Hadith 257

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – by his chain from from Abdullah Bin Bakr Al Rajany who said, ‘I accompanied Abu Abdullah-asws in the road to Makkah from Al-Medina. We encamped at a spot called Usfan. Then we passed by a black dismal (miserable) mountain on the left of the road. I said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! How dismal this mountain is. I have not seen in the road the like of this’. He-asws said to me: ‘O Ibn Bakr! Do you know which mountain this is? ’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘This mountain is called Al-Kamad, and it is upon a valley from the valleys of Hell, and in it are ones who killed my-asws father-asws Al-Husayn-asws, deposited in it. Its waters emerge from Hell, from the filth (sweat from the Kafirs, 69: 36), and the pus, and the boiling water, and what emerges from the pit of Al-Hawa (a place in Hell), and what emerges from Al-Falak (Chasm in Hell), and what emerges from sins (Asaam), and what emerges from clay of Al-Khabal[223], and what emerges from Hell; And what emerges from Lazza (Flame of Hell), and from Al-Hutama (a level of hell), and what emerges from Saqar (a level of Hell), and what emerges from the boiling water, and what emerges from Al-Hawiya (a level in Hell), and what emerges from Al-Saeer (a level in Hell)’. (And in another copy: ‘And what emerges from Hell and what emerges from Laza’). And I-asws do not pass by this mountain during my-asws journey and I-asws pause at it except I-asws see the two of them (Abu Bakr & Umar) seeking my-asws help, and I-asws look at the killers of my-asws father-asws, and I-asws say to them: ‘But rather they did what laid the foundation. You did not show us-asws any mercy when you were rulers, and killed us-asws and deprived us-asws, and leapt upon our-asws rights, and tyrannised with the command upon us-asws. May Allah-azwj not have Mercy on the one who has mercy on you two. Taste the scourge of what you sent ahead, and Allah-azwj is not the least unjust to the servants’. And the most severe of the two in beseeching and humbling himself is the second one (Umar). Sometimes I-asws pause at them in order to calm down some of what is in my-asws heart, and sometimes I-asws tread the mountain in which both of them are, and it is mount Al-Kamad’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! When you-asws do tread the mountain, what do you-asws hear? ’
He-asws said: ‘I-asws hear their voices calling out, ‘Ascend to us, we want to speak to you-asws, for we repent! ’, and I-asws hear a shouter shouting in answer to them, and says to them: “Go away into it and do not speak to Me! ” [23: 108]’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And who are with them? ’
He-asws said: ‘Every pharaoh (ruler) insolent upon Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj has Told about his deed, and everyone who teaches Kufr to the servants’. I said, ‘Who are they? ’
He-asws said: ‘For instance Paul who taught the Jews that the Hand of Allah-azwj is shackled, and for instance Nestorius who taught the Christians that the Messiah is a son of Allah-azwj, and said to them ‘Three’ (Trinity), and for instance Pharaoh-la (at the time of) Musa-as who said: He said: ‘I am your lord, the most exalted! ’ [79: 24], and for instance Nimrod-la who said, ‘I-la shall subdue the people of the earth and kill the ones in the sky’; and killer of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and killer of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Mohsin-asws, and killer of Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws. As for Muawiya and Umar (Bin Al-Aas), so they are not even expecting the finish, and with them is everyone who established the enmity to us-asws, and assisted against us-asws by his tongue, and his hand, and his wealth’’.
