Hadith 333

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma’ – Ahmad Bin Al Munzir, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Dawood Al Raqqy who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq-asws. Hababat Al-Walibiya entered to see him, and she was good. She asked him-asws about issues regarding the Permissibles and the Prohibitions. We were surprised from the excellence of those questions. Then he-asws said to us, ‘Have you seen questions better than the questions of Hababat Al-Walibiya? ’ We said, ‘May we be sacrificed for you-asws! That has become adorable in our eyes and our hearts! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Her tears flowed. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘What is the matter I-asws see your eyes to be flowing? ’
She said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! A disease has appeared with me, from the wicked diseases which used to afflict the Prophets-as and the friends, and my relatives and my family members are saying, ‘The wickedness has afflicted you. If your Master-asws was like what she says, being of obligatory obedience, he-asws would supplicate for her, so Allah-azwj the Exalted would Remove it from her, and by Allah-azwj’. I was cheered by that and knew that it is an examination and expiation, and it is a disease of the righteous ones’. Al-Sadiq-asws said to her: ‘And they have said that the wickedness has afflicted you? ’ She said, ‘Yes, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Al-Sadiq-asws moved his-asws lips with something, I don’t know which supplication it was. He-asws said: ‘Enter the women’s room until you look at your body! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘She entered and uncovered from her clothes, then stood up, and there had not remained anything from her chest, nor in her body’. He-asws said: ‘Go now to them and say to them, ‘This is which drew me closer to Allah-azwj with his-asws Imamate! ’’[169]
