Hadith 116

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Fulan Al Rafie who said, ‘There was a cousin of mine called Al-Hassan Bin Abdullah, and he was from the most worshipping of the people of his time, and the ruler used to meet him and sometimes he would welcome the ruler with difficult speech advising him, and instructing him with the good deeds, and the ruler used to tolerate that to him due his interests. This state did not cease to be until it was the day Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws entered the Masjid. He-asws saw him and drew him near, then said to him: ‘O Abu Ali-asws! I-asws do not like what (state) you are in, and I-asws do get cheered with you, except that there isn’t any understanding for you, so go and seek the understanding’. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And what is the understanding? ’ He-asws said to him: ‘Go and ponder and seek the Hadeeth’. He said, ‘From whom? ’ He-asws said: ‘From Anas Bin Malik and the jurists of the people of Al-Medina, then present the Hadeeth to me-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He went and spoke with them, then came (back) to him-asws and recited it to him-asws. He-asws dropped all of it, then said: ’ Go and seek the understanding’, and the was a supporter of his-asws Religion. Abu Al-Hassan-asws did not cease to be with him until he-asws went out to an estate of his-asws and he followed him-asws, and met him-asws in the road. He said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I am needy to you in front of Allah-azwj, so point me upon the understanding’. He-asws informed him about Amir Al-Momineen-asws and said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was after Rasool-Allah-saww’ and informed him with the matter of Abu Bakr and Umar. He accepted from him-asws. Then he said, ‘So who was after Amir Al-Momineen-asws? ’ He-asws said; ‘Al-Hassan-asws, then Al-Husayn-asws’, until he-asws ended up to himself-asws, then he-asws was silent. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So, who is it today? ’ He-asws said: ‘If I-asws were to inform you, will you accept? ’ He said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you! ’
He-asws said: ‘I-asws am he-asws’. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Is there something I can point with? ’ He-asws said: ‘Go to that tree’, and he-asws indicated to Umm Gaylan (a thorny bush), ‘and say to it, ‘Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws is saying to you: ‘Come to me-asws! ’’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I went to it and by Allah-azwj I saw it uprooting the ground with an uprooting until it paused in front of him-asws. Then he-asws gestured to it and it returned. He-asws said: ‘Accept it and necessitate the silence’. It so happened that he was not seen by anyone speaking after that, and before that he used to see the beautiful dreams, and he-asws would appear to him, then the dreams were cut off from him. One night, he-asws saw Abu Abdullah-asws during what the sleeping one sees. He complained to him-asws of the termination of the dreams. He-asws said: ‘Do not be gloomy, for the Momin, when he is firmly rooted in the Eman, the dreams are lifted from him’’. [131]
