the Prophet sawas and he
saw Ali coming, so he said: (O Anas, I said: Labayk (I am resident on your obedience), he
said: This man who is coming is my proof upon my nation on the Day of Judgment) 1
And from Al-Bara Ibn Azib: he said: We were travelling with the Prophet sawas. Then we
stopped at a place called Ghadeer Khum. We prayed the congregational prayer, and a
place was sweep to the Messenger of Allah under a tree, so he prayed Duhr and took the
hand of Ali, and said: (Do you witness that I have more authority over every believer
than he has over himself? The people responded with a Yes, so he took the hand of Ali
and said: Whomever I am his master, then this Ali is also his master. Oh Allah befriend
who befriends him, be the enemy of his enemy), he said: so Umar met him after that
and said: congratulations O son of Abi Taleb you have become the Mawla of every man
and woman believer) 2
And in Al-Manaqib he added to it: (And support whoever supported him and love whoever
loved him) 3
And this is the Hadith of Ghadeer, more famous than a fire upon a mount (this is a proverb:
The ancient Arabs ignited fire on the mountain to guide/show the way to a passenger), and it is
Mutawatir (the people who narrated it cannot lie about it) from the two groups (Shia and
Sunna), but the people are interpreting (wrong) the Wilaya (Guardianship), even though the
Messenger of Allah sawas joined the Guardianship of Ali a.s with his Guardianship sawas, and
his Guardianship sawas with the Guardianship of Allah Almighty.
And At-Tabari narrated from Umar that : (he said to a man Wayhak (Woe to you), you do not
know who is this man, this is my Master and the Master of every believer and whomever he [Ali]
is not his Master, he is not a believer) 4
said: The Prophet sawas recommended Ali to perform ghusl for him, so Ali said: (O Messenger of Allah, Im afraid
not [be able] to bear it, he said: You will be helped on me, so Ali may Allah be pleased with him said: By Allah,
whenever I wanted to flip an organ of the Messenger of Allah it was turned for me). And this interpretation is
supported by what was mentioned from correct Hadiths in denying the inheritance and recommending, and that he
did not promise them a pact except what is in the book of Allah and what is in a tablet which contains some teeth
of camels and from (al3a9l) upon what we decided in the book of Ar-Riad An-Nadra in the virtues of the teen [ones]
may Allah be pleased with them.) Dhakhair Al-Uqba: Page 71

Walayta Chiri (if only I know, if only I feel; expresses exclamation), if you were recognizing
that he is your master and Mawla, so why did you violate his right, you and your companion,
and you wanted to burn his house, rather, you plotted to kill him, is it from envy like the envy of
Sameri for Harun a.s, and from arrogance like the arrogance of Iblis for Adam a.s?! And if only I
know who taught Iblis the arrogance, and who seduced him?!
And At-Tabari narrated from Saad Bin Abi Waqqas, that the Prophet sawas said to Ali a.s:
(You are to me like Aaron (Harun) to Moses (Musa). But there will be no prophet after me) 1.
And this Hadith is more famous than a fire upon a mount.
I say: if you were seeing that he is like Aaron was to Moses, are you blind not to see the
status of Aaron to Moses?! Doesnt Quran says [and insists] that Aaron is the successor of
Moses, {And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by
[the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to
his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow
the way of the corrupters."} 2
And by Allah his Guardianship and the Guardianship of his sons after him and their
succession to the Messenger of Allah sawas is clearer than the sun in what the Sunna narrate
from the Messenger of Allah sawas as well as what Shia narrate, and what Quran proclaims in
many verses, rather, their remembrance exists in the current Torah and Gospel, even if the Jews
and Christians tried to obliterate their remembrance in the past, like unfortunately some
Muslims tried and try today, even though the Quran recommended them and the Messenger of
Allah recommended them. But, O my people, should we force it upon you while you are averse
to it? And wait, indeed, we are waiting.

