Summary:

A Short article is compiled to refute claims of an Iraqi citizen (Ahmed Al-Hasan), where he declares to be performing a ‘Divine Duty’ as an Infallible (Masoom) person (Nouzobillah)1. He also claims to be ‘Al-Yamani’2 – a clear contradiction since one cannot hold two positions at the same time (an Infallible Imam as well as ‘Al-Yamani’ – who is a Shia: a follower of an Infallible Imamajfj).

Ahmed Al-Hasan also alleges to be the 4th descendants of Imam Mahdiajfj Ibn Hassan Al-Askariasws – which means his father, grandfather and great grandfather have collectively lived, over 1000 years (since the Grand Occultation of Imam Mahdiajfj Ibn Hassan Al-Askariasws started in 329 A.H. when the Imamajfj was approximately 74 years old).3 This is impossible to justify, as no one has any authentic information to ‘Nikah’ (marriage) of Imam Mahdiajfj Ibn Hassan Al-Askariasws, neither during the ‘minor occultation’ nor the ‘major occultation’. However, historically, several tyrants from Bani Ummaid and Bani Abbas have named their sons as ‘Mahdi’, and also several people have claimed to be Imam Mahdiajfj

(Nouzobillah), so Ahmad Hasan is not an exception (hence on their footsteps).

One may ask, why are you putting together a reply to such an unbelievable ‘call’ and clearly false and self-proclaimed virtues? Firstly, one of our regular members informed us that a person known to her has become one of Ahmed Al-Hasan’s followers, secondly, news of some other twelve Imami Shias, indicate an interest and inclination in his claims and thirdly he (Ahmed Al-Hasan) alleges that he has a growing follow-ship in many countries including ‘Iran, Pakistan, al-Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Morocco, Najd and Al-Hejaz (Arabic peninsula), Lebanon, china, Australia, Canada, England, Sweden, USA, and others’. Hence it becomes important for us to look into his claims and refute it in the light of Ahadith of Masomeenasws.

For Shias, he (Ahmed Al-Hasan) claims that he is the forth grandson of Imam Mohammad Al-Mahdiasws Ibn Hassan Askariasws (see below the quotes from Ahmed Al-Hasan’s website). He also claimed that there will be twelve Mahdis after the twelve Imamsasws and he is one of

th of Shaban in 255 A.H.

them (Nouzobillah). And he alleges to be Al-Yamani who will rise before the re-appearance of 12th Imamasws.

For Sunnis, Ahmed Al-Hasan claims that he is ‘the Mahdi whose birth at the end of times was promised by the Prophet Muhammadsaww to the Sunni Muslims’. Hence, a reviver of the religion.

For Christians and Jews, Ahmed Al-Hasan claims: ‘He is the comforter promised by the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, mentioned in the Gospel, and the Saviour whom Prophet Elijah promised to be sent to the Jews. He set out with his great divine call in 1999 in Iraq and from there it spread to the world’.

First we present these quotes from his (Ahmed Al-Hasan) site, and then deal with his claims as per the traditions of Masomeenasws, as per the twelve Imami Shia beliefs.

Quotes from Ahmed Al-Hasan’s website:

An Iraqi citizen says:

My name is Ahmed, son of Ismael, son of Saleh, son of Hussain, son of Salman, son of

Muhamad Al Mahdi. My father's name is Ismael. My first grandfather is Saleh,

second grandfather is Hussain, third grandfather is Salman, and my fourth

grandfather is Muhammad Al-Mahdi, meaning that Imam Al-Mahdi is my fourth

grandfather….(ref: http://www.saviorofmankind.com/).

It is also claimed that:

‘Imam Ahmed Al-Hasan is the successor and messenger of Imam Al-Mahdi Muhammad son of Al-Hasan,

peace be upon him, to all the people. He is the promised Yamani to the Shia Muslims

and the Mahdi whose birth at the end of times was promised by the Prophet Muhammad to the Sunni

Muslims.

He is the comforter promised by the Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, mentioned in the Gospel, and the

Savior whom prophet Elijah promised to be sent to the Jews. He set out with his great divine call in 1999

in Iraq and from there it spread to the world ….(ref: http://www.saviorofmankind.com/)..

Then the Will of Rasool Allahsaww is quoted: where it is stated:

‘O Ali, you are my successor over my family, their living and their deceased, and over my women......(then 12 Imams are introduced one by one). These are the twelve Imams. After him there will be twelve Mahdis. So if God receives him, let him hand it over to his son, the first of

the close ones. He has three names, one like mine and my father’s: Abdullah (servant of God), Ahmed, and

the third name is al-Mahdi. He is the first of the believers.”

Ahmed Al-Hasan says in ‘Sermon of Hajj’:

The truth I say unto you, that I did not initiate asking for allegiance to be given to me;

rather, what happened in the time of the tyrant Saddam was that a group of students

from the Hawza Elmiyya in Najaf Al-Ashraf decided to give allegiance to me as a

messenger from Imam Al-Mahdi after seeing visions, revelations, and miracles. They

then began requesting allegiance be given to me from the other students of the Hawza

Elmiyya in Najaf, Allah knows so and they know so. And that was the first allegiance.

Then people apostated except for a few who were loyal to Allah’s swt covenant, and

the ones who apostated began saying that the visions and revelation were from jinn,

and that the miracles were witchcraft.

Ahmed Al-Hasan further says in the same sermon:

All praise be to Allah who made me similar to Thul Qarnain and made me similar to

Ali, the Prince of Believers, and all praise be to Allah who did not make me request

Imamate but made it request me instead. (ref. From Sermon of Hajj:

http://www.saviorofmankind.com).

