Hadith 153

ou as a flag’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Your Recompense will not be wasted, and Allah-azwj will Fulfil every soul of what it had done of the good deeds’. Then he-asws said: ‘O Hanafiite! Didn’t your mother bear you during a time of drought, the sky had prevented its drops, and the earth of its vegetations, and the springs and the rivers had dried up until the animals were in want of the pastures, but they could not find anything, and your mother said to you, ‘You are an inauspicious bearing in a time of no Blessings’. When it was after nine months, she was in her dream as if she had given you birth and she was saying, ‘You were an inauspicious bearing in a time without Blessings’, and it is as if you were saying, ‘O my mother! Do not feel an evil omen with me, for I am a Blessed bearing. I shall grow a Blessed growth, righteous, and a chief would possess me, and I shall be Blessed with a son from him who would become an honour for the Hanafiites’. She said, ‘You-asws speak the truth’. He-asws said: ‘It is like that, and the son-saww of my-asws uncle-as Rasool-Allah-saww informed me-asws with it’. She said, ‘What is the sign which is between me and my mother? ’ He-asws said to her: ‘When she placed you, your speech and the dream were written down in a tablet of brass and deposited at the threshold of the door. When it was two years, she displayed it to you and you acknowledged with it. When it was after six years, she presented it to you and you acknowledged with it. Then she gathered between you and the tablet and she said to you, ‘O daughter! When it befalls with you the spilling of your blood, and plunder of your wealth, and captivity of your offspring, and you get captured among the ones captured, then take the tablet with you and strive that no one from the community speaks to you except one who informed you with the dream and with what is in this tablet’. She said, ‘You-asws speak the truth, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! ’ Then she said, ‘So where is this tablet? ’ He-asws said: ‘It is in your basket’. At that, she handed over the tablet to Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. Thus, he-asws possessed her, by Allah-azwj, O Abu Ja’far-asws, due to what was manifested from his-asws argument and proven from his-asws proofs. May Allah-azwj Curse the one to whom the truth is clarified, then (still) rejects his-asws right and his-asws merits, and makes a veil to be between him and the truth’’. [48]
