Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Jesus through Shiite Narrations God’s Words to Jesus Allah revealed to Jesus the son of Mary (‘a), “O Jesus! I do not forget those who forget Me, so how could I forget those who remember Me! I am not stingy with those who disobey Me, so how could I be stingy with those who obey Me.”[^1] Allah, the Exalted, revealed to Jesus (‘a), “O Jesus the son of the virgin, al-Batul!

Cry over yourselves, like one who says his last good-bye to his family, loathes the world, abandons it to its people, and who has come to desire what is near his God.”[^2] It is reported that among what was revealed to Jesus (‘a) is: “Do not be deceived by those who are disobedient to Me, who eat what I provide for them, but worship other than Me, then they call Me when they are worried, so I answer them, then they go back to what they did. Do they disobey Me or want to anger Me?

[I swear] by Myself! I will take them in such a way that there is no deliverance from it and there is no refuge but Me.

Where can they flee from My sky and My earth?”[^3] ‘Abdullah ibn al-Walid said, “Abu ‘Abdullah (‘a) said to me, ‘What do the followers say about Jesus, Moses and the Commander of the Faithful, peace be with them?’ I said, ‘They say, “Verily Jesus and Moses are better than the Commander of the Faithful.”’ He said, ‘Do they think that he knew every thing that the Apostle of Allah knew?’ I said, ‘Yes, but they do not prefer anyone over the possessors of determination (Ulu al-‘Azm) among the apostles.’ Abu ‘Abdullah (‘a) said, ‘Argue with them by the Book of Allah.’ I said, ‘From which place of it?’ He said, ‘Allah, the Exalted, said to Moses, We wrote in the tablets some knowledge of everything for him.

(7:145) He did not write everything for Moses. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said to Jesus, I will explain for you something that you differ about.

(43:63) And Allah, the Exalted, said to Muhammad, We brought you as a witness over them and revealed the Book to you explaining clearly everything.(16:89) [^4] It is reported that Sayyid said that among the ahadith from the Imams he saw, “Allah, the Exalted, ordered Adam to pray toward the West, and Noah to pray toward the East, and Abraham to gather them, and this is the Ka‘abah. When Moses was commissioned, He ordered him to revive the religion of Adam.

When Jesus was commissioned, He ordered him to revive the religion of Noah.