Our reply:

Ahmed Al-Hasan says, his movement (as per his website) started in 1999, when some students of Islamic school (Houza) in Najaf (Iraq), through ‘visions’, believed in him as a ‘messenger from Imam Al-Mahdi’, however later on most of them realised that those visions were from jinn and part of witchcraft. This, however, encouraged Ahmed Al-Hasan to make further claims and even to bring himself to the level of ‘Ismah’ (the Infallibility – which is reserved for the Prophetsas and Imamsasws). His claims are based on the followings four points and we will reply to each of those in the following sections:

1. Visions and Dreams 2. The Twelve Mahdis 3. Al-Yamani 4. ‘Ismah’ (Infallibility)

1. Vision and Dreams:

Imamasws says:

ه السالم( قال الرؤيا على ثالثة وجوه علي بن إب راهيم عن أبيه عن ابن أب عمي عن سعد بن أب خلف عن أب عبد الله )علييطا ن و أضغاث أحالم.بشارة من الله للمؤمن و تذير من الش

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Sa’d Bin Abu Khalaf, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the dreams are of three aspects - Good News from Allahazwj for the Momin, and a caution against the Satanla, and confused dreams’.4

عت أبا السن ) د قال س ر بن خال د بن عيسى عن معم د بن يي عن أحد بن مم ا رأيت الرؤيا مم عليه السالم( ي قول ربرها و الرؤيا على ما ت عب ر. فأعب

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muammar Bin Khallaad who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying: ‘Sometimes Iasws see the dream, so Iasws interpret it, and the dream is upon what you interpret’.5

A religion cannot be based upon ‘visions and dreams’. There are so many sects and cults in the world, particularly in Islam, where people have based their beliefs on visions. There is no doubt that Ibleesla cannot come in dreams in the appearance of a Prophetas/Imamasws as well as theirasws followers (e.g., Appendix I) but the interpretation of a dream cannot be free from doubts, as we see many dreams and sometimes chains of dreams and broken up dreams in which we see other momineen, deceased and pleasant/unpleasant matters. So one cannot take a religion on a dream, as Imamasws says:

م ( قال قال ما ت روي هذه الناصبة ف قلت علي بن إب راهيم عن أبيه عن ابن أب عمي عن ابن أذي نة عن أب عبد الله ) عليه السالب رهه ف الن وم ف قال كذبوا فن فداك فيما ذا ف قال ف أذانم و ركوعهم و سجودهم ف قلت إن هم ي قولون إن أب بن كع جعلت

دين الله عز و جل أعز من أن ي رى ف الن وم

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘What are these Hostile Ones (Nasibis) reporting?’ So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! With regards to what?’ So heasws said: Regarding their Azans, and their Rukū and their Sajud (plural of Sajdah)’. So I said, ‘They are saying that Abayy Bin Ka’ab saw it during the sleep (dream)’. So heasws said: ‘They are lying, for the Religion of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is more Honourable than for it to be seen during the sleep (dream)’. …(see the complete Hadith in the Appendix II).6

Who Don’t See Dreams:

الرؤياو قال ص ل يزن أحدكم أن ت رفع عنه الرؤيا فنه إذا رسخ ف العلم رفعت عنه

The Prophetsaww said: You should not be sad when you do not see a dream. The highly educated ones cannot see visions.7

Clarification on Dreams:

A companion of Imamasws goes to Imamasws to verify what he was told by the Imamasws in his dream.

عمان عن سويد القالنسي عن بش ن ذكره عن علي بن الن د بن السن الطاطري عم ان عن أب عبد الله قال ق لت مم ه ي الدم و لم النزير ف قلت ل هو له إن رأيت ف المنام أن ق لت لك إن القتال م مام المفروض طاعته حرام مثل الميتة و الد ع غي ال

كذلك ف قال أبو عبد الله هو كذلك هو كذلك

Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Tatriy has narrated from those who he has mentioned in his book - from Ali ibn al-Nu'rnan from Suwayd al-Qalanisiy from Bashir al-Dahhan who has said:

‘I once said to Abu 'Abd Allahasws 'I saw a dream in which I said to youasws, "Fighting alongside the one who other than an Imamasws (and) whose obedience is not obligatory, is unlawful just like consuming dead animals, blood and pork for food. Youasws said to me (in my dream), 'That is how it is! Abu 'Abd Allahasws then said, 'That is how it is! That is how it is!8

د بن ي عمان عن سويد القالنسي عن بشي عن أب عب مم د بن السي عن علي بن الن د الله قال ق لت له إن ي عن مممام المفت م و لم النزير ف قلت ل ن عم هو رأيت ف المنام أن ق لت لك إن القتال مع غي ال رض طاعته حرام مثل الميتة و الد

كذلك ف قال أبو عبد الله هو كذلك هو كذلك

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Hussain, from Ali ibn al-Nu'rnan from Suwayd al-Qalanisiy from Bashir who has said:

‘I once said to Abu 'Abd Allahasws: 'I saw a dream in which I said to youasws, "Fighting alongside other than an Imamasws to whom obedience is not obligatory is unlawful like consuming dead animals, blood and pork for food, and you said to me, 'Yes, that is how it is.’ Abu 'Abd Allahasws then said, 'That is how it is! That is how it is!9

The above Ahadith clearly prove that one has to verify one’s interpretation of dreams, prior to the our times, shias used to visit holy Imamasws to confirm their interpretation of dreams, these days one also need to see if correct interpretation of his/her dream is derived. For example in the case of Ahmed Al-Hasan, if his claims are against doctrine of Masomeenasws, any justification for his support based on one’s visions/dream(s) is obviously going to be invalid and completely unlawful.

