Mercy of the Prophet, Part 2

Here is a Ḥasan or Muwaththaq (Good or Reliable) ḥadīth that exhibits the great mercy of the Prophet Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم). I have made another post earlier that also shows the great mercy of the Prophet (Click here).

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّ ثُمَامَةَ بْنَ أُثَالٍ أَسَرَتْهُ خَيْلُ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمْكِنِّي مِنْ ثُمَامَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي مُخَيِّرُكَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ أَقْتُلُكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَقْتُلَ عَظِيماً أَوْ أُفَادِيكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَجِدَنِي غَالِياً أَوْ أَمُنُّ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَجِدَنِي شَاكِراً قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ مَنَنْتُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ رَأَيْتُكَ وَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَشْهَدَ بِهَا وَ أَنَا فِي الْوَثَاقِ

From Zurārah from Abī Ja`far (عليه السلام) said: ‘Thumāmah bin Athāl was captured by horsemen of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم), the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘O Allāh, empower me over Thumāmah’ The Messenger of Allāh said to him (Thumāmah), I am giving you the choice to (chose) one of the three choices. (Choice 1) I can kill you. He (Thumāmah) said: ‘If you kill me, you will (have killed) a great (person). (Choice 2) I can release you for exchange of ransom. He (Thumāmah) said: ‘You will find me expensive’ (Choice 3) Or, I can set you free. He (Thumāmah) said: ‘You will find me grateful'. He (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘Then I have set you free’ He said: ‘I witness that there is no God, but Allāh, and that you Muḥammad are the Messenger of Allāh. By Allāh, I knew that you were the Messenger of Allāh, when I saw you, but I did not want to testify to it when I was tied up’

Events After the Birth of the Prophet Muhammad

Here is a Ḥasan or Muwaththaq (Good or Reliable) ḥadīth that tells in detail the events that took place right after the birth of our beloved Prophet Muḥammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ لَمَّا وُلِدَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى مَلَإٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِيهِمْ هِشَامُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ الْعَاصُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَ أَبُو وَجْزَةَ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَالَ أَ وُلِدَ فِيكُمْ مَوْلُودٌ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَوُلِدَ إِذاً بِفِلَسْطِينَ غُلَامٌ اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ بِهِ شَامَةٌ كَلَوْنِ الْخَزِّ الْأَدْكَنِ وَ يَكُونُ هَلَاكُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قَدْ أَخْطَأَكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ فَتَفَرَّقُوا وَ سَأَلُوا فَأُخْبِرُوا أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ غُلَامٌ فَطَلَبُوا الرَّجُلَ فَلَقُوهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ قَدْ وُلِدَ فِينَا وَ اللَّهِ غُلَامٌ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكُمْ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ قَالُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَنَا قَالَ فَانْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا أُمَّهُ

From Abī Baṣīr from Abī Ja`far (عليه السلام) said: ‘When the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) was born, a man from the people of the Book came to a group from the Quraysh, in them were Hishām bin al-Mughīrah, al-Walīd bin al-Mughīrah, al-Āṣ bin Hishām, Abū Wajzah bin Abī `Amr bin Umayyah and `Utbah bin Rabī`ah. So he (the man from the people of the book) said: ‘Has a child been born among you at night?’ They said: ‘No’ He (the man) said: ‘Therefore a child must have been born in Palenstine, his name is Aḥmad, with him is a dark silky color mole. The destruction of the people of the book and the Jews will be by his hands, this has come to pass you up, by Allah, O gathering of Quraysh!’ They dispersed, and they asked (around), and they were told that a boy was born to `Abd Allāh bin `Abd al-Muṭalib. They searched for the man, and found him. They said: ‘By Allāh, a boy has been born among us.’ He (the man) said: ‘(Was he born) before what I said to you, or after what I said to you?’ They said: ‘Before what you said to us’. He (the man) said: ‘They must hurry to him until they see him, so they hurried until they came to his (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) mother (Āminah bint Wahab)

