Hadith 36

(The book) ‘Al Ghayba’ of the Sheikh Al Tusi – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Ansari who said, ‘A group from the Mufawwiza (believers in delegation), and the derogators sent Kamil Bin Ibrahim Al-Madany to Abu Muhammad-asws. Kamil said, ‘I said within myself, ‘I shall ask him-asws that no one can enter the Paradise except one who recognises what I recognise and says (believes) in my words (beliefs)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When I entered to see my Master-asws Abu Muhammad-asws, I looked at soft white clothes being upon him-asws. I said within myself ‘A Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Divine Authority is wearing the soft from the clothes, and he-asws is instructing us with consoling the brethren and forbids us from wearing similar to it! ’
He-asws said smiling: ‘O Kamil! ’ – and he-asws rolled upon from his-asws forearm, and there was black sackcloth, coarse upon his-asws skin. He-asws said: ‘This (inner clothing) is for Allah-azwj, and this (outer clothing) is for you all’. I greeted and sat down to a door having a curtain dropped upon it. The breeze came and uncovered its end, and there I was with a youth as if he-ajfj was a segment of the moon, from the boys of four years or similar to it. He-asws said to me: ‘O Kamil Bin Ibrahim! ’ I became aware and was inspired to say, ‘Here I am, O my Master-asws! ’
He-asws said: ‘You have come to a Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Divine Authority, and His-azwj Door (access point) to ask whether anyone would enter the Paradise except the one who recognises what you recognise and says what you are saying’. ‘I said, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj! ’
He-asws said: ‘Then by Allah-azwj, few would be entering it. By Allah-azwj! A people called Al-Haqiya would be entering it’. I said, ‘O my Master-asws! And who are they? ’ He-asws said: ‘A people, their love is for Ali-asws. They are swearing by his-asws right but still unaware what his‑asws rights and his-asws merits are! ’
Then he-asws was silent from me for a while. Afterwards he-asws said: ‘And you have come to ask about the beliefs of Al-Mufawwiza. They are lying! But our-asws hearts are receptacles of the Desire of Allah-azwj. So, whenever Allah-azwj Desires something, we-asws desire it, and Allah‑azwj Says: And you (Imams) are not desiring except if Allah so Desires, Lord of the worlds [81: 29]’. Then the curtain returned to its state, and I was not able to uncover it. Abu Muhammad-asws looked at me smiling. He-asws said: ‘O Kamil! Why are you (still) sitting and I-asws have already informed you with your need, the Divine Authority from after me-asws! ’ I stood up and went out and did not see him-ajfj after that’. Abu Nueym said, ‘I met Kamil. I asked him about this Hadeeth. He narrated to me with it’’. [48]
