Hadith 379

(The book) ‘I’lam Al Wara’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ayyash, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Attar, and Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Masqala, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Dawood Bin Al Qasim Abu Hashim Al Ja’fari who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Muhammad-asws. Permission was sought for a man from the people of Al-Yemen. There entered to see him-asws, a handsome man of tall body. He greeted unto him-asws with the Wilayah. He-asws responded to him with the word and instructed him with being seated. He sat by my side. I said within myself, ‘I am not aware who this is’. Abu Muhammad-asws said: ‘This is from the sons of the Bedouins, the owner of the pebble in which my-asws forefathers-asws had stamped in it’. Then he said, ‘Give it! ’ He brought out a pebble, and in a side of it there was a smooth place. He-asws took it and brought out his-asws seal and stamped in it. It was stamped, and it is as if I can read the ring (engraving) right now: ‘Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws’. I said to the Yemeni, ‘Have you seen him-asws at all? ’ He said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj, and I have been yearning to see him-asws for a long time, until it was now, a youth came to me, I had not seen (before). He said, ‘Stand, and enter! ’ I entered. Then he got up and he was saying: The Mercy of Allah and His Blessings are upon you, the People of the Household, [11: 73] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3: 34]. I testify that your-asws right is as obligatory as the obligation of the right of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the Imams-asws from after him-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon them-asws all, and to you ends the wisdom and the Imamate, and you-asws are Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj Who, there is no excuse for anyone in being ignorant with it’. I asked his name. He said, ‘My name is Mihjaj Bin Al-Salt Bin Uqbah Bin Sim’an Bin Ghanim son of Umm Ghanim, and she is the Yemeni Bedouin woman owner of the pebble which Amir-asws had stamped upon. And Abu Hashim Al-Ja’fari said (a poem) regarding that, ‘In a line of pebbles, a Master-asws of ours sealed the pebble. Allah-azwj was Clarified for him-asws with the evidence and purity and Gave him-asws the flags of Imamate, all of them, like Musa-as and splitting of the sea, and the (bright) hand, and the staff, and Allah-azwj did not Clothe the Prophets-as with any argument and miracle, except the successors-asws are wearing it. So the one who was suspicious with that, so he is being deficient from the matter in reading the evidence and examining it’. [108]
Note: Regarding the couplets, Abu Abdullah Bin Ayyash said, ‘This Umm Ghanim, owner of the pebble is other than that owner of the pebble, and she is Umm Al-Nada Hababat Bint Ja’far Al-Walibiya Al-Asadiya, and she is other than the first one which Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws had stamped in it, for Umm Salama-ra, and she-ra inherited the books. So these are three, and for each one of them there is news being reported.
