Hadith 727

‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! There is a Hadeeth I have been informed of by Al-Asbagh from you-asws, I have been constricted by it, being uneasy’. He-asws said: ‘And what is it? ’ I informed him-asws‘. He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws smiled, then said: ‘Be seated, O Meysam! Or is every bearer of knowledge a scholar? Allah-azwj the Exalted Said to the Angels: I am going to Make a Caliph in the earth. They said: Are You going to Make in it one who will make mischief therein and shed the blood, and we Glorify with Your Praise and we extol Your Holiness? He said: I Know what you do not know [2: 30]. So, do you see the Angels bearing the knowledge? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This is greater than that’. He-asws said: ‘And another is that Musa-as, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed the Torah unto him-as, so he-as thought that there is no one more knowledgeable than him-as. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Informed him that: “Among My-azwj creatures there is one who is more knowledgeable than you-as are”, and that is when He-azwj Feared the self-conceitedness upon His-azwj Prophet-as’. He-asws said: ‘He-as supplicated to his-as Lord-azwj that He-azwj Guides him to the scholar. So Allah-azwj Gathered between him-as and Al-Khizr-as. He (Al-Khizr-as) made a hole in the boat, and Musa-as could not tolerate that, and he-as killed the boy, and he-as could not tolerate it, and he-as straightened the wall, and he-as could not tolerate it. And as for the Momineen, so our Prophet-saww grabbed my-asws hand on the Day of Ghadeer Khumm and he-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! One whose Master I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master! ’ Do you see anyone tolerating that except the one whom Allah-azwj Protected from them? Therefore, receive glad tidings! Then receive glad tidings, for Allah-azwj the Exalted has Protected you all with what He-azwj did not even Particularise the Angels, and the Prophets-as, and the Messenger-as with, with regards to what you are bearing from the orders of Rasool-Allah-saww, and his-saww knowledge’’. [354]
I am saying, ‘And I found in the book of Suleym Bin Qays –
‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said to Aban Bin Abu Ayyash! O brother of Abdu Qays! So if a matter is clear to you, then accept it, or else, be silent, submitting, and refer its knowledge back to Allah-azwj, for you are in a leeway wider than what is between the sky and the earth’’. [355]
And I found in the handwriting of the sheykh Muhammad Bin Ali Al Jabaie, copied from the book Al Bassair of Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Bin Abu Khalaf Al Qummi, from Al Husayn Bin Saed, from Safwan, from Abdullah Al Kahily, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having recited this Verse: But no! By your Lord! They are not believing [4: 65] – the Verse, he-asws said: ‘If a people were to worship Allah-azwj Alone, the
