[10] قرب الإسناد ابْنُ عِيسَى عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع إِنَّ أَهْلَ مِصْرَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ بِلَادَهُمْ مُقَدَّسَةٌ (The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – Ibn Isa, from Al Bazanty who said, ‘I said to Al-Reza -asws , ‘The people of Egypt are claiming that their city is Holy!’ قَالَ وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ He -asws said: ‘And how is that so?’ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ يُحْشَرُ مِنْ جَبَلِهِمْ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws !
They are claiming that seventy thousand (people) will be Resurrected from their mountain, entering the Paradise without any Reckoning’. قَالَ لَا لَعَمْرِي مَا ذَاكَ كَذَلِكَ وَ مَا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَّا أَدْخَلَهُمْ مِصْرَ وَ لَا رَضِيَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَخْرَجَهُمْ مِنْهَا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا He -asws said: ‘No, by my life!
That is not like that, and Allah -azwj was not Wrathful upon the children of Israel except due to their entering Egypt, and was not Pleased with them except due to their going out from it to somewhere else.
وَ لَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص- لَا تَغْسِلُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ بِطِينِهَا وَ لَا تَأْكُلُوا فِي فَخَّارِهَا فَإِنَّهُ يُورِثُ الذِّلَّةَ وَ يَذْهَبُ بِالْغَيْرَةِ And Rasool-Allah -saww had said: ‘Neither wash your heads with their clay nor be eating in their pottery, for it inherits the disgrace and does away with the self-esteem (Ghayra)’’. قُلْنَا لَهُ قَدْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص We said to him -asws , ‘Rasool-Allah -saww had said that?’ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ. He -asws said: ‘Yes’’.
