Hadith 75

Kitab ‘Al Dalaail’ of Al Tabari – From Abdullah Bin Ahmad Al Khazan, from Muhammad Bin Umar Al Tameemi, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ibrahim Bin Ahmad Bin Jeyruwiya, from Muhammad Bin Abu Buhloul, from Salih Bin Abu Aswad, from Jabid Bin Yazeed, ‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘Abu Muhammad Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws went out to Makkah among a group of his-asws friends, and some people from besides them. When he-asws reached Usfan, his-asws friends struck a tent in a place from it. When Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws came near to that place, he-asws said to his-asws friends: ‘How did you strike (a tent) in this place, and this is a place of a group from the Jinn. They are friends of ours-asws and Shias of ours, and that would be harmful with them, and constrict upon them! ’
We said, ‘We did not know that’, and they determine to uproot the tent, and there was a caller, his voice was heard, and his person was not seen, and he was saying, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-as! Do not transfer your-asws tent from its place, for we shall tolerate that for you-asws, and this kindness, we have gifted it to you-asws, and we would love it if you-asws give (allocate some) from it for us to be ennobled with that! ’
And behold, in a side of the tent there was a large tray, and (other small) trays with it, wherein were grapes, and pomegranates, and bananas, and a lot of fruits. Abu Muhammad-asws invited the ones with him-asws. He-asws ate, and they ate from those fruits’’. [83]
From Salman-ra having said: ‘One day the Prophet-as was seated at Al-Abtah, and in his-as presence was a group from his-as companions, and he-as was facing towards us with the Hadeeth (discussion), when we looked towards a whirlwind (in the distance) having raised, and it impacted (raised) the dust, and it did not cease to approached, and the dust was rising until it stopped parallel to the Prophet-as. Then a person who had been in it, emerged from it, then said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-as! I am a delegate of my people. We are seeking help from you-as, so help us, and send someone with me, from the ones who are in front of you-asws, one who can overlook upon our people, for some of them have rebelled against us, for him to judge between us and them with a Judgment of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Book, and take the pacts and the strong covenants upon me that I shall return him to you safely in the early morning, or else an event (Punishment) would occur upon me, from the Presence of Allah-azwj! ’
The Prophet-as said to him: ‘Who are you, and who are your people? ’
He said, ‘I am Urfutah Bin Shimrak
