Allah revealed unto him...

Allah revealed unto him: " O Isa, surely, this servant of mine came through a gate other than the one through which I am reached. He prayed while his heart had doubts about you. So, (even) if he called upon me till his neck were severed and his fingers fell apart, I would not answer him." Then Isa approached him and said: "You call upon your Lord while your heart doubts His Prophet?" He said: "O Spirit of Allah, and His word, by Allah, it was like what you said.

Now, please pray unto Him to remove that from me." Then Isa prayed (for him) and Allah accepted it from him, and he was again reverted to his household. Similar is the case of us Ahlul Bayt. Allah does not accept the acts of devotion from a servant who doubts about us.

Al-Harith Al-Hamadani and ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad ibn al-Zubair reported to me from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Mahdi, who reported from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali ibn Amru who reported from his father, from Jamil ibn Swaleh, from Abu Khalid al-Kabuli, from al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah who said: Al-Harith Al-Hamadani called upon Amirul Mu’mineen (‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib) with a company of the Shi’ahs, and I was among them.

Al-Harith walked with a bent stature, hitting his walking stick hard on the ground. He was indeed ill. So Amirul Mu’mineen came close to him and al-Harith had a good standing in his estimation, and he said: "How do you find yourself, O Harith?" He said: "The vicissitude of time has overtaken me, and the dispute among your companions about you and the three before you, has added to my anguish and anger.

There are those who have gone to the extreme in their passionate love for you, and those who are yours in moderation, and those who waver in doubt, not knowing whether to proceed or recoil." He (‘Ali) said: "Suffice it for you, Oh brother (from) Hamadan! Be it known that my best followers are the people united on the middle path.

To them should the extremists return, and with them should the hesitants join." Then al-Harith said: "My father and mother be your ransom, could you (further clarify so as to) remove the filth from our hearts, and (to) make us as sure about our affair as seeing with one's eyes?" He (peace be upon him) said: "That is enough for you. You are possessed by confusion. Surely, the religion of Allah is not known (or judged) by the people, it is recognized by the sign of Truth.

Know the Truth, and you shall know its people.