Al-Araf (7) : 142
Allah sawas said: (Believe in the night of Al Qadr, because, verily, the matter of the
year descends in it, and verily, that matter has Wulat (friends) after me, Ali bin Abi
Taleb and his eleven descendants a.s) 1
And by Isnad (meaning it is narrated from so and so ...from the Prophet sawas) from Abi
Jafar Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Baqir a.s, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, the Messenger
of Allah sawas said: (Stick by the night of Al Qadr, because, verily, it will be after me for
Ali bin Abi Taleb and his eleven descendants after him a.s) 2
And from the first Abi Jafar- meaning Al-Baqir a.s- from his father from his grandfather,
he said: the Messenger of Allah sawas said: (Verily, I am and twelve from my family, the
first of them is Ali bin Abi Taleb, the pegs of the earth with which Allah held it [the
earth] not to be destroyed/swallowed with its people, so if the twelve from my family
will no longer be there, the earth will devour its inhabitants without delay [and you
shall not be observed]) 3
And from Abi Jafar a.s, he said, the Messenger of Allah sawas said: (From my
descendants there will be twelve noble supervisors, who are (Muhaddathun) persons
to whom angels speak and very intelligent. From them will be Al-Qaim who will fill the
earth with justice after being filled with injustice.") 4
And from Abi Abdullah a.s, from his Fathers, he said: the Messenger of Allah sawas said:
(Allah has chosen from among the days the day of Friday, and from among the months
the month of Ramadan, and from among the nights the night of Al-Qadr. And he has
chosen from among the people the prophets, and from among the prophets the
messengers, and he has chosen me from among the messengers, and he has chosen
from me Ali, and he has chosen from Ali Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein a.s, and he has
chosen from Al-Hussein the Guardians, and they are nine from the descendants of AlHussein who will take out from this religion the distortion of Al-Ghaliyyin and the
larceny of the falsifiers and the interpretation of the ignorant ones, the ninth of them
is the most apparent/evident among them, their spokesman and their Qaim, and he is
the best among them) 5
And what As-Sadiq a.s narrated from his fathers a.s, from the Messenger of Allah sawas,
he said: (Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!-three times-The similitude of my nation is like that
of rain which you cannot tell whether its beginning is better or its ending. The
similitude of my nation is like that of a garden from which some are fed this year and
others shall be fed next year. It may even be the case that the ones that are fed from it

later shall have a better, more lasting and higher yielding crop. How could a nation be
destroyed which starts out with me, and ends with twelve prosperous wise ones and
Jesus - the son of Mary is the last of them? However, those who make chaos shall be
destroyed. They are not of me and I am not of them) 1
And the Allama Ibn Ayyash (may Allah have mercy upon him) narrated in his book
Muqtadab Al-Athar by his isnad to Salman Al-Farisi, he said: we were with the
Messenger of Allah sawas and Al-Hussein Ibn Ali a.s was on his thigh, so he fixed his eye
on his face and said to him: (O Aba Abdullah, you are a master from among the
masters, and you are Imam son of Imam, brother of Imam and father of nine Imams,
the ninth of them is their Qaim, their Imam, the more knowledgeable among them,
the wisest and the best of them) 2
And many are the proofs about the Imamate of Ali and his eleven sons a.s and their
succession to the Messenger of Allah sawas, and perhaps the greatest of it [proofs] is : {Indeed,
We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree}
Because this Surah indicates that the Angels and the Spirit descend therein by the
permission of Allah after the Prophet sawas upon his infallible successors, or it will be said that
it is gone with the Prophet sawas, even though the Muslims are agreed upon its
permanence/existence, and here they are asking for it in the last ten days of Ramadan every
year, and whoever wants except stubbornness, let him say: a goat even if it flew!! [This proverb
is said of obstinate people who even refuse to be shown the truth. Two shepherds saw a black
object on the opposite side of the valley. One said that it was a heron. The other insisted it was
a goat. While in the heat of the argument the object flew away. The second man then said,
Didnt I tell you it was a bird? The first man answered, No. Its a goat, though it flew!]
