Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Tawheedal-mufadhdhal Hadith Al-mufadhdhal In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Beneficent Muhammad bin Sinan relates that al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar narrated to him, One day, after the Asr Prayer, I sat between the pulpit and the tomb (of the Prophet) pondering over the excellences with which Allah had endowed our master (peace be upon him and his progeny) of honor and virtues and of which the public of the Umma had no apperception, nor of his supreme eminence, perfect merit and outstanding grandeur.
While I was absorbed in such thoughts, there arrived ibn Abul Awja, an atheistic pagan. He took his seat within my hearing distance. A comrade of his followed him and sat by him attentively. Ibn Abul Awja started the conversation saying, The occupant of this tomb has attained unique eminence in the entirety of elevated honor in all his accomplishments. His comrade adding an affirmation said, He () was a philosopher. He made a mighty claim supported by miracles that confounded the common sense.
The wiseacres dived deep in minds depths to penetrate the mysteries thereof, but all in vain. When his mission was accepted by the cultured, the erudite and the learned, the people in general entered the fold of his Faith in masses.
The places of worship and the mosques of all places where the call to his prophethood reached began to ring loud and clear with his name side by side with that of the Almighty Allah, without any distinction of sea and land, mountain or plain, not once but five times a day in the Azan and Eqama. He got his name attached to that of Allah with the express object of perpetuating his memory and to keep his mission dynamic.
Ibn Abul Awja remarked, Leave aside the mention of Muhammad about whom my reason is astounded and my thoughts are bewildered. Let us talk about the matter we want to discuss. Then he mentioned the genesis of things in the universe. He claimed that no one had created them and there exists no Creator, nor Designer, nor Renovator. The universe by itself has come to existence and will continue to exist as such as infinitum.
Al-Mufadhdhal argues with Ibn Abul Awja Al-Mufadhdhal says, I was outraged to hear this and I said to him O disbeliever! Do you disbelieve in the Faith of Allah and deny Him, Who has created you in such comeliness transforming you from one state to another till you have arrived at your present shape?
