Hadith 89

ne Allah Mercies. Surely, He is the Mighty, the Merciful [44: 42] -Meaning by that Ali-asws and his-asws Shias. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy? ’
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj the High has Mentioned you all when He-azwj Said: Say: ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. Surely, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [39: 53]. And Allah-azwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shias). So, have I-asws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad? ’
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all in His-azwj Book: “[17: 65] Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority over them; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector”. And Allah-azwj has not Intended by this but the Imams-asws and their-asws Shias. So, have I-asws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad? ’
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all in His-azwj Book. He-azwj Said: And the one who obeys Allah and the Rasool, so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4: 69]. Rasool-Allah-saww in the Verse is ‘from among the Prophets-as’, and we-asws, in this subject are the ‘truthful and the martyrs’, and you all are the ‘righteous’, therefore adopt this name by the righteousness as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Named you. O Abu Muhammad, so, have I made you happy? ’
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allah-azwj has Mentioned you all when He-azwj Narrated about your enemies in the Fire by His-azwj Words: And they will say, ‘What is the matter with us, we do not see men whom we used to count as being from the evil ones? ’ [38: 62] Did we take them in scorn or are the visions turned away from them? [38: 63]. And Allah-azwj has not Meant, and not Intended by this other than you (Shias). You have become as the evil people in the eyes of this world, and by Allah-azwj, you will be in the Paradise you will be in delight whereas in the Fire you will be sought. O Abu Muhammad, so have I-asws made you happy? ’
He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Guides to the Paradise, nor Mentions it addressees with goodness except that it is regarding us-asws and regarding our-asws Shias. And there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Mentions its addressees with evil, or Points to the Fire except that it is regarding our-asws enemies and the ones who are opposed to us-asws. So, have I-asws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad? ’
He said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, increase it for me’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! There is no one upon the Nation (religion) of Ibrahim-as except for us-asws, and our-asws Shias, whereas the rest of the people are remote from that. O Abu Muhammad, have I-asws made you happy? ’
And in another report, he said: ‘This is enough’’. [100]