فَقَالُوا أَخْرِجِي ابْنَكَ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ابْنِي وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَقَطَ وَ مَا سَقَطَ كَمَا يَسْقُطُ الصِّبْيَانُ لَقَدِ اتَّقَى الْأَرْضَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ نُورٌ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى قُصُورِ بُصْرَى وَ سَمِعْتُ هَاتِفاً فِي الْجَوِّ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ وَلَدْتِيهِ سَيِّدَ الْأُمَّةِ فَإِذَا وَضَعْتِيهِ فَقُولِي أُعِيذُهُ بِالْوَاحِدِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ حَاسِدٍ وَ سَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّداً قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخْرِجِيهِ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَلَّبَهُ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّامَةِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ فَخَرَّ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذُوا الْغُلَامَ فَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ وَ قَالُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكِ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا أَفَاقَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا لَكَ وَيْلَكَ قَالَ ذَهَبَتْ نُبُوَّةُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ مَنْ يُبِيرُهُمْ فَفَرِحَتْ قُرَيْشٌ بِذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ قَدْ فَرِحُوا قَالَ قَدْ فَرِحْتُمْ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَيَسْطُوَنَّ بِكُمْ سَطْوَةً يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهَا أَهْلُ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ كَانَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ يَسْطُو بِمِصْرِهِ

So they said: ‘Give me your son, so we can see him. She (Āminah) said: ‘By Allāh, my son dropped (to the ground), but he did not drop like what other children drop. When he dropped, he supported from the ground with his hand, and he raised his head to the sky and looked at it, then a light came from him until the castles of Baṣrah could see, and I heard a caller in the air say: ‘You have given birth to the master of the nation (Sayyid al-Ummah), and when place him, you must say: ‘I seek refuge by the One from every jealousy, and name him is Muḥammad’. The man said: ‘Bring him’, so she brought him (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) to him and he saw him, then he (the man) turned him (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) over and saw the mole (mark) between his shoulders, then he collapsed and (fell) unconscious. They took the child and brought him to his mother and they said: ‘May Allāh bless you with him’ .When they left, he (the man) woke up, and they said to him (the man): ‘Woe unto you, what happened to you?’ He (the man) said: ‘Prophethood has left the Banī Isrā`īl until the day of Judgment, this, by Allāh, will destroy them.’ The Quraysh were happy by this, when he saw them happy he (the man) said: ‘You are happy, by Allāh, he will rule over you and he will speak to the people of the east and the west. And Abū Sufyān said: ‘Will he rule his region?'

Allah Descends to the Lowest Heaven

Here is a Ḥasan or Ṣaḥīḥ (Good or Authentic) ḥadīth from Imām al-Riḍā (عليه السلام), where the narrator (Ibrāhīm bin Abī Maḥmūd who is trustworthy) asks the Imām about the famous ḥadīth that “Allāh descends to the earth’s heavens (i.e. lowest heavens) on night of Friday (i.e. Jumu`ah)”. The Imām (عليه السلام) categorically denies the ḥadīth and after that gives the tafsīr (commentary) to the ḥadīth. This ḥadīth shows the importance of Imāmah and having an Imām, a person who is well learned in the Prophet’s (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) ḥadīth and Sunnah, a person who can spot mistakes in the matn of ḥadīth.

One of the narrators is `Abd al-`Adhīm bin `Abd Allāh al-Ḥasanī, he is at minimum praised (madḥ) or trustworthy (thiqah), depending on the rijāl scholar. Abd al-`Adhīm al-Ḥasanī was born in the city of Madīnah on the 4^th of Rabī` al-Thānī in the year 173 AH, and he died in the city of Ra’y, Iran, on the 15<sup>th</sup> of Shawwāl in the year 252 AH (other scholars say 250 and 255). Most if not all ḥadīth scholars have taken his ḥadīth. Ja`far al-Subḥānī has written a short treatise on the biography of `Abd al-`Adhīm al-Ḥasanī, which has been translated in English. Click here to read the biography.

Another thing to note is the tarīq (path) from al-Ṣadūq to `Abd `Adhīm al-Ḥasanī is Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) per al-Khoei (See: al-Khoei’s Mu`jam Rijāl al-Hadīth), al-Majlisī I (See: al-Majlisī‘s I (al-Majlisī’s father) Rawḍah al-Mutaqqīn) and al-Majlisī II (See: al-Majlisī’s Rijāl).

