Hadith 31

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – By this chain, the two reporters (see note below) said, ‘We were present with Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws, father-asws of Al Qaim-ajfj. One of his-asws companions said to him-asws, ‘A man from our Shia brethren came to me and he had been tested by the ignorant general Muslims who tested him regarding the Imamate, and made him swear an oath and said, ‘How do I deal with it until I can finish off from them? ’ So, I said to him: ‘How were they saying? ’
He said, ‘They were saying to me, ‘Are you saying that so and so, he is the imam after Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ There was no escape for me from saying, ‘Yes’, or else they would thrash me with strikes. When I did say, ‘Yes’, they said to me, ‘Say, ‘By Allah-azwj! ’
I said, ‘When you have said it (Na’am) to them intending by it animals (Na’am) from the camels, and the cows and the sheep. And I said, ‘When they say, ‘Say, ‘By Allah-azwj! ’’, then say, ‘Walla’, i. e. , turning back, intending, from such and such a matter, for they would not (be able to) differentiate, and you would be safe’. He said to me, ‘So there would be an achievement for me’, and they are saying, ‘Say, ‘By Allah-azwj! ’, and manifested the (letter) ‘Ha’ (grammatical emphasis). I said, ‘Say, ‘By Allah‑azwj’ – raising the (letter) ‘Ha’ – for it would not happen to be an oath when the (letter) ‘Ha’ is not depressed’. So he went, then returned to me and he said, ‘They showed up to me and made me swear an oath, and I said just as you-asws had indoctrinated (taught) me’. Al-Hassan (Al-Askari-asws) said to him: ‘You as just as Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The pointer upon the goodness is like its doer’. Allah-azwj has Written for your companion due to his Taqiyya (dissimulation) – with the number of everyone who utilises the Taqiyya (dissimulation) – from our-asws Shias, and our-asws friends, and the ones who love us-asws, a good deed, and with a number of everyone who neglects the Taqiyya from them, a good deed, the least of these good deeds being such that if the sins of one hundred years are faced up to it, these would be Forgiven; and for you, by your guidance to him, would be the like of what would be for him’’.
