When I got ill I thought about destroying them but then I abhor that idea and instead will like you to safeguard my work, do not reveal it to anyone but after my death and only to the one whom you find trustworthy, reliable and is a staunch Shia of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws . Upon accepting these conditions of Sulaym, he gave me his book, and read all of it to me, he then passed away.
After his death, I read his book again and found it very strange and difficult as it clearly showed destruction, in the Hereafter, of all nation of the Prophet Mohammed -saww except for the followers of Amir-ul-Momineen -asws , whether they might be among the Mahajr [4] , Ansaar [5] or the Tabaie [6] . مسيرة الكتاب التاريخي ة A HISTORICAL JOURNEY OF THE BOOK كيف تعرف ابن أذينة على أبان ؟ قال عمر بن أذينة: دعاني أبان بن أبي عياش قبل موته بنحو شهر فقال لي: رأيت البارحة رؤيا، أني خليق أن أموت سريعا.
إني رأيتك الغداة ففرحت بك. إني رأيت الليلة سليم بن قيس الهلالي فقال لي: (يا أبان، إنك ميت في أيامك هذه. فاتق الله في وديعتي ولا تضيعها، وف لي بما ضمنت من كتمانها. ولا تضعها إلا عند رجل من شيعة علي بن أبي طالب صلوات الله عليه له دين وحسب). فلما بصرت بك الغداة فرحت برؤيتك وذكرت رؤياي سليم بن قيس. How did Ibn Azina come to know Abaan Umar Bin Azina said, ‘Abaan Bin Ayyash called me approximately one month before he died. He said to me, ‘I saw a dream last night that I will soon die.
I saw you this morning and happy with you. I saw Sulaym Bin Qays last night (in the dream), he said to me, ‘O Abaan, You will soon be dead during these days, so fear Allah -azwj with regard to my trust (this book) and do not let it go to waste, and be faithful to me with what responsibility I gave you for concealing it. And do not display it except in the presence of a man from the Shiites of Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws who is reputable in his religion’.