A final note regarding this ḥadīth is the last sentence Imām al-Riḍā (عليه السلام) said. He (عليه السلام) said, “My Father narrated that to me, from his grandfather, from his father’s from the messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)”. This shows us that the A’immah (عليهم السلام) are all connected and they ultimately receive their ḥadīth directly from the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم).

وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ الْعَظِيمِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَسَنِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي يَرْوِيهِ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَنْزِلُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا

فَقَالَ ع لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَرِّفِينَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَ اللَّهُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُنْزِلُ مَلَكاً إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ فِي الثُّلُثِ الْأَخِيرِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فَيَأْمُرُهُ فَيُنَادِي هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَأَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ وَ يَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ

فَلَا يَزَالُ يُنَادِي بِهَذَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ عَادَ إِلَى مَحَلِّهِ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاءِ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

`Abd al-`Adhīm bin `Abd Allāh al-Ḥasanī (رضي الله عنه) narrated from Ibrāhīm bin Abī Maḥmūd said, I said to al-Riḍā (عليه السلام), ‘O son of the Messenger of Allāh, what do you say about the ḥadīth which the people narrate from the Messenger of Allāh, that he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘Allāh (تبارك و تعالى) descends in every night of Friday (i.e. Thursday night) to the earth’s heavens’’.

He (عليه السلام) said: ‘May Allāh curse (la`na) those who distort the words from its place, by Allāh, the Messenger of Allāh has not said that! Verily, he (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said: ‘Allāh (تبارك و تعالى) sends down an angel to the earth’s heavens in the last third of every night, and the first part of the night of Friday (i.e. Thursday night). And He commands him to call, ‘Are there any (who) asks, so that I can grant him?’; ‘Are there any repenters that I should forgive him?’; ‘Are there (anyone) asking for forgiveness, so I can pardon him?’ O the ones who seek good, come forward! O the ones, who seek evil, keep away!’

And he (the angel) will continue calling by this until al-Fajr. And when it is al-Fajr, he (the angel) will return to spot from kingdom of the heavens. My Father narrated that to me, from his grandfather, from his father’s from the messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)’

"When They Plot By Night"

Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth that gives the tafsīr to the Qur’ānic verse where Allāh (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) says “When they plot by night of words which does not please Him (i.e. Allāh)” (Sūrah al-Nisā’ (4) : verse 108). In this ḥadīth the Imām (عليه السلام) mentions three people, “Fulān, fulān and Abū `Ubaydah al-Jarrāḥ”. Usually in the Shī`ah ḥadīth corpus when two fulān (i.e. so and so) is mention it usually always points to Abū Bakr and `Umar, the first two caliphs of Islām. This is the reason why al-Majlisī in his commentary of this ḥadīth in Mirāt al-`Uqūl says the “fulān are Abū Bakr and `Umar” (See: al-Majlisī, Mir’āt al-`Uqūl, vol. 26, pg. 489).

In this ḥadīth the primary narrator (the narrator that narrates this ḥadīth directly from the Imām) is Sulaymān al-Ja`farī. The Sulaymān al-Ja`farī in this ḥadīth is Sulaymān bin Ja`far bin Ibrāhīm al-Ja`farī, who is thiqah (trustworthy) per all Rijāl scholars (i.e. al-Najāshī, al-Ṭūsī, al-Hillī, etc). I have came to know this is the Sulaymān by looking  at the narrators whom narrate from al-Ḥussayn bin Sa`īd (the narrator who has taken the ḥadīth from Sulaymān al-Ja`farī). There are many ḥadīth in our books where the full name of Sulaymān bin Ja`far is given.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِذْ يُبَيِّتُونَ ما لا يَرْضى‏ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ (النساء -: 108 -) قَالَ يَعْنِي فُلَاناً وَ فُلَاناً وَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ

From Sulaymān al-Ja`farī said I heard Abā al-Ḥasan (عليه السلام) say about the words of Allāh (تبارك و تعالى), “When they plot by night of words which does not please Him” (Sūrah al-Nisā’: Verse 108) He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Meaning fulān (Abū Bakr), fulān (`Umar) and Abā `Ubaydah bin al-Jarrāḥ”

