Hadith 840

ights of his-saww relatives are greater (than the rights of a Believer’s own family), and it’s cutting off is more severe, and more outrageous and more flagrant. And are making mischief in the land – By disavowing from the ones whose Imamate Allah-azwj has Obligated, and believing in the Imamate of the ones Allah-azwj has Necessitated opposition to, these it is – the people of these descriptions they are the losers. They would be incurring losses themselves when they go into the Fires, and are deprived the Gardens. So, what a loss it would be when the eternal Punishment is necessitated upon them, and their being deprived of the eternal Bliss. He-asws said: ‘And Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘Indeed! And the one who submits to us-asws what he does not know, trusting that we-asws are rightful, knowing that we-asws would not pause with it except upon clear proofs, Allah-azwj the Exalted would Submit to him from the castles of the Paradise as well what he does not know it’s worth, nor can anyone evaluate it except its Creator and its Endower. Indeed! And the one who leaves a bitter argument and the controversy – and confines upon the submission to us-asws, and leaves the harming, Allah-azwj would Withhold him upon the Bridge. So the Angels would come to him arguing upon his deeds and his indulging upon his sins, and there would be a Call from Allah Mighty and Majestic: “O My-azwj Angels! This servant of Mine-azwj did not argue, and submitted the matter to his Imams-asws, therefore do not argue with him and submit him to be in My-azwj Garden to his Imams-asws to be residing therein, in proximity to them-asws, just as he was submissive to them-asws in the world’. And as for the one who raises objections to us-asws by ‘why’, and ‘how’, and overturn the sentence in detail, the Angels would say to him upon the Bridge, ‘Pause with us, O servant of Allah-azwj, and argue with us upon your deeds – just as you had argue in the world with the judges to you from your Imams-asws’. A call would come: ‘You speak the truth! So make him world with what he has done’. So he would be paused, and his Reckoning would be prolonged, and during that Reckoning, his Punishment would be intensified. How great would be his regret over these, and how intense would be his sorrows. Nothing would rescue him over there except the Mercy of Allah-azwj – if the total of his Religion did not separate from him in the world – or else he would be in the Fire forever and ever’. And Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘And He-azwj would Say to the fulfiller of his pact – in the world regarding his vows, and his oaths, and his promises: “O you Angels! This servant fulfilled his pacts in the world, therefore fulfil for him over here with what We-azwj had Promised him, and excuse him and do not discuss with him (too much about his sins)”. So this is where the Angels would take him to the Gardens. And as for the one who cuts off his relationships, so if he was maintaining with the relatives of Muhammad-saww, and he had cut off his own relatives, the relatives of Muhammad-saww would intercede to his relative, and they would be saying to him, ‘For you are our good deeds and our (acts of) obedience whatever you so desire, therefore forgive him’. And they would be forgiving him from these whatever he so desires, and he would forgive them, and Allah-azwj would Give to the giver what would benefit them and He-azwj would not be deficient with them. And if he had maintained relationships of his own relatives and cut off the relatives of Muhammad-saww, by rejecting their-asws rights, and repelling them-asws from what Obligates for them-asws, and name others with their-asws names, and entitle others with their-asws titles, and denounce with the ugly titles his adversaries from the people of their-asws Wilayah, it would be s
