Hadith 220

(The book) ‘Al Fihrist’ of Al Najashy – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Muwaddib, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Yahya Al Awdy who said, ‘I entered the central Masjid to pray Al-Zohr Salat. When I had prayed it, I saw Harb Bin Al-Hassan Al-Tahan and a group of our companions seated. I inclined to them and greeted unto them, and sat down, and among them was Al-Hassan Bin Sama’at. Note: (Al-Hassan Bin Sama’at) – He is Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at Al-Kindy Al-Sayrafi, from the Sheykhs of the Waqifites, being of many Ahadeeth, a jurist, trusted. He was obstinate regarding the pausing (at the 7th Imam-asws – a Waqifite) and a Nasibi. They mentioned the matter of Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws and what had transpired upon him-asws. Then from afterwards, Zayd son of Ali-asws, and what had transpired upon him, and with us there was a man, a stranger, we did not know him. He said, ‘O people! There is an Alawite man with us at Surmanray, from the people of Al-Medina. He-asws is not, except a sorcerer or a soothsayer’. Ibn Sama’at said to him, ‘Who is he-asws known as? ’ He said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws Bin Al-Reza-asws’. The group said to him, ‘How is that manifest from him-asws? ’ He said, ‘We were seated with him at the door of his-asws house, and he-asws was our neighbour at Surmanray. We used to sit to him-asws during every evening, discussing with him-asws, when a leader from the house of the sultan passed by, and with him were gifts, and there was a large crowd with him from the leaders, and the infantry, and the servants, and others. When he saw Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, he leapt to him-asws and greeted him and honoured him-asws. When he went, he-asws said to us: ‘He is happy with what (situation) he is in, and tomorrow he will be buried before the Salat’. We were surprised from that, so we stood up from his-asws presence. We said, ‘This is knowledge of hidden matters’. We made a pact thrice if it does not happen what he-asws had said, we would kill him-asws and be at rest from him-asws. I was in my house having had prayed Al-Fajr Salat, when I heard noise. I stood to the door and there were a lot of people from the soldiers and others, and they were saying, ‘So and so leader died last night. He was intoxicated and crossed from a place to a place, he fell and broke his neck’. I said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj! ’ And I went out and attended it, and there was the man just as Abu Al-Hassan-asws had said, dead. I did not depart until I had buried him and returned. We were all astounded from this situation’ – and he mentioned the Hadeeth with its (full) length’’. [84]