How to Cure Weakening Eyesight

Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth from Imām al-Ṣādiq (عليه السلام) where he gives a formula on how to cure weakening eyesight. Inshā’Allāh, we can use this if and when our eyesight weakens. There are three things that must be applied to the person equally. For each thing, I have given the Wikipedia page to what it is.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ لَنَا فَتَاةً كَانَتْ تَرَى الْكَوْكَبَ مِثْلَ الْجَرَّةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ تَرَاهُ مِثْلَ الْحُبِّ قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَصَرَهَا ضَعُفَ قَالَ اكْحُلْهَا بِالصَّبِرِ وَ الْمُرِّ وَ الْكَافُورِ أَجْزَاءً سَوَاءً قَالَ فَكَحَلْنَاهَا بِهِ فَنَفَعَهَا

From Jamīl bin Ṣāliḥ said, I said to Abī `Abd Allāh (عليه السلام), “We have a young girl, she used to see the stars like a trail (i.e. had extremely good eyesight). He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Yes, and she sees it like a grain (now)’ I said: ‘Her eyesight has become weak.’ He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Apply al-Sabr (Aloe), al-Murr (Myrrh), and Camphor to her in equal parts’ He (the narrator) said: ‘So we applied it to her, and it benefited her (i.e. her eyesight got better)’

When to Call by Kunya or Name

Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth where Imām al-Kādhim (عليه السلام) says if a person is present in your company then you should call him by his kunyah (i.e. Abū so and so, or Umm so and so), and if the person is not in your company then you call him by his name, when referring to that person.

It is customary in Arab cultures that if you do not have a child, then you make up a kunyah to be called.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ الرَّجُلُ حَاضِراً فَكَنِّهِ وَ إِذَا كَانَ غَائِباً فَسَمِّهِ

From Mu`ammar bin Khalād from Abī al-Ḥasan (عليه السلام) said: “When the man is present (in your company) then call him by his kunyah, and if he is absent then call him by his name”

Authority Only Comes from the Ahlul Bayt

Here is a Ḥasan (Good) ḥadīth that says there is no authority and knowledge except that it comes from the Ahl al-Bayt (عليهم السلام). Also, within this ḥadīth is the famous mutawātir ḥadīth of Imām `Alī (عليه السلام) where he tells the people “Salūnī (Ask me) whatever you wish”.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ فَلَا تَسْأَلُونِّي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَنْبَأْتُكُمْ بِهِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَلْيَذْهَبِ النَّاسُ حَيْثُ شَاءُوا فَوَ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا مِنْ هَاهُنَا وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِهِ

From Zurārah said, I was with Abī Ja`far (عليه السلام) and a man from the people of al-Kūfa asked him about the saying of Amīr al-Mu’minīn (عليه السلام), ‘Salūnī (Ask me) whatever you wish, and you will not ask me about a thing except that I inform you of it’. He (عليه السلام) said: ‘No one has with him knowledge of a thing except that is comes from Amīr al-Mu’minīn (عليه السلام). So people can go wherever they desire, by Allāh, there is no authority (right) except from here, and he pointed with his hand to his house (i.e. Ahl al-Bayt (عليهم السلام))’

Reward for Visiting Any of the Imams

Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth that says that visiting any of the A’immah (عليهم السلام) is like the reward for visiting al-Husayn (عليه السلام). This means the reward for visiting any of the A’immah (عليهم السلام) is the same as the reward for visiting Imām al-Ḥusayn (عليه السلام).

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ فِي ثَوَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع مَا لِمَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع قَالَ لَهُ مِثْلُ مَا لِمَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قُلْتُ مَا لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ مِثْلُ مَا لِمَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع
From al-Ḥasan bin `Alī al-Washshā‘ said, I said to al-Riḍā (عليه السلام), ‘What is (the reward) for one who comes to the grave of one of the A’immah (عليهم السلام)?’ He (عليه السلام) said to him: ‘Like what is (the reward) of the one who comes to the grave of Abī `Abd Allāh (al-Ḥussayn).’ I (al-Washshā’) said: ‘What is (the reward) for the one who visits the grave of Abī al-Ḥasan (Mūsa al-Kādhim)?’ He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Like what is (the reward) of the one who comes to the grave of Abī `Abd Allāh (al-Ḥusayn)’

