Ibn Al Mutawakkal...
Ibn Al Mutawakkal, from Ali, from his father, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan -asws said: ‘One who says (believes) in the reincarnation, he is a Kafir ’’. [8] Are they eating goat’s meat or that of their Reincarnated father?
الإحتجاج عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الزِّنْدِيقُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّنْ قَالَ بِتَنَاسُخِ الْأَرْوَاحِ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ قَالُوا ذَلِكَ وَ بِأَيِّ حُجَّةٍ قَامُوا عَلَى مَذَاهِبِهِمْ From Hisham Bin Al Hakam, ‘An atheist asked Abu Abdullah -asws and he said, ‘Inform me about the ones who say (believe) in the reincarnation of the souls. From which thing are they saying that?
And by which argument are they standing upon their doctrines?’ قَالَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ التَّنَاسُخِ قَدْ خَلَّفُوا وَرَاءَهُمْ مِنْهَاجَ الدِّينِ وَ زَيَّنُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمُ الضَّلَالاتِ وَ أَمْرَجُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فِي الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاءَ خَاوِيَةٌ مَا فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِمَّا يُوصَفُ وَ أَنَّ مُدَبِّرَ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ فِي صُورَةِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ بِحُجَّةِ مَنْ رَوَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ آدَمَ عَلَى صُورَتِهِ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا جَنَّةَ وَ لَا نَارَ وَ لَا بَعْثَ وَ لَا نُشُورَ وَ الْقِيَامَةُ عِنْدَهُمْ خُرُوجُ الرُّوحِ مِنْ قَالَبِهِ وَ وُلُوجُهُ فِي قَالَبٍ آخَرَ He -asws said: ‘The companions of the reincarnation have left behind the manifesto of the Religion, and they adorned for themselves the straying and please themselves in the desires, and the claimed that the sky is empty, there is nothing in it from what is being described, and that the Regulator of this universe is in the image of the creatures, by an argument of the one who reported that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam -as upon His -azwj Image, and there is neither a Paradise, nor a Fire, nor a Resurrection, nor a Day of Judgment, and the Day of Judgment with them is the exit of the soul from its mould and its insertion into another mould.
إِنْ كَانَ مُحْسِناً فِي القَالَبِ الْأَوَّلِ أُعِيدَ فِي قَالَبٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ حُسْناً فِي أَعْلَى دَرَجَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُسِيئاً أَوْ غَيْرَ عَارِفٍ صَارَ فِي بَعْضِ الدَّوَابِّ الْمُتْعَبَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ هَوَامَّ مُشَوَّهَةِ الْخِلْقَةِ If it were good in the first mould (body), it would return to be in a mould superior than it, better in a higher level of the world.
And if it was evil or unknown, it would come to be in one of the animals as a consequence, in the world, or he would be of a distorted creation.
