If an issue would come before us for which there is nothing with us the Holy Spirit provides us inspiration." H 1037, Ch. 99, h 4 Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from 'Imran ibn A'yan from Ju'ayd al-Hamadani who has said the following. "Once I asked Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), "By what mean do you issue judgments?" The Imam (a.s.) said, "We judge by the laws of Allah and the judgment of the family of David.

If a case would frustrate us the Holy Spirit inspires us with its laws." H 1038, Ch. 99, h 5 Ahmad ibn Mihran, may Allah grant him blessings, has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ali from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from 'Ammar al-Sabati who has said the following.

"Once I said to abu 'Abdallah, "What is the degree of the excellence of the Imams?" He said, "It is like that of Dhul Qarnayn and like that of Yusha' and like that of Asaf, the companion of Sulayman." He asked, "With what do you issue judgments." The Imam (a.s.) said, " We issue judgments according to the laws of Allah the judgments of the family of David. The Holy Spirit inspires us with it." Chapter 100 : The fountain head of Knowledge is Ala Muhammad (a.s.) H 1039, Ch.

100, h 1 A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub who has said that Yahya ibn 'Abdallah abu al-Hassan the companion of al-Daylam narrated to us and who has said the following. "Once I heard Ja'far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) say while a group of people of Kufa was present before him, "It is very strange of the people. They have received their knowledge from the Messenger of Allah.

They have followed such knowledge and found guidance but they think that his (members of his family) have not received his knowledge. We are his (members of his family) and his descendants. In our house Divine inspiration came down and from us knowledge came out to them. Do they think that they have learned and found guidance but we remained ignorant and lost.

This, certainly, is not possible." 2 Ali ibn Muhammad ibn 'Abdallah has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from 'Abdallah ibn Hammad from Sabbah al-Muzanni from al-Harith ibn Husayra from al-Hakam ibn 'Utayba who has said the following. "A man met al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) at al-Tha'laba on his way to Karbala. He came in his presence and offered Islamic greetings to him.
