Hadith 382

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – Haroun Bin Ri’ab who said, ‘There was a brother of mine who was Jaroudy (see note below). I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said to me: ‘What happened to your brother, the Jaroudy? ’ I said, ‘Healthy. He is pleasing in the presence of the judge and the neighbours in the situation, apart from that he does not acknowledge with your-asws Wilayah’. He-asws said: ‘What prevents him from that? ’ I said, ‘He claims that he is pious’. He-asws said: ‘So where was piety on the night at the river Balkh? I proceeded to my brother. I said to him, ‘May your mother be bereft of you! I entered to see Abu Abdullah and he-asws asked me about you, and I informed him, ‘He is pleasing in the presence of the neighbours in the situations, all of them, apart from that the does not acknowledge with your-asws Wilayah! ’ He-asws said: ‘What prevents him from that’. I said, ‘He claims that he is pious’. He-asws said: ‘So where was his piety on the night at river Balkh? ’’
He said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws informed you with this? ’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I testify that he-asws is a Divine Authority of Lord-azwj of the worlds! ’ I said, ‘Inform me about your story’. He said, ‘I came from behind river Balkh, a man accompanied me, and with him was a beautiful maid. He said, ‘Either you get some fire (firewood) for us and I shall guard (your belongings) for you, or I shall get the fire (firewood), and you guard for me’. I said, ‘Go and fetch, and I shall guard for you’. When he went, I stood to the maid, and it happened from me to her what happened. By Allah-azwj! I neither disclosed to him nor did I disclose it to anyone, and no one knew except Allah-azwj’. I went out in the second year, and he was with me. I entered him to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He did not exit from his-asws presence until he said (believed) in his-asws Imamate’’. [264]
Note: Al Jaroudy – Follower of Abu Al Jaroud Ziyad Bin Al Munzir Al Hamdany, the blind, and Al-Sadiq-asws had cursed him. And it is mentioned by Ibn Al Nadeem in ‘Al Fihrist’, from the Imam Al-Sadiq-asws that he-asws cursed him and said: ‘He is blind of the heart, blind of the sight’. And it has been reported in his condemnation, noticeable reports of (the book) ‘Rijal’ of Al Kashy, page 150, and the brief words of Al Jaroudiya is that they said (believed) in the superiority of Ali-asws, then they continued the Imamate after him-asws in Al-Hassan-asws, then Al-Husayn-asws, then it being a consultation between their-asws children. So, whoever from them emerges rightful for the Imamate, so he is the Imam. And they and Al-Batriyya, are two sects which arrogate the matter of Zay son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and the matter of Zayd Bin Al-Hassan, and from them both, they branched out into a type of Zaydites’.