Imam Al-Baqir a.s said: (O Shiites, argue by Surat {Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down
during the Night of Decree} and you shall succeed, because by Allah it is a proof of
Allah Almighty upon His creation after the Messenger of Allah sawas, and it is the lady
of your religion, and it is the purpose of our knowledge O Shiites. O Shiites, argue by
{Ha, Meem. By the clear Book} for it is especially for the rulers of the matter after the
Messenger of Allah sawas...) 3
And from As-Sadiq a.s, from his fathers, from the Prophet sawas, he said: (When I was
taken to the sky, my Lord Almighty inspired me... And he continued the Hadith until he
said: So I raised my head, and suddenly [I saw] the lights of Ali, Fatima, Al-Hasan, AlHussein, Ali Bin Al-Hussein, Muhammad, Jafar, Musa, Ali, Muhammad, Ali and AlHasan and Al-Hujja Ibn Al-Hasan Al-Qaim in their midst like a pearly star, I said: O
Lord, who are these? He said: these are the Imams, and this is Al-Qaim who allow My

halal and prevent My haram, and with him I shall revenge to My enemies, and he is a
comfort for My friends, and he is the one who cure the hearts of your Shia from the
oppressors, ungrateful ones and unbelievers, so Al-Lat and Al-Uzza or the first and
the second- will come out in flesh and he shall burn them, so the temptation of the
people by them in that day will be harder/stronger than the temptation of Calf and
Sameri) 1
And As-Saduq narrated in both Ikamal Ad-Din and Uyun Al-Akhbar Ar-Ridha a.s, he said:
from my father and Ibn Al-Walid both, and the Hadith was narrated [by a chain of
narrators] from Imam As-Sadiq, from Imam Al-Baqir a.s, from Jabeer Bin Abdullah AlAnsari that he saw in the hand of Fatima a.s a tablet which Allah Almighty gave to the
Messenger sawas, and the Messenger sawas gave to Fatima a.s, written in it: (In the
Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is a Book from Allah, the Mighty, the
Wise to Muhammad, His light, His ambassador, His veil and His proof. The trustworthy
spirit has descended with it from the Lord of the worlds. O Muhammad! Magnify my
names, be grateful for My bounties and do not deny My endowments. Verily I am
Allah, there is no god but Me, the Shattered of the giants/titans, the Destroyer of the
oppressors, the Degrader of the tyrants and the Establisher of the Day of Judgment 2,
Verily I am Allah, there is no god but Me. Whoever expects grace from other than Me
or fears other than My justice, I will punish him in such a way that I will not punish 3
anybody in this manner in the worlds. Hence, worship only Me and rely only on Me.
