Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Uyun Akhbar Al-reza the Source of Traditions On Imam Reza (a.s.) Chapter Fifteen: Another Session With Al-reza (s) and Al-ma’mun On the Infallibility of the Prophets 15-1 Tamim ibn Abdullah ibn Tamim al-Qurashi - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Hamdan ibn Soleiman al-Neishaboori, on the authority of Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Jahm that he entered a session held by Al-Ma’mun.

Ali ibn Musa Al-Reza (s) was also there. Al-Ma’mun asked him, “O Son of the Prophet! Don’t you say that the Prophets (s) are innocent?” Imam Al-Reza (s) replied, “Yes.” Al-Ma’mun asked, “Then what is meant by the following Quranic verse, ‘... Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.’ [252] “ Imam Al-Reza (s) said, “The Almighty God told Adam, ‘ Dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden.

And eat of the beautiful things therein as (where and when) ye will, but approach not this tree.’ [253] He pointed to the wheat tree.

[254] God added, ‘ Or ye run into harm and transgression.’ [255] God did not tell them, ‘Do not eat of this tree and other trees of the same type.’ 15 بابُ ذِكرِ مَجْلِسَ آخَرَ لِلرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ عِنْدَ الْمَأمُونَ فِي عِصمَةِ الأَنْبِياءِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ‏ 1 - حَدَّثَنا تَمِيمُ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ تَمِيمُ القُرَشِي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَني أَبي عَنْ حَمْدانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمان النِيْسابُوريُّ، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الجَهْمِ قالَ حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ الْمَأْمُونِ وَعِنْدَهُ الرِّضَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَأْمُونُ: يَا بْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ، أَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ أَنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ مَعْصُومُونَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى.

قَالَ: فَمَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ (وَعَصى‏ آدَمُ رَبَّهُ فَغَوى‏)؟ فَقَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَالَ لآِدَمَ: (اسْكُنْ أَنْتَ وَزَوْجُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَكُلا مِنْها رَغَداً حَيْثُ شِئْتُما وَلا تَقْرَبا هذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ) وَأَشَارَ لَهُمَا إِلَى شَجَرَةِ الْحِنْطَةِ (فَتَكُونا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ) وَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُمَا: لا تَأْكُلا مِنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ وَلا مِمَّا كَانَ مِنْ جِنْسِهَا.

The two of them did not approach that tree, nor did they eat from it. However, after being tempted by Satan they ate from another tree. [256] Satan told them, ‘... Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest you should become angels or such beings as live forever.’ [257] Satan swore to them that he was their sincere advisor.
