And he -saww used to stand up for people, not out of fear upon himself -saww nor upon them, like what he -saww feared upon me -asws , had he -saww done that with me -asws ’’ (an extract).
[3] Now, while keeping in mind of the above Ahadith, we turn to the revealed merits of Ahl Al-Bayt -asws : No one can be Compared with Ahl Al-Bayt -asws : منتخب البصائر جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْهُمُ السَّيِّدَانِ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ الْمُجْتَبَى ابْنَا الدَّاعِي الْحَسَنِيِّ وَ الْأُسْتَاذَانِ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ابْنَا كُمَيْحٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ حَمْدَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ صَنِيعِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَضَّلَ أُولِي الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ بِالْعِلْمِ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ ع وَ فَضَّلَ مُحَمَّداً ص عَلَيْهِمْ وَ وَرَّثَنَا عِلْمَهُمْ وَ فَضَّلَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي فَضْلِهِمْ وَ عَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ عَلَّمَنَا عِلْمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص (The book) ‘Muntakhab Al Basaair’ – A group, from them being the two seyyids, Al Murtaza and Al Mujtaba, two sons of the Al Daie Al-Husayni, and the two teachers Abu Al Qasim and Abu Ja’far two sons of Kumeyh, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Al Sadouq Muhammad Bin Babuwayh, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Sa’ad, from Hamdan Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Yamani, from Sanie Bin Al Hajjaj, from Al-Husayn Bin Ulwan, ‘From Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Merited the Determined Ones (Ul Al-Azam) from the Messengers -as with the knowledge, over the Prophets -as , and Merited Muhammad -saww over them -as , and we -asws have inherited their -as knowledge, and we ‑asws are merited over them in their -as merits, and they -as did not know the knowledge of Rasool-Allah -saww , and we -asws do know the knowledge of Rasool-Allah -saww .
فَرَوَيْنَاهُ لِشِيعَتِنَا فَمَنْ قَبِلَهُ مِنْهُمْ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ وَ أَيْنَمَا نَكُونُ فَشِيعَتُنَا مَعَنَا So, we -asws are narrating it to our -asws Shias. The one from them who accepts it, he is their (adherent previous Prophets -as ) superior, and wherever we -asws will happen to be, our -asws Shias would be with us -asws ’’.