Religion can only be Based on Holy Book and Ahadith:

قال : وقال أمي املؤمني ) عليه السالم ( : من أخذ دينه من أفواه الرجال أزالته الرجال ، ومن أخذ دينه من الكتاب والسنة زالت اجلبال ، ومل يزل ، قال : وهذا الرب مروي عن الصادق ) عليه السالم ( ، عن أمياملؤمني ) عليه السالم ( .

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘One who takes his Religion from the mouths of other men, they would (make) him wandering (in doubts), but the one who takes his Religion from the Book and the Sunnah (Ahadith), then the mountains may move but he would not stray (remain firm on his/her’s beliefs)’. He (the author of the book said), ‘This is reported from Al-Sadiqasws, (and who) from Amir Al-Momineenasws’.[3]

2. The Twelve Mahdis

Here a quote is presented from the ‘Will of Rasool Allahsaww ‘O Ali, you are my successor over my family, their living and their deceased, and over my women......(then 12 Imams are introduced one by one by Rasool Allahsaww in the long Sermon – which we are not reporting here). These are the twelve Imams. After him10 there will be twelve Mahdis.

One cannot base one’s religion without thoroughly analysing all Ahadith of Masomeenasws, the same above Hadith was also used by the ‘Waqafis’ who believed in only seven Imams (see our refutation of Waqafis: https://www.hubeali.com/articles/ReplyToWaqafiSectBeliefs.pdf).

Below, we present a Hadith, where it is emphasised that one must consider other Ahadith too for the clarity, as Imamasws says:

د عن عثمان بن عيسى عن أب أيوب الزاز عن مم ة من أصحابنا عن أحد بن مم د بن مسلم عن أب عبد الله ) عليه عدء و فالن عن رسول الله ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( ل ي ت همون بالكذب ف يجي السالم ( قال ق لت له ما بال أق وام ي روون عن فالن

منكم خالفه قال إن الديث ي نسخ كما ي نسخ القرهن .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from usman Bin Isa, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazzaz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws, said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘What is the matter that the people are reporting from so and so, from Rasool Allahsaww, youasws are not accusing them of the lying, and there is coming from youasws, different to it?’ Heasws said: ‘The Hadeeth Abrogates just as the Quran Abrogates’11 See other Ahadith where Truth and

Wasail ul Shia, H. 33403 10 Here there seems to be typing/report mistake, it should have been after them or after ‘him’ refers to the last Imam? 11

falsehood are mixed to obtain desired conclusions in Appendix III. Also see some Ahadith on the authentication of Ahadith.

So let’s try to find from Ahadith who are meant by the twelve Mahdis?

Who are the Twelve Mahdis in Ahadith?

Narrated to us Ahmad bin Ziyad bin Ja’far Hamdani: Narrated to us Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim from his father from Abdus Salam bin Salih Harawi that he said: Informed us Waki bin Jarrah from Rabi bin Saad from Abdur Rahman bin Salit that he said:

Hussainasws Ibne Aliasws Ibne Abi Talibasws said: “From usasws there are twelve Mahdis, the first of whom is Amir-ul-Momineen Aliasws Ibne Abi Talibasws and the last of whom is myasws ninth descendant. And heasws (the 9th son of Imam Hussainasws) is truly the Imam Al-Qaimasws (the 12th Imamasws)12 Allahazwj will Revive the earth after its death through himasws. And through himasws triumph Hisazwj Religion over all the religions even if the polytheists may dislike this.

There will be occultation for himasws during which communities will apostate but others will remain steadfast on religion. They will be tortured and told: If you are on truth when will this promise be fulfilled? Know that one who observes patience during those tribulations will be like one who fights the holy war under the command of the Rasool Allahsaww.”13

Narrated to us Ali bin Ahmad bin Abdullah bin Ahmad bin Abi Abdullah Barqi: Narrated to us my father from my grandfather Ahmad bin Abi Abdullah from his father Muhammad bin Khalid from Muhammad bin Sinan and Abi Ali Zarrad, all of them from Ibrahim Al-Karkhi that he said:

“I went to Abu Abd Allah Ja’farasws Ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiqasws and was sitting in hisasws presence when Abu Al-Hasan Musaasws Ibn Ja’farasws entered while heasws was a boy. I stood up, kissed himasws and sat with himasws. Then Abu Abdullahasws remarked, “O Ibrahim! Know that, heasws is your master after measws. Know that, concerning him one group will be destroyed while another will be saved. Then may Allahazwj Curse hisasws killer and multiply Hisazwj Chastisement for the one who fights against himasws. Know that, certainly Allahazwj will Bring out from hisasws progeny the best of the inhabitants of the earth in hisajfj time. Heajfj will be named after hisajfj grandfather, heajfj will be the inheritor of this knowledge and hissaww laws in hisajfj judgments, the treasure-chest of Imamate and the fountainhead of wisdom. The tyrant king of Bani (Abbas) will kill himasws after hisasws amazing acts, due to envy. But Allahazwj (Mighty and Glorified be He) will convey Hisazwj Affairs even if the polytheists dislike it.

And Allahazwj will Bring forth from hisasws progeny the completion of twelve Mahdi (guided leaders). Allahazwj has Chosen them for Hisazwj Nobility, Permitted for them the abode of Hisazwj Holiness and the twelfth awaited oneajfj is from them, as if with an open sword standing in front of Rasool Allahsaww in his defence.” Then a person from the friends of Bani Umayyah entered due to which Imamasws had to cut short his speech.

