Hadith 92

deeth similar to it except and he-asws said in it: ‘But the earth cannot be vacant from one standing with His-azwj Arguments lest the Arguments of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Proofs are invalidated’, and did not mention in it (the words), ‘Apparent, well-known nor fearful, hidden’, and said in its end: ‘Whenever you like, so arise (to leave)’’. And we were narrated with by Bakr Bin Ali Al Shahsy, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ibrahim Al Bazaz Al Shafie, from Zarar, from Aasim, from Al Sumali, from Abdul Rahman, from Kumeyl who said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws grabbed my hand to go to an area of Al-Jabban. When it was pre-dawn he-asws sat down, then took a deep breath, then said: ‘O Kumeyl Bin Ziyad! Memorise what I-asws am saying to you. The hearts are containers, the best of these are retainers. The people are three – a spiritual scholar, and a learner upon the way of salvation, and a riff-raff savage following every croaker’ – and mentioned the Hadeeth with its length up to its end’’. And we have been narrated with it by Ali Bin Abdullah Al Aswary, from Makky Bin Ahmad, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Sayrafi, from Muhammad Bin Idrees, from Ismail Bin Musa, from Aasim, from Al Sumali, form Abdul Rahman, from Kumeyl who said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws grabbed my hand and brought me out to Al-Jabban. When it was pre-dawn, he-asws sat down, then took a deep breath, then said: ‘O Kumeyl Bin Ziyad! The hearts are container, the best of these are retainers’ – and mentioned similar to it’’. And we were narrated with it by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Saqar, from Musa Bin Is’haq, from Zarar, from Aasim, from Al Sumali, from Abdul Rahman, from Kumeyl, and we were narrated with it by Abu Muhammad Bakr Bin Ail Al Shahsy, from Muhammad in Abdullah Al Shafie, from Bashir Bin Musa, from Ubeyd Bin Al Haysam, from Is’haq Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Al Fazl Bin Al Habaj, from Hisham Bin Muhammad Al Saib, from Abu Mikhnaf Lut Bin Yahya, from Fuzeyl Bin Khadeej, from Kumeyl who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws grabbed my hand at Al-Kufa and we went out until we ended up to Al-Jaban’ – and mentioned in it: ‘O Allah-azwj! The earth cannot be vacant from one standing for Allah-azwj with His-azwj Arguments, either apparent, well-known, or hidden, obscure, let the Arguments of Allah-azwj and His-azwj proofs are invalidated’. And he-asws said at the end of it: ‘Leave whenever you like to’’. [91]
