Hadith 325

nemies’. They said, ‘Allah-azwj Forbid, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! We are at peace with you-asws and at war with your-asws enemy’. Then he-asws excused the people. Nasr said, ‘And Ali-asws completed his-asws Salat on the day he-asws entered Al-Kufa. When it was the Friday, he-asws addressed the people. He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! I-asws praise Him-azwj and seek His-azwj Assistance, and His-azwj Guidance, and I-asws seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the straying. One who is Guided by Allah-azwj, there is no strayer for him, and one whom Allah-azwj Lets to stray, there is no guide for him. And I-asws testify there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there being no associates for Him-asws, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww. He-azwj Selected him-saww for His-azwj Command and Specialised him-saww with His-azwj Prophet-hood, Causing His-azwj creatures to honour him-saww and be loving to them. He-saww delivered His-azwj Message of his-saww Lord-azwj and advised his-saww community, and fulfilled that which was upon him-saww. I-asws advise you all to be with fear of Allah-azwj, for the fear of Allah-azwj is the best of what can be advised with, servants of Allah-azwj, and it draws closer to the Pleasure of Allah-azwj, and the best in the consequences of the matters in the Presence of Allah-azwj. And by the fear of Allah-azwj I-asws have been Commanded and for the good deeds and you have been Created for the obedience. Therefore, be cautious from Allah-azwj what He-azwj has Cautioned you all from Himself-azwj, for He-azwj has Warned of severe problems, and fear Allah-azwj with a fear not being with excuses, and work without showing off nor to be heard, for the one who works for other than Allah-azwj, (and) Allah-azwj would Allocate him to the one he had worked for, and one who works for Allah-azwj sincerely, Allah-azwj would Take charge of his Rewards. And have pity (on yourselves) from Punishment of Allah-azwj, for He-azwj has not Created you in vain, and did not leave out anything from your matters in vain. He-azwj Hears your impacts and Knows your deeds, and Writes your terms. So, do not be deceived by the world, for it is a deception for its people, deceiving by the ones who have been deceived by it, and to annihilation of what it is. And the Hereafter, it is a house of the life, if only you knew. I-asws ask Allah-azwj for status of the martyrs, and friendship of the Prophets-as, and a life of the fortunate ones, for rather we are with it and for it’. Nazr said, ‘Then Ali-asws employed the office-bearers and dispersed them in the city, and he-asws wrote a letter with Jareer Bin Abdullah Al-Bajali to Muawiya calling him to the allegiance’’. [4]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Nasr has reported in his book upon an aspect of the extension, then said, ‘And he-asws sent Yazeed Bin Qas Al-Arhaby (governor) upon Al-Madain, and Mikhaf Bin Suleym upon Asbahan and Hamdan, and Qarza Bin Ka’an upon Al-Bihqubazat, and Qudamah Bin Mazun upon Kaskar, and Adayy Bin Hatim upon the city of Bahrusir and its surroundings, and Abu Hassan Al-Bakry upon the highlands of Astaan, and Sa’ad Bin Masoud Al-Saqafi upon Astaan Al-Zuwaby, and Rabie Bin Kaas upon S
