Hadith 24

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) (and) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – And by the chain going up to Abu Muhammad-asws having said so one of his-asws students, when a group of the ones in Wilayah and love of the Progeny-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww had gathered in his-asws presence, and they said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! There is a neighbour of ours from the Nasibis hurting us and argues against us regarding the preference of the first (Abu Bakr), and the second (Umar) and the third (Usman), over Ali Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and gives arguments against us, we do not know how to answer these and the exit from these? ’
He-asws said: ‘Pass by those (Nasibis) when they have gathered, speaking, and listen to them. When they demand the speech from you, then speak, and make their companions understand, and break his prestige and his arguments, and do not leave anything remaining for him’. The man went and attended the place, and they were present, and the man spoke, and made him understand, and he became such that he did not know whether he was in the sky or in the earth. They said, ‘There occurred upon us the happiness and the joy, none knows the extent of it except Allah-azwj the Exalted, and upon the (Nasibi) man there was such grief and gloom for him the like of what we faced from the cheerfulness. When we returned to the Imam-asws, he-asws said to us: ‘That which was in the skies, from the happiness and the glee with the breaking of this enemy of Allah-azwj was more than what was in your presence, and that which was in the presence of Iblees-la and the exceeders of his-la obstinate ones, from the grief and the gloom, was more severe that was in your presence. And there had sent blessings upon this breaker, the Angels of the sky and the Veils, and the Chair, and Allah-azwj has Accepted it with the Answering, therefore honourable is his prestige and great are his Rewards. And those Angels had cursed the enemy of Allah-azwj, the broken one, and Allah-azwj Accepted it with the Answering, so He-azwj Intensified His-azwj Reckoning, and Prolonged his Punishment’’. [23]