Reward for Visiting Imam al-Kadhim

Here is a Ṣaḥīḥ (Authentic) ḥadīth that says that visiting the grave of Imām Mūsa al-Kādhim, in al-Kādhimayn or al-Kādhimiyyah, is like visiting the grave of Imām al-Husayn (عليه السلام). This means visiting the grave of Imām Mūsa al-Kādhim has the same reward as visiting the grave of Imām al-Husayn (عليه السلام).

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع مِثْلُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ نَعَمْ

From al-Ḥasan bin `Alī al-Washshā’ from al-Riḍa (عليه السلام) said, ‘I asked him (عليه السلام) about ziyārah (visitation) of grave Abī al-Ḥasan (Mūsa al-Kādhim), is it like (visiting) the grave al-Ḥusayn (عليه السلام)?’ He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Yes’

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَرَّازِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ حِينَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُكَ تُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْكَ حِينَ خَرَجْتَ فَهَلْ قُلْتَ شَيْئاً قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ قَالَ حِينَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ

From Abī Ḥamzah said, I saw Abā `Abd Allāh (عليه السلام) moving his lips when he wanted to leave and he was standing at the door. I said: ‘I see you moving your lips when you want to leave, did you say something?’ He (عليه السلام) said: ‘Yes, when a man leaves from his house he should say when he wants to leave:

«اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ» ثَلَاثاً

«Allāhu Akbar Allāhu Akbar» - three (times)

«بِاللَّهِ أَخْرُجُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَدْخُلُ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَتَوَكَّلُ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

«By Allāh I leave, and By Allāh I enter, and I (place my) trust in Allāh» - three times

«اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي فِي وَجْهِي هَذَا بِخَيْرٍ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ قِنِي شَرَّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ»

«O Allāh, open my direction for me with this goodness, and seal this with goodness, and protect me from every evil beast that you take by your control. My lord is upon the right path»

لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي ضَمَانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَّى يَرُدَّهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِ

He will be in the protection of Allāh (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) until Allāh returns him to his place (house) that which he was in (before)

From Abī Ḥamzah al-Thumālī said, I came to the door of `Alī bin al-Ḥussayn (عليه السلام) to accept him (i.e. greet him), when he was leaving from the door he (عليه السلام) said:

«بِسْمِ اللَّهِ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ»
«In the name of Allāh, I belive in Allāh, and I (place my) trust in Allāh»

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ عَرَضَ لَهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِذَا قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْمَلَكَانِ كُفِيتَ فَإِذَا قَالَ آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ قَالا هُدِيتَ فَإِذَا قَالَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ قَالا وُقِيتَ فَيَتَنَحَّى الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ كَيْفَ لَنَا بِمَنْ هُدِيَ وَ كُفِيَ وَ وُقِيَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عِرْضِي لَكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ إِنْ تَرَكْتَ النَّاسَ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوكَ وَ إِنْ رَفَضْتَهُمْ لَمْ يَرْفُضُوكَ قُلْتُ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ قَالَ أَعْطِهِمْ مِنْ عِرْضِكَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِكَ وَ فَاقَتِكَ

He (عليه السلام) said: ‘O Abā Ḥamzah, When a servant leaves from his house shayṭan comes to him, and if he says: ‘In the name of Allāh’, two angels will say: ‘That is enough for you.’ And when he says: ‘I believe in Allāh’. They say: ‘You are guided’ And when he says ‘I trust Allāh’ They say: ‘You are protected’ then shayṭān gives upon you and says to some of them ‘What can we do to the one who is guided, sufficed and protected?’ He (the narrator) said, then he (عليه السلام) said: ‘O Allāh, my self-respect is with you today’ then He (عليه السلام) said: ‘O Abā Ḥamzah, if you (try) abandon the people, they will not abandon you, and if reject them, they will not reject you’ I said: ‘What can I do?’ he (عليه السلام) said: ‘Give them from your self-respect for today (when) you will be impoverished and needy’
