Hadith 379

In one of the ancient books of the virtues, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Shazan, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘I was seated in front of the Prophet-saww on day, and in front of him-saww were Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, when Jibraeel-as came down, and with him-as was an apple. He-as welcomed with the Prophet-saww with it, so the Prophet-saww welcomed it, and welcomed Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws with it. Ali-asws welcomed it, and kissed it and returned it to Rasool-Allah-azwj. Rasool-Allah-saww welcomed it and welcomed Al-Hassan-asws with it, and Al-Hassan-asws welcomed it and kissed it and returned it to Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww welcomed it, and welcomed Al-Husayn-asws with it. Al-Husayn-asws welcomed it and kissed it and returned it to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww welcomed it and welcomed (Syeda) Fatima-asws with it. She-asws welcomed it and kissed it and returned it to the Prophet-saww. He-saww welcomed the fourth (time) and welcomed Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws with it. Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws welcomed it. When he-asws thought of returned it to Rasool-Allah-saww, the apple fell from between his-asws nails and it split into two halves. A light shone from it reaching to the sky of the world, and there were two lines written upon it: “In the Name of Allah-azwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. A Welcome from Allah-azwj the Exalted to Muhammad Al-Mustafa-saww, and Ali Al-Murtaza-asws, and Fatima Al-Zahra-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, two grandsons-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and there would be security for ones loving them-asws on the Day of Qiyamah from the Fire’’. [200]
And from Ibn Shazan, by his chain from Zazan, ‘From Salman-ra having said, ‘I-ra came to the Prophet-saww. I-ra greeted unto him-saww, then entered to see (Syeda) Fatima-asws. She-asws said: ‘O Abdullah! These two, Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are hungry, crying, so hold their-asws hands and go out with them-asws to their-asws grandfather-saww’. So I-ra held their-asws hands and carried them-asws until I-ra came with them-asws to the Prophet-saww. He-saww said: ‘What is the matter with you-asws two, O my-saww excellent ones? ’ They-asws said: ‘We desire food, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj, Feed them-asws! ’ – thrice. He (Salman-ra) said, ‘I-ra looked, and there was a quince in the hand of Rasool-Allah-saww, resembling a vegetable from the far desert, being intensely whiter than the snow, and sweeter than the honey, and softer than the butter. He-saww separated it with his-saww thumb and made it into two halves, then handed half of it to Al-Hassan-asws and half of it to Al-Husayn-asws. I-ra went on to look at the two halves in their-asws hands and I-ra was desiring it. He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! This is food from the Paradise. No one shall eat it until he would be rescued from the Reckoning’’. [201]
And by his chain from Al Tabrany, by his chain, ‘From Salman-ra having said, ‘We were around the Prophet-saww, and Umm
