(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Khallad Al Muqry...
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Khallad Al Muqry, from Qays Bin Al Rabie, from Lays Bin Suleyman, from Ibn Abu Layli, ‘From Al-Husayn -asws Bin Ali -asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Necessitate our -asws cordiality of People -asws of the Household, for the one who meets Allah -azwj while he was being cordial to us -asws People -asws of the Household, would enter the Paradise by our -asws intercession.
By the One -azwj in Whose Hand is my -saww soul, no servant would benefit by his deed except by recognition of our -asws rights’’.
[15] 116 وَ سَأَلَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ مَنْ يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْراً كَثِيراً مَا عَنَى بِذَلِكَ And Abu Baseer asked him -asws about the Words of Allah -azwj the Exalted: And the one who is Given the Wisdom, so he has been Given abundant good [2:269] , ‘What is the meaning of that?’ فَقَالَ مَعْرِفَةَ الْإِمَامِ وَ اجْتِنَابَ الْكَبَائِرِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَيْسَ فِي رَقَبَتِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لِإِمَامٍ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ لَا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفُوا إِمَامَهُمْ He -asws said: ‘Recognition of the Imam -asws and shunning the major sins; and one who dies and there isn’t in his neck an allegiance to the Imam -asws , dies a death of the pre-Islamic period, nor are the people excused until they do recognise their Imam -asws .
فَمَنْ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ لِإِمَامِهِ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ تَقَدَّمَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ أَوْ تَأَخَّرَ فَكَانَ كَمَنْ هُوَ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ So, the one who dies and he is a recogniser of his Imam -asws , it would not harm him whether this command (rising of Al-Qaim -asws ) is brought forward or delayed, and he would be like the one who is with Al-Qaim -asws in his -asws tent.
قَالَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ كَمَنْ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ وَ اللَّهِ كَمَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he -asws paused for a while, then said: ‘No, but like the one who fought alongside him -asws ’. Then he -asws said: ‘No, but, by Allah -azwj , like the one who was martyred with Rasool-Allah -saww .
