Hadith 367

(The book) ‘Kashf Al-Ghumma’, from ‘Kitab Al Dalail’ – From Muhammad Bin Hamza Al Suroury who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Muhammad-asws upon the hand of Abu Hashim Dawood Bin Al-Qasim Al-Ja’fary, and he was a brother to me, asking him-asws to supplicate for me with being rich, and I had been impoverished. I delivered it, and there came out to me upon his hand: ‘Receive good news, for Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Hastened the riches to you. Your cousin Yahya Bin Hamza has died and left behind one hundred thousand Dirhams, and it shall be arriving to you. So thank Allah-azwj, and upon you is to be with the moderation, and beware of the extravagance, for it is from the Satanic deeds’. An arriving one came to me after that having a promissory note with him from Harran. My cousin had died during the day in which Abu Hashim had returned to me with the answer of my Master Abu Muhammad-asws, and I was enriched, and the poverty was removed away from me just as my Master-asws had said. I paid the Right of Allah-azwj in my wealth and was righteous with my brothers, and I used to be a squanderer and became steady after that, just as Abu Muhammad-asws had instructed me to be’’. [85]
And from Muhammad Bin Salih Al Khas’amy who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Muhammad-asws asking him-asws about the melon, and I was fascinated by it. He-asws wrote to me: ‘Do not eat it upon the empty stomach for it begets the paralysis’. And I had wanted to ask him-asws about the companion of Al-Zinj who had rebelled at Al-Basra, but I had forgotten until my letter had reach to him-asws. He-asws wrote: ‘The companion of Al-Zinj isn’t from the People-asws of the Household’’. [86]
Note: (Companion of Al-Zinj) – He is the one who was claiming that he was Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Isa Bin Zayd son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he is the one being gestured to in (the book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ among the news of the epics at Al-Basra where he-asws is saying: ‘O Ahnaf! It is as if I-asws am with him with the army which there neither happens to be any dust for it nor tumult, nor rattling of the bridles, nor neighing of the horses. They are treading the ground with their feet as if these are feet of the ostrich’. Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed said in the commentary of Al-Nahj Vol 2 Page 311, ‘He rebelled in Euphrates of Al-Basra in the year 255. Al-Zanj (black Africans) followed him, the ones who were attaining the marshland in Al-Basra’. And most of the genealogists concurred upon that he was from (clan of) Abd Al-Qays, and he is Ali Bin Abdul Raheem, and his mother is Asadiya from clan of Asad Bin Khuzeyma. Her grandfather is Muhammad Bin Hakeem Al-Asady, from the people of Al-Kufa, one of the ones to rebel with Zayd son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws.