Indeed, I did not raise a messenger, completed his days and terminated his duration
but that I appointed for him a successor. Certainly, I made you superior over all other
Prophets and made your successor superior over all other successors. After him, I
honoured you with your two cubs 4 after him and your grandsons, Hasan and Husain 5,
I made Hasan the mine of My knowledge after the end of the days of his father and I
made Husain the treasure chest of My revelation, I honoured him with martyrdom and
sealed it for him with eternal bliss. So, he is the best of the martyrs and the highest of
them in grade. I have placed My perfect word with him and the complete proof near
him 6, Through his progeny, I shall reward and punish. The first of them is Ali, the chief
of the worshippers and the adornment of My past friends 7,then his son who
resembles his grandfather 8 al- Mahmood, Muhammad the splitter of My knowledge
and the mine of My wisdom. Soon, those who doubt concerning his son Jafar will be
destroyed. He who rejects him has rejected Me. I speak the truth, I will indeed honour

friends are not afflicted with misfortune. Beware! Whoever denies even one of them
has denied My bounty. Whoever changes one verse from My Book, then indeed has
attributed a lie unto Me. Then woe unto the liars, the deniers with the termination of
the duration of My servant, My beloved and My chosen one, Musa. (Behold) 3 Verily,
the one who denies the eighth is as if he has denied all My friends (Imams). Ali is My
friend, My helper and the one upon whom I have placed Prophethoods burden of
proof and conferred upon him 4 mastership. An arrogant devil will murder him. He will
be buried in a city, which the righteous servant has built, next to the worst of My
creatures. I speak the truth, I will soothe his eyes with Muhammad, his son 5 and his
successor after him. He is the heir of My knowledge, the mine of My wisdom, the place
of My joy and My proof upon My creatures. (None shall believe in him but) 6 that the
paradise will be his abode and I will allow him to intercede for seventy (thousand) 7 of
his family members, even if all of them are eligible for hell. I will complete his bliss
with his son Ali, My friend, My helper, My witness amongst My creatures and My
trustee upon My revelation. From him, I will bring the caller to My path and the
treasurer of My Knowledge Al-Hasan. Thereafter, I will complete this (chain of
Imamate) with his son, mercy for the worlds. He will possess the perfection of Musa,
the brightness of Isa and the patience of Ayyub 8 Soon, My friends will be humiliated in
his time and their heads will be gifted as trophies like the heads of the Turks and the
Dailamites. They will be killed, they will be burnt, they will live in a state of fear, terror
and trepidation. The earth will be coloured with their blood and wailing and sobbing
will be commonplace 9 among their womenfolk. They are My true friends! Through
them I will repel all blinding and dark mischief, remove the earthquakes and do away
with the burdens 10 and the chains. {They are those upon them is the blessings of their
Lord and mercy. And they are the guided ones}11) 12

Abd Ar-Rahman Ibn Salem said, Abu Basir said: (Even if you would hear no other
Hadith expect this it will be enough for you. Protect it against everyone except the deserving
people) 1
And the same was narrated from the Messenger of Allah sawas by the writing/hands of the
Prince of Believers (a.s.) in Al-Bihar 2
And even with all what Sahaba (companions) heard, and what they narrated from the
Messenger of Allah sawas and his positions with Ali a.s and his confirmation to follow him, and
to follow his eleven sons, the Guardians after him, the majority of Muslims chose to follow the
Imams of misguidance, and they fell into temptation of Calf and followed Sameri!! And they did
with Ali a.s at the death of the Prophet like Banu Israel did with Harun a.s at the absence of
Moses a.s, and like that, the apostasy which Allah warned them from falling into happened,
Almighty said: {Muhammad is not but a messenger. [Other] messengers have passed on
before him. So if he was to die or be killed, would you turn back on your heels [to unbelief]?
And he who turns back on his heels will never harm Allah at all; but Allah will reward the
grateful} 3 And the people turned back on their heels except for few nafr (From three to ten
men) from among the companions of the Prophet (sawas.) and they are Ammar, Abu Dhar, AlMiqdad and Salman. And then many Sahaba (companions) started to come back to the truth
and to the mowalat (adherence) to Ali a.s after they let him down and did not support his right
in the beginning, and after they saw the oppression which started to increase day after day due
to the domination of the sorcery and Evil over the leadership and the succession of the Prophet
sawas, and the dawawin of distinction started to give from the house of foundation until the
matter arrived to the point that Uthman gives the fifth of Africa to Marwan Ibn Al-Hakam 4, and
Muawia At-Taliq, the enemy of Islam, becomes the Wali (magistrate) of the Levant during the
reign of Umar, and controls Abu-Dhar (may Allah have mercy upon him) and humiliates him and
hurts him and expels him from the Levant, after Abu-Dhar exposed the luxury of Muawia and
his takeover of the money of Muslims, and finally Uthman hurried to kill Abu-Dhar (may Allah
have mercy upon him) by expelling him to Ar-Rabdha, and left him to die alone, defeated and
suffering from poverty and hunger, while the legacy/heritage of Abd Ar-Rahman Bin Awf from
gold breaks axes, and Talha, Uthman, Saad and others have a lot a lot, and if I dont say all of it,
then its the majority of the house of foundation of Muslims.