I returned to Abu Abd Allahasws eleven times after that so that heasws may complete hisasws discourse but heasws was unable to do so (due to the presence of government spies). In the coming year, which was the second year, I went to himasws while heasws was sitting. Heasws said, “O Ibrahim! Heajfj is the one who will provide salvation to hisajfj Shias after intense straitening, lengthy calamities, grief and fear. Then congratulations to one who lives till hisajfj time. This is enough for you O Ibrahim.” Ibrahim said, ‘Then nothing was dearer to my heart or soothed my eyes more than this talk.’”14

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Zayd Abu Al Hassan, from Al Hakam Bin Abu Nuaym who said,

‘I went over to Abu Ja’farasws and heasws was in Al-Medina, and I said to himasws, ‘Upon me there is a vow between Al-Rukn (a corner of the Kaaba) and Al-Maqam (of Ibrahimas) that if I were to meet youasws, I will not exit from Al-Medina until I know (for certain) whether youasws are the Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww or not’. But, heasws did not answer me with anything.

مرن ف قال يا حكم و إنك لاهنا ب عد ف قلت ن عم إن أخب رتك با جعلت لله علي ف لم تأ فأقمت ثالثي ي وما ث است قب لن ف طريق هن عن شي بن بشي و مل ت ن ر علي غدوة المنزل ف غدوت علي ء و مل ت ه ف قال ) عليه السالم ( سل عن حاجتك ء ف قال بك

So I stayed for thirty days, then heasws met me in a street and heasws said: ‘O Hakeym, and you are still over here?’ So I said, ‘Yes. I did inform youasws with what I had Made for (the Sake of) Allahazwj upon me, but youasws did not instruct me nor did youasws forbid me about anything, and youasws did not answer me with anything’. Heasws said: ‘Come tomorrow early in the morning to the house’. So I went the next morning to himasws, and heasws said to me: ‘Ask your need’.

أن ل أخرج من المدينة حىت أعلم أنك قائم ف قلت إن جعلت لله علي نذرا و صياما و صدقة ب ي الركن و المقام إن أنا لقيتك د أم ل فن كنت أنت رابط تك و إن مل تكن أنت سرت ف األرض فطلبت المعاش هل مم

So I said, ‘I made it (for the Sake of) Allahazwj, a vow upon me and some Fasts and charity between Al-Rukn and Al-Maqam that if I were to meet youasws, I will not exit from Al-Medina

until I know (for certain) whether youasws are Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww or not. Therefore, if youasws were as such, I shall maintain links with youasws, and if youasws do not happen to be, I shall travel in the land and seek the livelihood’.

So heasws said: ‘O Hakam! All of us (Imamsasws) are ‘Qaim’ (Standing) with the Command of Allahazwj’. I said, ‘So are youasws ‘Al-Mahdiasws‘ (the Guiding one)?’ Heasws said: ‘All of usasws Guide to Allahazwj’. I said, ‘So are youasws the owner of the sword?’ Heasws said: ‘All of us (Imamsasws) are owners of the sword and the inheritors of the sword’. I said, ‘So are youasws the one who will be killing the enemies of Allahazwj and the friends of Allahazwj would be strengthen with youasws and the Religion of Allahazwj would overcome (all the other religions)?’

خسا و أربعي سنة و إن صاحب هذا األمر أق رب عهدا باللب من و أخف على ف قال يا حكم كيف أكون أنا و قد ب لغت ابة . ظهر الد

Heasws said: ‘O Hakam! How can Iasws happen to be (himasws), and Iasws have already reached fifty-four years of age, and the Masterasws of this Command would be closer to the ere of the milk (younger) than measws, and lighter upon the back of the animal’.19

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Jabir Bin Yazeed Al Ju’fy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws, said, ‘Heasws was asked about Al-Qaimasws. So heasws struck hisasws hand upon Abu Abdullahasws and heasws said: ‘This oneasws, by Allahazwj, is a Qaimasws of the Progeny of Muhammadsaww’.

ا عنبسة قال جابر صدق ف قال بذلك فأخب رته ( السالم عليه ) الله عبد أب على دخلت ( السالم عليه ) جعفر أبو قبض ف لم

Anbasa (a narrator) said, ‘So when Abu Ja’farasws passed away, I went over to Abu Abdullahasws and I informed himasws with that. So heasws said: ‘Jabir (the narrator) spoke the truth’.

Then heasws said: ‘Perhaps you all are viewing that it isn’t so. Every Imamasws, heasws is ‘Al-Qa’imasws‘ after the Imamasws who was before himasws’.20

3. Al-Yamani:

In this section, we deal with the claim of Ahmed Al-Hasan that he is the Al-Yamani. Well if he claims to be a Al-Yamani then he cannot claim, at the same time, to be one of the twelve Al-Mahdis, who will come after Al-Qaimasws. In addition, Al-Yamani will rise after the rising of Al-Sufyani.

We present some Ahadith here, additional Ahadith related to Al-Yamani (and Al-Sufyani) are given in Appendix V.

