Hadith 91

orrect them for you-saww, and Grace them the stead fasted-ness for your-saww successor-asws from after you-saww, for the previous communities were rather destroyed due to their disobeying the successors-as, and my need, O Rasool-Allah-saww, is that you-saww teach me a chapter from the Quran I can pray Salat with it’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Teach Al-Ham and be kind with him’. Ham said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who is this whom you-saww are giving my responsibility to him-asws, for we the community of Jinn have been Commanded that we do not speak except to a Prophet-as or a successor-as of a Prophet-saww’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘O Ham! Whom did you find to be in the Book as being the successor-as of Adam-as? ’ He said, ‘Shees Bin Adam-as’. Whom did you find to be as successor‑as of Noah-as? ’ He-saww said: ‘Sam Bin Noah-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Hud-as? ’ He said, ‘Youhanna Bin Hanan-as, son of an uncle of Hud-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Ibrahim-as? ’ He said, ‘Is’haq Bin Ibrahim-as’. Who was the successor-as of Musa-as’. He said, ‘Yoshua Bin Noun-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Isa-as? ’ He said, ‘Shamoun Bin Hamoun Al-Saffa-as’. So, whom do you found in the Book as being the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww? ’ He said, ‘He-asws is in the Torah as ‘Elia’’. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘This is Elia, he-asws is Ali-asws, my-saww successor-asws’. Al-Ham said ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! For him-asws is there a name other than this? ’ He-saww said: ‘Yes, it is ‘Hyder’. Why did you ask me-saww about that? ’ He said, ‘We found in the Book of the Prophets-as that he-asws is in the Evangel as ‘Haydera’’. He-saww said: ‘It is Hyder’. Ali-asws taught him a chapter from the Quran. Ham said, ‘O Ali-asws! O successor-asws of Muhammad-saww! Is it sufficient for me what you-asws have taught me from the Quran? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Ham. A little from the Quran is a lot’. Then Ham stood up to the Prophet-as and bade him-saww farewell and did not return to the Prophet-saww until he-saww passed away’’. [102]
