Hadith 181

From the book ‘Uyoon Al Mo’jizaat’, attributed to Seyyid Al Murtaza – ‘It is reported from my father Khalid Kankar Al Kabuly having said, ‘Yahya Ibn Umm Al-Taweel, may Allah-azwj Raise his rank, met me, and he is a son of the midwife of Zayn Al-Abideen. He held my hand, and I went with him to him-asws. I saw him-asws seated in a room furnished with the walls whitewashed with lime. Upon him-asws were dyed clothes. I did not prolong the sitting to him-asws. When I got up, he-asws said to me: ‘Come to me tomorrow morning, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’. I went out from his-asws presence and said to Yahya, ‘You entered me to see a man wearing the dyed clothes, and I am determined upon not returning to him-asws’. Then I thought that returning to him-asws would not be harmful. So I went to him-asws in the morning, and found the door open, and I did not see anyone. I thought of the returning. He-asws called out to me from inside the house. I thought he-asws intended other than me, until he-asws shouted for me: ‘O Kankar, enter! ’ And this was a name my mother had named me with, and no one had known of it apart from me. I entered to see him-asws. I found him-asws seated in the room of clay upon a mat of papyrus, and upon him-asws was a shirt of white cotton, and in his-asws presence was Yahya. He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Khalid! I-asws am near to the time of my-asws marriage, and that which you saw yesterday is from the view of the wife, and I-asws did not want to oppose her’. Then he-asws stood up and held my hand and hand of Yahya Ibn Umm Al-Taweel, and he-asws went with us to one of the streams and said: ‘Pause! ’ We paused looking at him-asws. He-asws said: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, and he-asws walked upon the water until we saw his-asws heels looming above the water. I said, ‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest! You-asws are the greatest Word, and the mighty Divine Authority! May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon you! ’
Then he-asws turned towards us and said: ‘There are three (people) Allah-azwj will not Look at them on the Day of Judgement, nor will He Purify them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [3: 77] – the one entering to be among us-asws although he isn’t from us-asws, and the one exiting from us-asws, one who is from us-asws, and the one saying that there is a share in for them both. I-asws mean these two types’’. [253]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Abu Al Hadeed, from Sufyan Al Sowry, from Amro Bin Murrah, from Abu Al Bakhtary who said, ‘A man heaped praises upon Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws in his-asws face, but (in fact) he used to hate him-asws. He-asws said: ‘I-asws am lower than what you are saying, and above what is within yourself (thoughts)’’. [254]