راج قال ق لت ألب عبد الله )ع د عن ابن مبوب عن ي عقوب الس ال ف قال ليه السالم( مىت ف رج شيعتكم ق و عنه عن أحد بن ممعرب أعنت ها و رفع كل ذي صيصية إذا اخت لف ولد العباس و وهى سلطان هم و طمع فيهم من مل يكن يطمع فيهم و خلعت ال

امي و أق بل اليمان و تر ة بت راث رسول الله ) صلى صيصيته و ظهر الش ك السن و خرج صاحب هذا األمر من المدينة إل مك اهلل عليه وهله (

And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yaqoub Al-Sarraaj who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘When will there be relief for yourasws Shiites?’ Heasws said: ‘When the children of Al-Abbas differ regarding their authority, and he who was not greedy for it before, covets it, and the Arabs remove their reins, and everyone with spurs (horsemen) battles for it, and Al-Shami (The Syrian) appears, and Al-Yamani (The Yemenite) comes forward, and Al-Hasany moves (with a movement), and the Masterasws of this Command will come out from Al-Medina to Al-Makkah with the inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww’.

ه و قضيبه و راي ته و لمته و ف قلت ما ت راث رسول الله ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( قال سيف رسول الله و درعه و عمامته و ب رد ر يف من غمده و ي لبس الد ة ف يخرج الس و ي نشر الراية و الب ردة و العمامة و ي ت ناول القضيب بيده و سرجه حىت ي نزل مك

يستأذن الله ف ظهوره

So I said, ‘What inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Sword of the Rasool Allahsaww, and hissaww Armor, and hissaww turban, and hissaww gown, and hissaww staff, and hissaww banner, and hissaww helmet, and hissaww saddle, until heasws descends upon Makkah. So heasws will take out the sword from its sheath, and put on the Armor, and display the banner, and (wear) the gown and the turban, and grab the staff by hisasws hand, and seek Permission of Allahazwj for hisasws appearance.

عثون ف يطلع على ذلك ب عض مواليه ف يأت السن ف يخربه الب ر ف يبتدر السن إل ال ة ف ي قت لونه و ي ب روج ف يثب عليه أهل مكامي ف يظهر عند ذلك صاحب امي عند ذلك جيشا إل المدينة برأسه إل الش عث الش هذا األمر ف يبايعه الناس و ي تبعونه و ي ب

That will be announced to some of hisasws friends. Al-Hassany would come. So heasws would inform him of the news. Al-Hassany would initiate the coming out (Al-Khurouj). The people of Makkah would pounce upon him. So they will kill him and send his head to Al-Shamy (The Syrian). During that, the Masterasws of this Command will appear. So the people would pledge their allegiances to himasws and follow himasws. And Al-Shamy (The Syrian) would send an army to Al-Medina. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Destroy them before it (gets there). On that day, those from the children of Aliasws who would be in Al-Medina would flee to Makkah. So they would join up with the Masterasws of this Command. And the Masterasws of this Command would go towards Al-Iraq and send hisasws army to Al-Medina. Its people would express belief and they would return to it’.21

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazaz, from Umar Bin Hanzala who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There are five signs before the rising of Al-Qaimasws (occurring one after another):

(1) the scream, and (2) (rising of) the Sufyani, and (3) the sinking (of the earth), and (4) the killing of the pure soul (Al-Nafs Al-Zakkiyya) and (5) (then rising of the) Al-Yamani’.

So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, if someone from yourasws Household comes out (in revolt) before these signs, shall we come out (revolt) with him?’ Heasws (the Imam) said: ‘No’.

So when it was the next morning, I recited this Verse: “[26:4] If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it”. I said, ‘Is this the scream?’ Heasws said: ‘If that was, then the necks of the enemies of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would stoop down in humility’.22

4. ‘Ismah’ (Infallibility)

Ahmed Al-Hasan also alleges that he is the promised Al-Mahdi, Al-Yamani, , and is similar to ‘Thul Qarnainas and Aliasws. From twelve Imami point of view, this is impossible as ‘Ismah’ (Infallibility) cannot be attained but is a Divine Ordainment, there are numerous Ahadith on this topic, and we just present one Hadith, some additional Ahadith are presented in Appendix VI.

The Qualities of an Infallible Imamasws:

د عن مهران بن أحد الم( )عليه السن لب ق لت قال بصي أب عن علي بن مم ف قال قال المام ي عرف ب فداك جعلت السصال م قد ء بشي فنه أولا أما ب ة عليهم لتكون إليه بشارة فيه أبيه من ت قد با ويرب اب تدأ عنه سكت وإن ف يجيب ويسأل حج

د أبا ف ليس فيه الصال هذه يكن مل فمن الروح فيه ء شي ول بيمة ول طي ول الناس من أحد كالم عليه يفى ل المام إن مم بمام. هو

Ahmad ibn Mihran has narrated from Muhammad Ibn Ali from abu Basir who has said that he asked (the

following) from Imam Abu Al-Hassanasws:

"May I be sacrificed for you, what proof is needed to determine who is a (Divine) Imamasws?" Heasws said, ‘Through several Qualities;

The first one is that hisasws fatherasws must have introduced himasws (to others). And that when asked he would answer and if one remain silent he would begin to speak on the issue and inform of the things that would happen the next day(s) (Ilm-ul-Ghaib) and he can speak to people in their own languages."

Then heasws said to me, "O Abu Muhammad, allow me to give you an example before you leave. A man from Khurasan came. He spoke to the Imamasws in Arabic but Abu Al-Hassanasws replied him in Persian. He (the man from Khurasan) said, "I swear by Allahazwj, "May Allahazwj Take my soul in service for yourasws cause, the only thing that stopped me from speaking to youasws in Persian was I thought youasws might not know Persian."

The Imamasws then said, "Glory belongs to Allahazwj, If Iasws am unable to answer you (in Persian) then how would Iasws have any excellence over you?"


