Hadith of Adam, 'Alayhim al-Salam with the tree — Hadith 1

f Allah (azwj) from the descendants who are one from another from the elite after the Prophets (as) from the fathers, and the brothers, and the descendants from the Prophets (as). So the ones who sought protection by the merit ended up with their (as) Knowledge and were rescued by their (as) help, and the ones who placed the Guardians of the Command of Allah (azwj) and the people of the interpretation (Istanbaat) in others than the elites from the Houses of the Prophets (as) have opposed the Command of Allah (azwj), and made the ignorant ones to be as the guardians of the command of Allah (azwj) (wali al-amr), and the pretenders without guidance from Allah (azwj) and they claim that they are the ones who are the people of interpretation (Istanbaat) of the Knowledge of Allah (azwj), so they have belied against Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) Rasool (saww), and disregarded his (saww) successor (asws) and being obedient to him (asws), and did not place the Preference of Allah (azwj) where Allah (azwj) Blessed and High had Placed it. So they went astray and led astray those who followed them, and there will be no argument for them on the Day of Judgement. But rather, the Proof is among the Progeny of Ibrahim (as) as is in the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[4: 54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim’s children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom”. So the Proofs are the Prophets (as) and the People of the Household of the Prophets (as) until the Establishment of the Hour (Day of Judgement), because the Book of Allah (azwj) Speaks of that, the Will of Allah (azwj) some of them from the other which has been Placed upon the people, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: “[24: 36] In houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted”, and these are the Houses of the Prophets (as), and the Rasools (as), and the Wise ones, and the Imams (asws) of Guidance. So these is the explanation of the firm belief by which gained salvation the ones who were before you, and by it was the Rescued the ones who followed the Imams (asws). And Allah (azwj) Said in His (azwj) Book: “[6: 84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others). [6: 85] And Zakariya and Yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of the good [6: 86] And Ismail and Al-Yasha and Yunus
