Then convey this matter to Ishaqi and his townspeople and inform about this sinner man and also whoever who has inquired about it or would inquire from you in the future.” [2] Hasan Sharii But Hasan Sharii was a liar and a Dajjal (mischief-maker) and was formerly a companion of His Eminence, Imam Hadi (a.s) and Imam Hasan Askari (a.s) and later he became an apostate. He claimed to be the holder of the venerable position of the deputyship of His Eminence, Imam Mahdi (a.s).

And he attributed those things to the Holy Imams did not befit them. [1] Ghaybah, Shaykh Tusi; Mojamur Rijalul Hadith Vol. 2 Pg. 369 [2] Ghaybah, Shaykh Tusi Those great personalities dissociated themselves from him. Therefore the Shias have also sought aloofness from him and cursed him. His Eminence has also cursed him in one of his blessed epistles.

[1] Husain bin Mansur Husain bin Mansur al-Hallaj was another liar, deviant and misguider from truth who claimed deputyship of His Eminence, the Awaited Imam (a.s). And he requested the prominent Shias to accept his deputyship. Therefore he sent a letter to Abu Sahl Nawbakhti and desired from him that he join him and promised to give him a lot of wealth. Nawbakhti replied, “I am a person who is fond of bondmaids but my old age is an obstacle in my enjoyments.

Every Friday I am compelled to dye my grey hair. So it would be very nice if you can make me needless of hair dye, save me from this expense and also make my beard black. If you do this I shall become your follower and it would also prove the veracity of your claim! Consequently I would become your greatest companion and propagator.” Hallaj was perplexed by this demand of Nawbakhti and this incident became public knowledge.

It became a topic of great amusement while the deceit and deviation of Hallaj became clear for the people. An example of Hallaj's fraud is as follows: He invited an intelligent person to dinner.

When he arrived at his place, Hallaj told him, “If I stretch my hands towards the river, I could catch a live fish from there.” Then he went into the room and came back with a big live fish in his hands and presented it to his guest saying, “This is my miracle.” Perchance there was a knock at the door from inside. Hallaj went inside and the guest also [1] Ghaybah, Shaykh Tusi, Al-Ihtijaj, Tabarsi, Mojam Rijalul Hadith, Vol. 5, Pg.