18 out of 50

The Imamasws said to me, "O Abu Muhammad, "No one’s language is unknown to the Imamasws nor the language of birds, animals and any living things. Whoever does not have these qualities, he is not an Imamasws.23

Appendix I:

Ibleesla cannot come in a Dream in the Appearance of Prophetas or an Imamasws or their followers:

حدثنا ممد بن إبراهيم بن إسحاق الطالقان رضي اهلل عنه قال حدثنا أحد بن ممد بن سعيد الكوف مول بن هاشم عن علي بن السي بن علي بن فضال عن أبيه عن أب السن علي بن موسى الرضا أنه قال له رجل من أهل خراسان يا ابن رسول

Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al- Taleqani - may Allah be pleased with him narrated that Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed al-Kufi - a chief of the Hashemite tribe - quoted on the authority of Ali ibn AI-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Fadhdhal, on the authority of his father the following:

A man from Khorasan told Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa AI-Rezaasws, son of the Prophet of Allahsaww! I saw the Prophet of Allahsaww in a dream. The Prophetsaww asked me, How will you be when one of my own flesh and blood is buried in your land, you are asked to protect my trust, and my star (AI-Rezaasws) when he disappears in your soil?’ Then AI-Rezaasws told him, I am the one who will be buried in your land. I am a piece of the flesh and blood of your Prophetsaww. Iasws am the trusted one and Iasws am the star. Know that whoever visits measws recognizing my rightfulness and obeys measws as Allahazwj has Made it incumbent upon him to do so - my forefathersasws and Iasws will intercede on his behalf on the Resurrection Day. Whoever on whose behalf weasws intercede shall be saved, even if there is the heavy burden of sin of the Jinn and the men on him.

In fact, my fatherasws quoted on the authority of my grandfatherasws, on the authority of his fatherasws, on the authority of his forefatherasws that Allahazwjs Prophetsaww said, Whoever visits mesaww in his dream, it is as if he has visited mesaww since Satan cannot appear to be like me, or appear to be like anyone of my Testamentary Trusteesasws (the 12 Imamsasws). Neither can Satan appear to be like any of their followers. Indeed truthful dreams are one of the seventy parts of Prophethood.24

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘What are these Hostile Ones (Nasibis) reporting?’ So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! With regards to what?’ So heasws said: Regarding their Azans, and their Rukū and their Sajud (plural of Sajdah)’. So I said, ‘They are saying that Abayy Bin Ka’ab saw it during the sleep (dream)’. So heasws said: ‘They are lying, for the Religion of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is more Honourable than for it to be seen during the sleep (dream)’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So Sudeyr Al-Sayrafi said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! So narrate to us a reminder of that’. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Ascended Hisazwj Prophetsaww to the seven skies, so as for the first of these, Heazwj Blessed upon himsaww, and (in) the second, Taught himsaww hissaww Obligations. So Allahazwj Sent down a carriage of Light wherein were forty varieties from the varieties of Light which engulf the Throne of Allahazwj, overwhelming the sights of the onlookers.

ها فأصفر فمن أجل ذلك ها أب يض أما واحد من ها أحر فمن أجل ذلك احرت المرة و واحد من اصفرت الصفرة و واحد من حمل حلق و سالسل من فضة الم فمن أجل ذلك اب يض الب ياض و الباقي على سائر عدد اللق من النور و األلوان ف ذلك

As for one of these, so it was yellow, and due to that is the yellowness of the yellow; and one of these was red, and due to that is the redness of the red; and one of these was white, and due to that is the whiteness of the white; and the remainder were upon the number of the rest of the creatures of light; and the colours in that carriage, the ring, and the chain were from silver.

Then hesaww was ascended with to the sky, so the Angels alienated towards the horizons of the sky and fell down in Sajdah and said, ‘Glorious One! Holy One! How resembling is this light with the Light of our Lordazwj!’ So Jibraeelas said: ‘Allahazwj is the Greatest!’ Then the door of the sky were opened and the Angels gathered around. So they greeted upon the Prophetsaww in droves, and said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! How is yoursaww brotheras? When yousaww descend, so convey the greetings to himasws’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Do you all recognise himasws?’ They said, ‘And how can we not recognise himasws, and heasws has taken yoursaww Covenant and hissaww own Covenant from us, and the Covenant of hisasws Shias upon us up to the Day of Judgement, and we browse through the faces of hisasws Shias five times during every day and night, meaning during every time for Salāt, and we send Blessings upon yousaww and upon himasws’.

Hesaww said: ‘Then mysaww Lordazwj Increased for mesaww forty types from the verities of the Light, non resembling the earlier Lights (Given to mesaww before), and Increased mesaww with a ring, and chain, and Ascended with me to the second sky. So when Isaww was near to the door of the second sky, the Angels alienated towards the horizons of the sky and fell down in Sajdah, and said: ‘Glorious One! Holy One! Lordazwj of the Angels and the Spirit! How resembling is this light with the Light of our Lordazwj!’ So Jibraeelas said: ‘I testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj’. So the Angels gathered around and said, ‘O Jibraeelas! Who is this one with youas?’ Heas said: ‘This is Muhammadsaww’. They said: ‘And hesaww has (already) been sent (with the Prophet-hood)?’ Heas said: ‘Yes’.

