Hadith 77

(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from one of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I see one of our companions being irritable, sharp, and reckless, so am saddened for that with severe sadness; and I see from our adversaries, and I see him being of good ways’. He-asws said: ‘Do not say, ‘good ways’, for the way is way of the road, but say, ‘good appearance’, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: Their marks are in their faces [48: 29]’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘I see him having good appearance for him, so I get saddened at that’. He-asws said: ‘Do not be saddened at what you see from the irritability of your companions and at what you see from the good appearance of your adversary! When Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Wanted to Create Adam-as, Created those two clays. Then He-azwj Separated them into to sects. He-azwj Said to companions of the right: “Be Creatures by My-azwj Permission! ” So, they became creatures at the status of the particles running around. And He-azwj Said to companions of the left: “Be creatures by My-azwj Permission! ” They became creatures at the status of the folded particles. Then He-azwj Raised a fire for them. He-azwj Said: “Enter it, by My-azwj Permission! ” So, the first one to enter it was Muhammad-saww, then the Determined Ones from the Messengers-as and their-as successors-as, and their-as followers, followed him-saww. Then He-azwj Said to companions of the left: “Enter it, by My-azwj Permission! ” They said, ‘Our Lord-azwj! You-azwj have Created us so You-azwj can Incinerate us? ’ They disobeyed. He-azwj Said to companions of the right: “Come out from the fire by My-azwj Permission! ” They came out and the fire had not taken anything from them and did not leave any trace of impact in them. When companions of the left saw them, they said, ‘Our Lord-azwj! We see our companions being safe, so Command us with the entering! ’
He-azwj Said: ‘I-azwj am Telling you, so enter it! ”
When they approached and the glare hit them, they returned. They said, ‘O our Lord-azwj! There is no patience for us upon the burning! ’ They disobeyed. He-azwj Commanded them with the entering, thrice, during all that they disobeyed and returned. And He-azwj Commanded those thrice, during all that they obeyed and were brought out. He‑azwj Said: ‘Be clay, by My-azwj Permission! ” He-azwj Created Adam-as from it’. He-asws said: ‘So the one who was from these, cannot happen to be from those, and the one who was from those cannot be from these; and what you saw from the irritability of your companion and their manners, it is from what had hit them from the stains of companions of the left, and what you saw from the good appearance of your adversaries and their dignity, it is from what had hit them from the stains of companions of the right’’.
