Hadith 214

(The book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashy – Muhammad Bin Masoud who said, ‘Yusuf Bin Al Sukht said, ‘Ali son of Ja’far-asws was a representative of Abu Al-Hassan-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, and he was a man from the people of Humeyniya, a town from the towns of the outskirts of Baghdad. He was taken with to Al-Mutawakkil. He imprisoned him. His imprisonment was prolonged, and he was victimised from the direction of Abdul Rahman Bin Khaqan with some wealth he had guaranteed on his behalf for three thousand Dinars, and Ubeydullah (Bin Khaqan, minister of Al-Mutawakkil) spoke to him. He presented his situation to Al-Mutawakkil. He said, ‘O Ubeydullah! If I were to doubt regarding you, I would say you are a Rafizite (Shia). This is a representative of so and so, and I am about to kill him’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The news was delivered to Ali son of Ja’far-asws. He wrote to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘O my Master-asws! Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj regarding me! By Allah-azwj, I am fearing from being suspicious’. He-asws wrote in his-asws note: ‘But, when the matter has reached with you what I-asws see, I-asws shall aim for Allah-azwj regarding you’. And this happened on the night of Friday. In the morning Al-Mutawakkil was feverish it and increased upon him until there were shouts upon him on the day of Monday. He ordered with freeing every prisoner his name was presented to him, until he mentioned Ali son of Ja’far-asws. And he said to Ubeydullah, ‘Why did you not present his matter unto me? ’ He said, ‘I will not return to mentioning him, ever! ’
He said, ‘Free his way and ask him to make me to be in a release! ’ His way was freed, and he came to Makkah by the instructions of Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and being in the vicinity of it, and Al-Mutawakkil was cured from his illness’’. [76]
