Hadith 1

nies his being alive. And this as well is a word of deviation, and the entirety of what we have narrated after the first from the words, it is new, the group is sheltering to it in desperation due to the confusion and their separating from the truth. And the original is well known what we have narrated from the word of the famous community with the imamate of Abu Al-Qasim after his two brothers-asws (Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and the termination upon his lifetime, and that he is Al-Qaim-asws along with that there does no remain any word for the Kaysaniyya, and they have become extinct to the extent that no one from them is being recognised in these times except what is being narrated, and its correctness is not recognised. And it has been reported by Abdullah Bin Ata’a, ‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘I-asws buried my-asws uncle Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya and shook off from my-asws hands the soil of his grave’’. Words of the Prophet-saww regarding Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws: ‘These two sons-asws of mine-asws are both Imams-asws whether standing or sitting’. The sheykh, may Allah-azwj Make his honour permanent said, ‘Then the Imamites did not cease to be upon the word of the systematic Imamate until its words divided after the expiry of Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws. A sect from it said that Abu Abdullah-asws is alive, he-asws did not die and will not be dying until he-asws appears and fills the earth with fairness and justice like what it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny, because he-asws is Al-Qaim-asws, Al-Mahdi-asws. And they are linking it with a Hadeeth reported by a man called Anbasah Bin Mus’ab, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘If there comes to you someone informing you about me-asws that he washed me-asws and enshrouded me-asws and buried me-asws, so do not ratify him’. And this sect is named as ‘Al-Nawawasya’, and rather it has been named with that because their chief in this word is a man from the people of Al-Basra called Abdullah Bin Nawawas. And another sect said that Abu Abdullah-asws died and texted upon his-asws son Ismail son of Ja’far-asws, and he is the Imam-asws after him-asws, and he is Al-Qaim-asws, the awaited, and rather it is confusing upon the people regarding his matter of the command his father-asws had seen. And a sect from them said that Ismail had died upon the reality during the era of his father-asws, apart from that he-asws had texted before his-asws expiry upon his-asws son Muhammad, and he was the Imam-asws after him-asws, and they are the Qaramatah, and they are Al-Mubarakiya, and they are attributed to Al-Qaramatah by a man from the people of the majority called Qarmatawiya, and they are attributed to Al-Mubarakiya by a man named as Al-Mubarak, slave of Ismail son of Ja’far-asws, Al-Qaramitah are adversaries of Al-Mubarakiya, and Al-Mubarakiya, their ancestors. And a sect from them said that the one who texted upon Muhammad son of Ismail, he-asws is Al-Sadiq-asws, besides Ismail, and that was Obligated upon him because he is more rightful with the command after his father-asws than others are, and because the Imamate cannot be in two brothers after Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws. And they are the three sects. They are the Ismailis, and rather they were named with that due to their claiming the imamate of Ismail. As for their reason regarding the text upon Ismail, it is that they said that Ismail was the eldest son of Ja’far-asws, and it is not allowed that he-asws should text upon other than the eldest. They said, and they have united the ones who oppose us upon that Abu Abdullah texted upon Ismail, apart from that they claimed that there was a change of Decision for Allah-azwj regarding him, and this is a word we do not accept from them. And another sect said that Abu Abdullah-asws expired and the Imam-asws after him-asws is Muhammad-asws son of Ja’far-asws. And they reasoned regarding that by a Hadeeth linking with it, and it is that Abu Abdullah-asws, upon what they are claiming, was seated in his-asws house, and Muhammad entered to see him-asws, and he was a young child. He returned to him-asws, tripped in his shirt and fell to his face. Abu Abdullah-asws stood up to him and kissed him and wiped off the soil from his face and hugged him to his-asws chest
