Hadith 115

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ibn Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ziyad Al Maysami who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Al-Hassan Al Wasity Bin Hisham Bin Salim who said, ‘When I entered to see Abdullah son of Abu Abdullah-asws to ask him, I did not see anything with him, so there entered into me what Allah-azwj is Knowing with it, and I feared that Abu Abdullah-asws may not have left behind a replacement (Imam-asws). So, I went to the grave of the Prophet-saww and say by his-saww head, supplicating to Allah-azwj and seeking Help with Him-azwj. Then I thought and said (to myself), ‘I shall be patient upon the word of the atheists. Then I though regarding what enters upon them, and I saw their word to be corrupt. Then I said, ‘No, but the word of the Khawarijites. They are instructing with the good deeds and forbidding from the evil, and I shall strike with my sword until I die. Then I thought regarding their word and what enters upon them, and I found it to be corrupt. Then I said, ‘To the Murjiites’. Then I thought regarding what enters upon them, and there, their word was corrupt. I was thinking within myself and walking, when one of the slaves of Abu Abdullah-asws passed by and said to me, ‘It obligates that I seek permission for you to see Abu Al-Hassan (Musa)-asws’. I said, ‘Yes’. He went away and it was not long before he returned to me and said, ‘Arise and enter to see him-asws’. When Abu Al-Hassan-asws looked at me, he-asws said to me: ‘O Hisham! Neither to the atheists, nor to the Khawarijites, not to the Murjiites, nor to the Qadirites, but to us-asws’. I said, ‘You-asws are my Master-asws’. Then I asked him-asws and he-asws answered me about what I wanted’’. [130]