And whoever wants more, review the history of the people in the books of History 1
And if we asked Abu-Dhar (may Allah have mercy upon him) why all these pains and
calamities in your life, O Aba-Dhar?
He would have said what means: My beloved, the Messenger of Allah sawas said to me:
say the truth O Aba-Dhar, and I said the truth, and the truth left me with no friends 2
Blessed you are, O Abu Dhar, because your jailers were humiliated, and they did not kill
you, but you killed them, and they died in their lives, and you are until today alive in the hearts
of the believers, rather, you are with us and a high example in every heart of a noble and free
man, who asks the rights of the poor ones, the needy ones and the vulnerable ones wherever he
is.
And the saying of Master of the monotheists after the Messenger of Allah sawas, Ali bin
Abi Talib a.s is sufficient for you: (O' Abu Dharr! You showed anger in the name of Allah
therefore have hope in Him for Whom you became angry. The people were afraid of you in
the matter of their (pleasure of this) world while you feared them for your faith. Then leave to
them that for which they are afraid of you and get away from them taking away what you fear
them about. How needy are they for what you dissuade them from and how heedless are you
towards what they are denying you. You will shortly know who is the gainer tomorrow (on
the Day of Judgement) and who is more enviable. Even if these skies and earth were closed to
some individual and he feared Allah, then Allah would open them for him. Only rightfulness
should attract you while wrongfulness should detract you. If you had accepted their worldly
attractions they would have loved you and if you had shared in it they would have given you
asylum) 3.
And before this incident, many incidents and calamities inflicted upon the Islam and the
Muslims, Abu Bakr sent Khaled Ibn Al-Atl Az-Zanim to kill Malek Bin Nuwayra (may Allah be
pleased with him) and to assault his wife in the same night when he was killed, why? Because
Malek refused to pay Zakat of the money of Bani Tamim Al-Battah to Abu Bakr; because he is a
rapist of the succession of the Messenger of Allah from its owner whom Muslims know, and
they saw and heard the Messenger of Allah sawas assigning him as a successor of him in
Ghadeer Khum and in other events, and he is Ali ibn Abi Talib, and the strange thing is, that
Abbas Mahmood Al-Aqqad passed by the saying of Malek Bin Nuwayra:
Review the book of Al-Ghadeer from Sheikh Al-Amini: V8, Page 292, and after it; explanation of Nahj Al-Balagha
from Ibn Abi Hadid Al-Mutazali: V3, Page 54; and others
2
It was narrated in the commands of the Messenger Muhammad sawas to Abi Dhar a.s: (...I said: O Messenger of
Allah, tell me more. He said: speak the truth even if it was bitter. I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me more. He
said: Do not fear in Allah the blame of a critic...) Al-Amali from At-Tusi: Page 539-541

Nahj Al-Balagha: V2, Page 17
I told you to take your money (tax alms) with no fear and no worries of what happens
tomorrow, If someone assumes power, we will tell him, the only religion is the religion of
Muhammad 1
So he said: Most probably, that he wasted what he gathered from charities on his life
and amusement, and then he was reproached about that? So he answered his blamers by these
verses)!!
And If only I know, how did you read these verses, and understood this meaning?! And
the case is that the man is saying take your money, meaning: that he turned it to them. And
then after this, Al-Aqqad tries to make the murder of Malek Bin Nuwayra, and the assault on his
wife, mysterious, in which the crime of Abi Bakr and Khaled Ibn Al-Atl Az-Zanim is not shown, to
make after that, Khaled Bin Al-Walid genius and special, whom Jihad occupied him from learning
one Surah of the Quran to read in his prayer when he leads the prayer for Muslims, what is this
equity O Aqqad, (And why O Saad you are giving water to camels in that way) (proverb said to
those who do not improve their work or do not do it in the required way).
