Hadith 3

(In the book) ‘Tafseer Al Qummi’ – Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Al Abbad Bin Al Jareysh, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said, after the expiry of Rasool-Allah-saww, in the Masjid, and the people were around him-asws, in a loud voice: Those who commit Kufr and hinder from the Way of Allah, their deeds would be lost [47: 1]. Ibn Abbas said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan-asws! Why did you-asws say what you-asws said: ‘He-asws said: ‘I-asws (only) recited something from the Quran’. He said, ‘Did you-asws said it for a (particular) matter? ’
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Said in His-azwj Book: ‘And whatever the Rasool gives you, so take it, and whatever he forbids you from, then refrain [59: 7]. So, can you testify upon Rasool-Allah-saww and he-saww chose Abu Bakr as caliph? ’
He said, ‘I did not hear Rasool-Allah-saww bequeath except to you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Then why didn’t you pledge allegiance to me-asws’. He said, ‘The people gathered to Abu Bakr, so I was with them’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Just as the people of the calf gathered to the calf. Over here is your Fitna, and your Example is like the example of those who kindled a fire, but when it had illumined all around them, Allah Took away their light, and left them in darkness – not seeing [2: 17]. Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not be returning [2: 18]’’. [3]
