Hadith 82

(The book) ‘Riyaz Al Jinan’ – By his chain, from Jabir Al Jufy who said, ‘I was with Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws. He-asws said: ‘O Jabir! We-asws and ones loving us-asws have been Created from one clay, white, pure, from the high Illiyeen. We-asws are Created from its top and ones loving us-asws are Created from below it. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the top will be attached with the bottom, so we-asws shall tap with our-asws hands to a side of our-asws Prophet-saww, and our-asws Shias will tap with their hand to our-asws sides. So where do you see Allah-azwj Take His-azwj Prophet-saww and his-saww offspring, and where do you see his-saww offspring taking ones loving us-asws? ’
Jabir Bin Yazeed struck upon his-asws hand and said: ‘We shall enter it, by the Lord-azwj of Kabah! ’’[91]
And from him, by his chain, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: like a good tree, its roots are stable, and its branches are in the sky [14: 24]. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am its roots, and Ali-asws is its branches, and the Imams-asws are its twigs, and our-asws knowledge is its fruits, and our-asws Shias are its leaves. O Abu Hamza! Do you see anything extra in it? ’
I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I do not see anything extra in it! ’
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! The new-born from our-asws Shias is born, so a leaf sprouts, and the dying one dies, so a leaf drops off from it’’. [92]
Explanation – ‘Do you see anything left out in it? ’ – i. e. , can there be in the tree other than these mentioned matters?