Sufficient for us is Allah, and [He is] the best Disposer of affairs, and those who are
taking people into attacking the family of Muhammad are going to know to what [kind of]
return they will be returned. And anyways, the matter is great/dangerous after the death of the
Prophet sawas, and the illegal and unfair practices are too many, and the incident of Malek Bin
Nuwayra is sufficient for the one who listens while he is present [in mind], and the blood,
money and the interests of Muslims were violated, so does anything remain?!
And someone can ask: why Ali Bin Abi Talib did not raise his sword, and why the
Messenger of Allah sawas asked from him to be patient in oppression after him?!
And even if the answer is in what I presented in the research and in the saying of the
Prince of Believers a.s: (If I speak out they would call me greedy towards power but if I keep
quiet they would say I was afraid of death. It is a pity that after all the ups and downs (I have
been through). By Allah the son of Abu Talib is more familiar with death than an infant with
the breast of his mother. I have hidden knowledge, if I disclose it you will start trembling like
ropes in deep wells) 2.
But, it is quite to clarify little bit, and I mention here two reasons:
The First: Islam did not settle in the hearts of people, because their Islam is apparent
and [it is] not a true and firm faith which cannot be feared that its people apostate, because
their state is like the state of she who untwisted her spun thread after it was strong, except for
Review Tarjamat Malek Bin Nuwayra in Al-iSaba: V5, Page 560; Wafayat Al-ayan from Ibn Khalkan: V6, Page14;
Maalim Al-Madrasatayn: V2, Page 82

Nahj Al-Balagha: V1, Page 36
few from among them, Almighty said: {The bedouins say, "We have believed." Say, "You have
not [yet] believed; but say [instead], 'We have submitted,'} 1.
And Almighty said: {And if they had been entered upon from all its [surrounding]
regions and fitnah had been demanded of them, they would have done it and not hesitated
over it except briefly} 2.
And in the Quran, many verses are indicating that the state of many Muslims is shaky,
and with the presence of the hypocrites, you can know the result, and based on this, the
Guardian has to be satisfied with the apparent, and to be patient like the Messenger of Allah
sawas was satisfied with the apparent and was patient with the hypocrites, and the one who
listens to their words. Otherwise, this construction which the Messenger of Allah sawas and his
Guardian a.s strained, for more than twenty years to build, will be demolished. Because the
great benefit which is hoped from this religion is the perfection of the light of Allah on His earth,
the worship of the people of the earth of Allah, and the spreading of the word there is no god
but Allah.
And the lifting of the banner Allahu Akbar Allah is greater on every spot of the earth
will not be realized in the time of the Prophet sawas or the Guardian, rather, [it will be realized]
in the time of the seal of Guardians Al-Mahdi a.s, and this is a divine Sunah in the previous
nations, because Moses was sent to the people of Banu Israel and they crossed the sea with
him, but in the desert of Sinai they rebelled against him and refused to fight the Giants.
Almighty said {They said: "O Moses, we shall never, never enter so long as they are
there. Go you and your Lord to fight them; we stay here."} 3. And therefore, they refused to
carry the word of there is no god but Allah to the people, and Allah Almighty punished them
with Wilderness (At-Tih) in the desert of Sinai for forty years.
And the result of this Wilderness was, the reforming punishment, the coming of a
righteous divine nation, and they are the sons of these reprobates and their grandsons, and
they have lifted the word of there is no god but Allah with Joshua son of Nun the Guardian of
Moses a.s, and they fought the Giants and the tyrants and they gave victory to the religion of
Allah on His earth.
So the result which is hoped from this nation is in the End of Times, meaning in the time
of the appearance of Al-Mahdi a.s, and we hope from Allah that our time is like many narrations
indicated, and Allah knows the best.

