That is the gathering whose attendants do not suffer wickedness .’ [6] In another Hadith: عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَ تَخْلُونَ وَ تَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَ تَقُولُونَ مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقُلْتُ إِي وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَخْلُو وَ نَتَحَدَّثُ وَ نَقُولُ مَا شِئْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْمَوَاطِنِ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَ إِنَّكُمْ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ دِينِ مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَأَعِينُوا بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Mohammed from ibn Faddal from ibn Muskan from Muyassir who has said: ‘Once Abu Jafar -asws asked me: ‘Do you hold private ‘Majalis’ gatherings wherein you say whatever you want (without having to observe dissimulation [7] )?’ I said, ‘Yes, I swear by Allah -azwj , we hold private ‘Majalis’ gatherings and say whatever we like to say (in praise of Mohammed -saww and his family -asws ).’ The Imam -asws said: ‘I swear by Allah -azwj , I -asws wish I -asws could be with you at such ‘Majalis’ gatherings.
I swear by Allah -azwj , I -asws love your fragrance and your spirits. You, certainly, follow the religion of Allah -azwj , and the religion of the angels -as .
Pay attention to restraining from the worldly attractions and assist yourselves with striving hard in (good) work.’ [8] Gatherings of Ugly Celebrations: عَنْهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَمَّا مَاتَ آدَمُ ( عليه السلام ) وَ شَمِتَ بِهِ إِبْلِيسُ وَ قَابِيلُ فَاجْتَمَعَا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَ إِبْلِيسُ وَ قَابِيلُ الْمَعَازِفَ وَ الْمَلَاهِيَ شَمَاتَةً بِآدَمَ ( عليه السلام ) فَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ هَذَا الضَّرْبِ الَّذِي يَتَلَذَّذُ بِهِ النَّاسُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ ذَاكَ From him, from Suleyman Bin Sama’at, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Sama’at who said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws said: ‘When Adam -as passed away and Iblees -la and Qabeel -la both rejoiced over it, and they both -la gathered in the earth.
So Iblees -la and Qabeel -la made the amusements and the musical instruments as a gloating over Adam -as . Thus, everything what was in the earth from this, the striking of which the people can get (false) pleasure with it, so rather it would be from that’.
