Hadith 28

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – From Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from Al Washa, from Karram, from Abdullah Bin Talha who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the lizard. He-asws said: ‘And uncleanness, and it is morphed, all of it. So when you kill it, then wash’. And he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws was seated in the chamber and with him-asws was a man discussing with him-asws. There was a lizard ululating with it’s tongue’. My-asws father-asws said to the man: ‘Do you know what this lizard is saying? ’ He said, ‘There is no knowledge for me with what he is saying’. He-asws said: ‘He is saying, ‘By Allah-azwj! If you were to mention Usman with an insult, I shall insult Ali-asws until they stand up from over here! ’’
He-asws said: ‘And my-asws father-asws said: ‘No dying one from the clan of Umayya dies except he is morphed as a lizard’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws said: ‘Abdul Malik Bin Marwan, when the death befell him, he was morphed into a lizard in front of the ones who were in his presence, and his children were with him. When they lost him, that was grievous upon them. They did not know what they should be doing. Then they gathered their affairs upon that they should take a trunk and carve it in the appearance of the man’. He-asws said: ‘They did that and clothed the trunk with an iron armour, then cast it in the shrouds. No one from the people noticed except I-asws and his children’’. [44]
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – From Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘By Allah-azwj! There is none from a servant from our-asws Shias sleeping, except Allah-azwj Ascends his soul to the sky. He‑azwj Blesses upon it. If it’s term has come upon it, He-azwj Makes it to be in a treasure of His-azwj Mercy and in a garden of His-azwj Paradise, and in the shade of His-azwj Throne; and if its term has been delayed, He-azwj Dispatches it with His-azwj Trustees from the Angels in order to return it to the body which it had come out from, to settle in it’ – the Hadeeth’’.