And it was mentioned before, from the Messenger of Allah sawas, he said: (...the
example of my nation is like a garden, whenever a horde is fed, the latest is the largest, the
deepest, the longest and the best...) 1.
So, the Messenger is hoping that the latest horde from his nation be the best of them,
rather, perhaps this nation, meaning the companions of Al-Mahdi (a.s) and his supporters
(Ansars) are not joined with the ones who preceded them, whether from this nation or from
others along the march of humanity on earth, and they were described in the Qudsi Hadith:
(..And I chose for that time servants for Myself, whom I tested their hearts with faith, and I
filled them [hearts] with devoutness, sincerity, certainty, piety, reverence, honesty, clemency,
patience, veneration, fear of Allah, asceticism in the world, and the desire with what I have,
and I shall make them callers of the sun and the moon, and I shall make them successors on
earth... those are My friends, I chose for them a chosen Prophet, and an acceptable/agreeable
secretary (faithful), so I made him a Prophet and a Messenger for them, and I made them
friends and supporters for him, this is a nation I chose...) 2.
And the narrations from the people of the house of infallibility a.s concerning the virtue
of the companions of Al-Mahdi a.s and his Ansars are many, and the lifting of the word of Allah
and spreading monotheism in every corner of the globe is enough for their virtues.
Secondly: The patience of the Prince of Believers a.s was an extreme proof for him,
because he clarified/showed his right and then he refused to dispute with the people [about]
the Emirate and governance, to show that he a.s is ascetic for this Emirate, but his request for it
was for establishing the truth, spreading justice and supporting the religion, and the Prince of
Believers a.s had a future insight, trough centuries, about the rest of this nation and their sons,
and he knew that they will know what the removing of the guardian from his Emirate, and
violating his right by false deities and evil powers brought to them, until it reached the point of
the domination of the sons of adulterous and prostitutes over this nation, and you passed by
this meaning in the sermon of Az-Zahra a.s where she said: (I swear on my life, destiny has
conceived; so wait, until its fruit comes about; then milk full buckets of fresh blood and fatal
poison; at that time, the dealers of untruth shall suffer; and the ones who come to follow
shall know the evil which their forefathers have established) 3.
And at the end, the succession came back to Imam Ali a.s after , and he urged
people to the truth and he directed them to the Qibla and to the straight path, but they did not
handle the bitterness of the truth, and after they had performed their purpose concerning the
deviation from the straight path, they did not handle the justice of Ali a.s and his equality to
them by generosity, after they got used to distinction and selfishness from the previous ones, so
after they got used to worship the Calf and to obey Sameri, they did not like to obey Ali and to
worship Allah, the One the Indivisible, and to accept His Sharia which Ali a.s wanted to work by

in a society torn by the corruption of the previous ones, nevertheless, Ali a.s has lifted a banner
for the truth and guided people to follow it, but they let him down and let down his infallible
sons after him who spared no effort in promoting virtue and preventing evil for the sake of
guiding Muslims to the straight path until they remained between poisoned and chopped with
swords.
From Abi Haytham Ibn At-Tihan, that the Prince of Believers a.s gave a sermon to the
people at Al-Medina, so he said: (All praise is due to Allah besides whom there is no god but
Him, O you community which has been deceived, and understood the deception of the
deceiver who deceived it, but still persisted upon what it recognised, and wandered randomly
in its seduction. And the truth had been clarified but they still turned away from it, and the
path was made clear but they still deviated from it. But, by the One Who split the seed and
stemmed life from it, had you sought the knowledge from its Mine, and drank the water with
its sweetness, and kept the good in its place, and take the path which was clear, and
approached the truth by its programme the way would have been set out for you, and the
signs would have appeared to you, and Islam would have been illuminated for you. So you
would have eaten plentiful, and there would have been no breadwinner among you who
would have failed (to earn), nor any justice would have been done to any Muslim or allies.
