Hadith 164

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported by the Sheikh Hassan Bin Suleyman in the book ‘Al Muhtazar’, from what is reported from the book of the majestic Seyyid Hassan Bin Kabash, from what he had taken from the book ‘Al Muqtazab, by his chain, ‘From Salman Al Farsi-ra who said, ‘I entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww on day. When he-saww looked at me-ra, he-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic did not Send any Prophet-as nor any Messenger-as, except and He-azwj Made twelve captains to be for him-as’. He-ra said, ‘I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I-ra have known this from the people of the two Books (Jews and Christians)! ’
He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! Do you-ra know who my-saww twelve captains are, the ones Allah-azwj has Chosen for the Imamate from after me-saww? ’
I said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’. He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! Allah-azwj Created me-saww from the best of His-azwj Noor and Called me-saww, so I-saww obeyed Him-azwj. And He-azwj Created Ali-asws from my-saww Noor. He-azwj Called him-asws, so he-asws obeyed Him-azwj. And He-azwj Created (Syeda) Fatima-asws from my-saww Noor and Noor of Ali-asws. He-azwj Called her-asws, so she-asws obeyed Him-azwj. And He-azwj Created Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws from me-saww and from Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws. He-azwj Called them-asws both. They-asws both obeyed Him-azwj. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Named us with five names from His-azwj Names. Allah-azwj is ‘Al Mahmoud’ and I-saww am ‘Muhammad. , and Allah-azwj is Ali and this is Ali, and Allah-azwj is ‘Fatir’ and this is (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Allah-azwj is ‘Zul Ihsaan’, and this is Al Hassan-asws, and Allah-azwj is ‘Al Mohsin’ and this is Al-Husayn-asws. Then He-azwj Created nine Imams-asws from us-asws and from the Noor of Al-Husayn-asws. He-azwj Called them-asws, so they-asws obeyed Him-azwj, before Allah-azwj had Created a built sky, and a spread earth, or air, or water, or Angel, or a mortal, and we-asws were Noors with His-azwj Knowledge, glorifying Him-azwj and listening to Him-azwj and obeying’. Salman-ra said, ‘I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! May my-ra father and my-ra mother be (sacrificed) for you-saww! What is for the one who recognises them-asws? ’
He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! One who recognises them as is the right of recognising them-asws and is led by them-asws so he befriends their-asws friends and disavows from their-asws enemies, so he, by Allah-azwj, is from us-asws. He shall return to where we-asws return and settle where we-asws settle’. I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Can the belief in them-asws happen to be without recognising their-asws names and their-asws lineages? ’
He-saww said: ‘No, O Salman-ra! ’
I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! So how would it be for me-ra, with (recognising all of) them-asws? ’
He-saww said: ‘You-ra have known up to Al-Husayn-asws. Then chief of the worshippers Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, then his-asws son-asws Muhammad Bin Ali-asws expounder of the knowledge of the former ones and the latter ones, from the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as. Then Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, the truthful tongue of Allah-azwj, then Musa-asws Bin Ja’far‑asws, the swallower of his-asws rage patiently for the Sake of Allah-azwj, then Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws the pleased to the Commands of Allah-azwj, then Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, the Chosen from the creatures of Allah-azwj. Then Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, the guide to Allah-azwj, then Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, the silent, the trusted upon the religion of Allah-azwj. Then MHMD (named with his-saww name), son-ajfj of Al-Hassan-asws, Al-Mahdi-ajfj, the speaking, the standing with the Right of Allah-azwj’. Salman-ra said, ‘I-ra cried, then said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! So how can it be for Salman-ra to come across them-asws? ’
He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! You-ra will be coming across them-asws, and (so will) the likes of you‑ra, and the ones who befriend them-asws with the real recognition’. Salman-ra said, ‘I-ra thanked Allah-azwj a lot, then I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! How can I-ra be deferred to their-asws era? ’
He-saww said: ‘O Salman-ra! Read, So when the first of the two Promises came, We Sent against you a servant of Ours with mighty prowess, and they ravaged the houses, and it was always a Promise to be accomplished [17: 5] Then We Returned the prevalence to you over them and Aided you with wealth and sons and Made you more numerous [17: 6]’. Salman-ra said, ‘My-ra crying and my-ra yearning intensified, and I-ra said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! (Is it) by a pact from you-saww? ’
He-saww said: ‘Yes, by the One-azwj Who Sent Muhammad-saww! Surely it is for a pact from me‑saww, and for Ali-asws, and Fatima-asws, and Al Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and nine Imams-asws, and everyone who is from us-asws, and one oppressed regarding us-asws. Yes, by Allah-azwj, O Salman-ra! Then Iblees-la and his-la armies will present, and every one of pure Eman purely, and pure Kufr purely, until there is seizure with the retaliation, and the grievances, and the revolutions, and your Lord will not Wrong anyone [18: 49]. And we-asws are the interpretation of this Verse: And We Intend to Confer upon those who were weakened in the land, and to Make them Imams, and Make them the inheritors [28: 5] And to Enable for them in the land, and to Show Pharaoh and Haman and their armies what they used to beware from them [28: 6]’. Salman-ra said, ‘I-ra stood up from in front of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Salman-ra did not care when he-ra will meet the death or it meets him-ra! ’’[205]
And I found in the handwriting of one of the scholars transmitting from the handwriting of the martyr, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, said, ‘It is reported by Al Safwany in his book by his chain who said, ‘Al-Reza-asws was asked about the interpretation of the Verse: You Made us die twice, [40: 11]. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! This Verse is not except but regarding the return (Raj’at)’’. [206]
