Hadith 389

(The book) ‘Uyoon Al Mojizaat’, attributed to the Seyyid Al Murtaza, from Ali Bin Mihran, from Dawood Bin Kaseer Al Raqyy who said, ‘We were in the house of Abu Abdullah-asws and we were discussion merits of the Prophets-as. He-asws said in answer to us: ‘By Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj did not Create any Prophet-as except and Muhammad-saww is superior to him-as’. Then he-asws removed his-asws ring and placed it upon the ground and spoke something. The ground cracked and was cleft asunder by the Power of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and behold, we were with a noisy ocean, in the midst of it was a green ship from green emeralds, and in the middle of it was a dome from white jewels. Around it was a green house, there was written upon it: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, Ali-asws is Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Receive good news of Al-Qaim-asws, for he-asws will be fighting the enemies and help the Momineen, and the Mighty and Majestic would Help him-asws with the Angels of the number of stars in the sky”. Then he-asws spoke with a speech upon it, the water of the ocean rose up with the ship. He-asws said: ‘Enter it! ’ We entered the dome which was in the ship, and there were four chairs in it from a variety of jewels. He-asws sat upon one of them and seated me upon one, and Musa-asws and Ismail, each one of them sat upon a chair. Then he-asws said to the ship: ‘Travel by the Power of Allah-azwj the Exalted! ’ So it sailed in the turbulent ocean between mountains of gems and rubies. Then he-asws inserted his-asws hand in the sea and extracted jewels and rubies. He-asws said: ‘O Dawood! If you want the world, then take your need! ’ I said, ‘O my Master-asws! There is no need for me regarding the world’. He-asws threw them back into the sea and inserted his-asws hand in the sea and extracted musk and ambergris. He-asws smelt it and made me smell, and Musa-asws and Ismail smelt. Then he-asws threw it back into the sea. And the ship sailed until we ended to a large island in what was between that ocean, and therein were domes of white gems, furnished with silk and brocade, upon them were purple curtains, surrounded by the Angels. When they looked at us, they came submitting to him-asws with the obedience, acknowledging to him-asws with the Wilayah. I said, ‘My Master-asws! For whom are these domes? ’ He-asws said: ‘For the Imams-asws from offspring of Muhammad-saww. Every time an Imam-asws is Recalled, he-asws comes to this place until the known times which Allah-azwj the Exalted has Mentioned’. Then he-asws said: ‘Arise with us-asws until we greet unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws’. We stood up and he-asws stood up, and we went to the door of one of the adorned domes, and it was their most majestic, and largest, and we greeted unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he-asws was seated in it. Then he-asws turned to another dome, and we turned with him-asws. He-asws greeted and we greeted unto Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws. And we turned from it to a dome facing it. We greeted unto Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, then to Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, then to Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, each one of them-asws being in an adorned dome, decorated. Then he-asws turned to a building in the island, and we turned with him-asws, and therein was a mighty dome of white gems, adorned with a variety of furnishings and curtains, and there was a bed of gold therein, inlaid with a variety of jewels. I said, ‘O my Master-asws! For whom is this dome? ’ He-asws said: ‘For Al-Qaim-asws from us-asws, People-asws of the Household, Master-asws of the time’. Then he-asws gestured by his-asws hand and spoke something, and behold, we were above the ground at Al-Medina in the house of Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, and he-asws extracted his-asws ring and sealed the ground with his-asws hands, so neither was any crack seen therein, nor any crevice’’. [271]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Abu Al Faraj Al Asfahany in ‘Kitab Al Maqatil’, by his chain from Isa Bin Abdullah who said, ‘It is narrated to me by my mother Umm Husayn Bint Abdullah Bin Muhammad, son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, she said, ‘I said to my uncle Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws. What is this matter of Muhammad? ’
He-asws said: ‘A Fitna! Muhammad will be killed by the house of Roumy, and his brother to his mother and his father would be killed at Al-Iraq. The hooves of his horse would be in the water’’. [272]
And by his chain from Ibn Dahah –
‘Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said to Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan: ‘By Allah-azwj! This command (caliphate) wouldn’t (come) to you, nor to your son, and rather it is for this one, meaning Al-Safah. Then it would be to this one, meaning Al-Mansour. Then to his son after him. It will not cease to be among them until they make the children to rule and consult the women! ’
Abdullah said, ‘By Allah-azwj, O Ja’far-asws! Allah-azwj has not Notified you-asws upon the hidden matters, and you-asws are not saying this except out of envy to my son! ’
He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj! I-asws am not envying your son, and this one, meaning Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) will kill him upon the oil rocks, then he will kill his brother after him at Al-Tufoof, and the legs of his horse would be in water’. Then he stood up angrily dragging his cloak. Abu Ja’far followed him and said, ‘Do you know what Abu Abdullah-asws said? ’ He said, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj! I do know, and it will be happening’. He (the narrator) said, ‘It is narrated to me by the one who heard Abu Ja’far saying, ‘I left immediately and arranged my work, and distinguished my affairs, discerning the owner for it. When Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) ruled the caliphate, he named Ja’far-asws as ‘Al-Sadiq’, and whenever he mentioned him-asws would say, ‘Al-Sadiq (the truthful) Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said to me such and such’. He remained upon it’’. [273]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Muhammad Al Mashady in ‘Al Mazar Al Kabeer’, by his chain from Sufyan Al Sowry who said, ‘I heard Al-Sadiq Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws and he-asws was at Arafaat, saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! Make these steps of mine-asws which I am taking in Your-azwj obedience, to be an expiation of what steps I-asws took in Your-azwj disobedience’. And he-asws continued the supplication up to his-asws words: ‘And I-asws am Your-azwj guest, so Make my-asws dwelling to be the Paradise, and Feed me-asws grapes and dates! ’
Sufyan said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have thought of descending and buy some dates and bananas for him-asws and say to him-asws, ‘This is instead of the grapes and the dates’, and there I was with two baskets filled, having been placed in front of him-asws, one of them dates, and the other one with grapes’. –complete Hadeeth’’.