But, you walked upon the path of darkness, so your world became dark for you by its
vastness. And the doors of knowledge were closed to you so you spoke from your own
desires, and differed in your religion, and started issuing verdicts (Fatwas) in the religion of
Allah without (being blessed with the) knowledge. And you followed the misguided people so
they misguided you, and you abandoned the Imams a.s so they abandoned you. So you took
control (of your own affairs) through judging by your own desire. When a matter was
mentioned, you asked the people of the Remembrance, so they issued a verdict (Fatwa) to
you, you said, This is exactly the knowledge. So how come you have abandoned him, and
neglected him, and opposed him? Slowly (But surely), just wait a little while, and you will
harvest all of what you have cultivated, and you will find the evil of what you have done and
sought.
And by the One Who split the seed and stemmed life from it, you knew that I was your
Master and the one whom you had been commanded (for being obedient to), and I am more
knowledgeable than you all and the one by whose knowledge was your salvation, and the
successor of your Prophet, and the best of your Lord, and the tongue (speaker) for your light
(guidance), and the knowledge by which you can correct yourselves. So slowly (but surely)
what has been narrated will descend upon you all, what has been promised, that which
descended upon the communities before you. And Allah Mighty and Majestic will question
you all about your Imams with whom you will be raised, and to Allah Mighty and Majestic you
will be going to tomorrow. But, by Allah, if I had for me the number of companions which
Talut had, or the number of the people at Badr who oppose your enemies, I would have struck
by the sword until you would have come to the truth, and you would have repented sincerely.
So that would have been more suitable than mending the rifts and taking to friendliness. Our
Allah, judge between us with the truth, and you are the Best of the Judges) 1.

psychological and physical harm for the sake of this noble objective, and that is that the believe
of people of the earth believe in there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger.
The second: guardianship of the covenant for Imam Ar-Ridha a.s
And the second is the guardianship of the covenant for Imam Ar-Ridha a.s which he
accepted after Al-Mamun Al-Abbasi forced him to it, and it is the example of the ministry of
Yusuf a.s to the king of Egypt which was by force, even if it had some benefit for the people, so
it is then a temptation and a test for the believers like Allah Almighty tested Bani Israel when He
made Moses a.s grow up and live in the palace of the tyrant Pharaoh (may Allah curse him), so
this is like: {Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be
tried? But We have certainly tried those before them, and Allah will surely make evident
those who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.} 1.
And finally, Al-Mamun a.s Al-Abbasi poisoned Imam Ar-Ridha a.s, after Al-Mamun
found himself incapable of weakening the work of Imam Ar-Ridha a.s, in spite of him being in his
palace and under his rulership.
And like that, the life of Imams a.s the Guardians of the seal Prophet sawas, an image of
life of the previous Prophets on this earth. They were between a bossy tyrant who was
transgressing their holy blood, and whoever followed him or relied on him from the nonworking scholars, and a nation which let them down and chose to worship the Calf and to follow
Sameri, except for a few who honoured the covenant of Allah, and when the matter arrived to
the seal of Guardians a.s, the remnant of Allah on His earth, Muhammad Ibn Hasan Al-Mahdi
a.s, Allah wanted that he is away from the eyes of the people and tyrants, to protect by his
protection the Quran and Sharia until He permits him to appear and to show the truth when
the nation is ready to support him, and it was mentioned from him a.s: (As for the reason of
what happened from the occultation, Allah Almighty said: {O you who have believed, do not
ask about things which, if they are shown to you, will distress you}) 2.
And the sign is sufficient for the free one, and peace be upon the light of Allah on His
earth and His remnant among His servants whom his fathers a.s named the oppressed one, and
he is truly the oppressed one even from his Shia who are barely mentioning him being in
occultation and sever affliction.
And may the peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon the believing men and women.
