Hadith 349

(The books) ‘Kahf Al Ghumma’, (and), ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Muhajir who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘So and so conveys the greetings to you, and so and so, and so and so (as well)’. He-asws said: ‘And upon them be the greetings’. I said, ‘They asked you-asws for the supplication’. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with them? ’ I said, ‘Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour has imprisoned them’. He-asws said: ‘And what was for them and for him? ’ I said, ‘He utilised them, so he imprisoned them’. He-asws said: ‘And what is for them and for him? Didn’t I-asws forbid them worries of the fire? ’ Then he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Take his authority away from them’. He (the narrator) said, ‘We left, and behold, they were coming out, and it reached Al-Sadiq-asws, words of Al-Hakeem Bin Al-Abbas Al-Kalby, ‘We crucified Zayd for you all upon a trunk of a palm tree, and I did not see a ‘Mahdi’ being crucified upon a trunk, and you are comparing Ali-asws with Usman foolishly, and Usman is better than Ali-asws and best’. Al-Sadiq-asws raised his-asws hands towards the sky, and they were shaking. He-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! If Your-azwj servant was lying, then Cause Your-azwj dog to overcome upon him! ’
The clan of Umayya sent him to Al-Kufa. While he was going around in its markets when a lion ravaged him, and his news arrive to Ja’far-asws. He-asws fell in Sajdah to Allah-azwj, then said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Fulfilled for us what He-azwj had Promised us-asws’’. [207]