Hesaww said: ‘Then mysaww Lordazwj Increased me with forty types from the varieties of the Light, non resembling the earlier Lights (Given to mesaww before). Then Isaww was ascended with to the third sky. So the Angels alienated and fell down Sajdah, and said: ‘Glorious One! Holy One! Lordazwj of the Angels and the Spirit! What is this light which resembles the Light of our Lordazwj?’ So Jibraeelas said: ‘Ias testify that Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww! Ias testify that Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww! So the Angels gathered around and said: ‘Welcome to the first one! And welcome to the last one! And welcome to the Resurrector (of souls)! And welcome to the Publisher (of the deeds), Muhammadsaww, the best of the Prophetsas, and Aliasws the best of the successorsas’.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Then they greeted upon mesaww and asked measws about mysaww brotherasws. Isaww said: ‘Heasws is in the earth. Do you all recognise himasws?’ They said: ‘And how can we not recognise himasws and we perform the Hajj of the Bayt Al-Mamour (The Oft-frequented House) every year, and upon it is a while Parchment wherein is the name of Muhammadsaww, and name of Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and the Imamsasws, and theirasws Shias up to the Day of Judgement, and we Bless upon them five times during every day and night, during the time for every Salāt, and we wipe their heads by their hands’ (while performing Wuzu).

Hesaww said: ‘Then mysaww Lordazwj Increased for me forty types from the varieties of Light non resembling the earlier Lights (Given to mesaww before). Then Isaww was ascended with to the sky until Isaww ended up to the fourth sky. Where the Angels were quiet, and I heard a vibration as if it is in the chests. So the Angels gathered around, and the doors of the sky were open, and they came out towards mesaww resembling the hordes. So Jibraeelas said:

‘Hasten to the Salāt! Hasten to the Salāt! Hasten to the success! Hasten to the success!’. So the Angels said: ‘These two voices are paired and well-known’. So Jibraeelas said: ‘The Salāt has been established! The Salāt has been established!’ So the Angels said: ‘It is for hissaww Shias up to the Day of Judgement’.

The Angels gathered around and said: ‘How did yousaww leave yoursaww brotherasws?’ So Isaww said to them: ‘And you all recognise himasws?’ They said: ‘We recognise himasws, and hisasws Shias when they were lights around the Throne of Allahazwj, and in the Bayt Al-Mamour (The Oft-Frequented House) is a Parchment of light wherein is writing of light, in which are names of Muhammadsaww, and Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and the Imamasws, after the Imamasws, and theirasws Shias up to the Day of Judgement. Neither is a man increased among them nor is a man reduced from them; and it is our Covenant which is read out to us every Friday’.

Then it was Said to mesaww: “O Muhammadsaww! Raise yoursaww head!” So Isaww raised mysaww head, and there were the layers of the sky which had been pierced and the veils had been raised. Then Heazwj Said to mesaww: “Lower yoursaww head, look! What do yousaww see?” So Isaww lowered mysaww head and looked at a house similar to these houses of yours, and a Sanctuary like the Sanctuary of this House (Kabah). If Isaww had thrown something from mysaww hand, it would not have fallen except upon it.

د إن هذا الرم د ادن من صاد فاغسل مساج فقيل ل يا مم رها و أنت الرام و لكل مثل مثال ث أوحى الله إل يا مم دك و طه و صل لربك

So it was Said to mesaww: “O Muhammadsaww! This is the Sanctuary and yousaww are the sanctimonious, and for every like there is a like”. Then Allahazwj Revealed unto mesaww: “O Muhammadsaww!

So Rasool-Allahsaww approached Sa’ad (a river), and it is water which flows from the right Pillar of the Throne. So Rasool-Allahsaww scooped the water with hissaww right hand, and due to that the Wuzu came to be performed with the right hand.

فنك ت نظر إل عظميت ث اغسل ذراعيك اليمن و اليسرى فنك ت لقى بيدك ث أوحى الله عز و جل إليه أن اغسل وجهك أوطئك موطئا مل يطأه أحد ك عليك و كالمي ث امسح رأسك بفضل ما بقي ف يديك من الماء و رجليك إل كعب يك فن أبار

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “Wash yoursaww face for yousaww would be looking at Myazwj Magnificence. Then wash yoursaww right arm and the left for yousaww would be receiving Myazwj Speech with yoursaww hands. Then wipe your head with the remnants of what remain in your hands from the water, and the feet up to your ankles, for Iazwj would Bless upon yousaww, and Make yousaww to tread upon a place where not one had trod upon before apart from you”. Thus this is the reason for the Azan and the Wuzu’.

رن على عدد حج د است قبل الجر األسود و كب فمن أجل ذلك صار التكبي سبعا ألن ب ث أوحى الله عز و جل إليه يا ممن هن حبار النور و ذلك النور الجب سبع فاف تتح عند انقطا الجب فمن أجل ذلك صار الفتتاح سنة و الجب متط ابقة ب ي

د ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( فمن أجل ذلك صار الفتتاح ثالث مرات لفتتاح الج الذي أن زله ب ثالث مرات فصار الله على مم التكبي سبعا و الفتتاح ثالثا

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “O Muhammadsaww! Face the Black Stone and exclaim Myazwj Greatness upon the number of Myazwj Veils”. So due to that, the exclamations of Takbīr’ came to be seven, because the Veils are seven. So hesaww commenced at the intermission of the Veils, and due to that the commencement came to be a Sunnah; and the Veils are layered, there being oceans of Light between them, and that is the Light which descended unto Muhammadsaww, and due to that, the commencement is three times because of the opening of the Veils three times. Thus the exclamations of the Takbīr’s (altogether before commencement) came to be seven, and the commencement, three.

ي فمن أجل ذلك جعل بس ا ف رغ من التكبي و الفتتاح أوحى الله إليه سم باس ورة ث أوحى ف لم م الله الرحن الرحيم ف أول السا قال المد لله رب العالمي قال النب ف ن فسه شكرا ف م أوحى الله عز و جل إليه قطعت حدي فس الله إليه أن احدن ف لم

So when you are free from the exclamations of Takbīr’ and the commencement, Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Name Meazwj by Myazwj Name”. So due to that, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ is in the first Chapter. Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Praise Meazwj”. So when hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj, Lordazwj of the worlds’, the Prophetsaww said within himselfsaww: ‘Thanks’. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “Now you discontinued speaking of Meazwj. Call Meazwj by Myazwj Name”. So due to that ‘The Beneficent, the Merciful’ was Made to be twice in Al-Hamd (Chapter 1).

ا ب لغ و ل الضالي قال ي النب ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( المد لله رب العالمي شكرا فأوحى الله إليه قطعت ذكري ف ف لم سم باسورة ل الس فمن أجل ذلك جعل بسم الله الرحن الرحيم ف أو

So when hesaww reached ‘nor of those who has strayed’, the Prophetsaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the worlds, thanks’. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Revealed unto himsaww: “Now you discontinued speaking of Meazwj. Call Meazwj by Myazwj Name”. So due to that, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful was made to be in the first Chapter.

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “Read, O Muhammadsaww, a Relationship of yoursaww Lordazwj Blessed and High. Read [112:1] Say: He, Allah, is One. [112:2] Allah is He on Whom all depend. [112:3] He begets not, nor is He begotten. [112:4] And none is like Him”. Then the Wahi (Revelation) was Withheld from him, so Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Alone, the One, the Depended’. So Allahazwj Revealed until himsaww: “[112:1] Say: He, Allah, is One. [112:2] Allah is He on Whom all depend. [112:3] He begets not, nor is He begotten. [112:4] And none is like Him”.

Then the Wali (Revelation) was Withheld from himsaww, so Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Like that is our Lordazwj! Like that is our Lordazwj!’. So when hesaww said that, Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Perform Rukū to yoursaww Lordazwj, O Muhammadsaww!” So hesaww went down into Rukū, and Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Say Glorious is mysaww Lordazwj, the Magnificent”. So hesaww did that three (times).

د ف فعل رسول الله ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( ف قام م نتصبا فأوحى الله عز و جل إليه أن ث أوحى الله إليه أن ارفع رأسك يا ممد فخر رس ل ول الله ) صلى اهلل عليه وهله ( ساجدا فأوحى الله عز و جل إليه قل سبحان رب األعلى ف فع اسجد لربك يا مم

Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Raise yoursaww head, O Muhammadsaww!” So Rasool-Allahsaww stood upright and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “ Perform Sajdah to yoursaww Lordazwj, O Muhammadsaww!” So Rasool-Allahsaww fell down in Sajdah, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed onto himsaww: “Say: Glorious is mysaww Lordazwj, the Exalted”. So hesaww did that three (times).

Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Sit upright, O Muhammadsaww!” So hesaww did. So when hesaww raised hissaww head from his Sajdah and sat upright, hesaww looked at Hisazwj Magnificence being Manifested to himsaww, so hesaww fell down in Sajdah from his own self, not to a Command hesaww been Commanded with, and he Glorified three (times) as well. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas: “Stand upright!” So hesaww did, but could not see what hesaww had seen from the Magnificence. Thus, from the reason of that, the Salāt came to be with one Rukū and two Sajdud (plural of Sajdah).

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto himsaww: “Read the Praise for Allahazwj”. So hesaww recited it similar to what hesaww had recited firstly. Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto him: “Read [97:1] We have indeed revealed it (Chapter 97), for it is yoursaww relationship and the relationship of the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household, up to the Day of Judgement”. And hesaww did in the Rukū the like of what hesaww had done the first time. Then he went down (and performed) one Sajdah. So when hesaww raised hissaww head, the Magnificence Manifested to himsaww, so hesaww fell down in Sajdah from hissaww own self, not to a Command hesaww had been Commanded with. So hesaww Glorified, as well.

د ا ذهب لي قوم قيل يا مم د ث بتك ربك ف لم د إذا ما ث أوحى الله إليه ارفع رأسك يا مم اجلس فجلس فأوحى الله إليه يا ممي فألم أن قال بس م الله و بالله و ل إله إل الله و األساء السن كلها لله أن عمت عليك فسم باس

Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Raise yoursaww head, O Muhammadsaww, yoursaww Lordazwj has Affirmed yousaww”. So when hesaww went on to stand, Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww! Be seated”. So hesaww sat, and Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “O Muhammadsaww! Whenever Iazwj Favour upon yousaww, so Name Meazwj by Myazwj Name”. So hesaww was inspired that hesaww should say: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj, and by Allahazwj, and there is no god except for Allahazwj, and the beautiful Names, all of them are for Allahazwj’.

د صل على ن فسك و على أهل ب يتك ف قال صلى الله علي و على أهل ب ييت و قد ف عل ث الت فت فذا ث أوحى الله إليه يا ممالم عليكم و رحة الله و ب ركاته بصفوف من المالئكة و المرسلي و النبيي فقيل د سلم عليهم ف قال الس يا مم

Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “O Muhammadsaww! Send Blessings upon yourselfsaww and upon the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household”. So hesaww said: ‘May Allahazwj Send Blessings upon mesaww and upon the Peopleasws of mysaww Household’, and it had been done. Then hesaww turned, and hesaww was with rows of Angels, and the Mursil Prophetsas, and the Prophetsas. So it was said: “O Muhammadsaww! Greet upon them!” So hesaww said: ‘The greetings be upon you, and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’.

الم و التحية و الرحة و الب ركات أنت و ذري تك فأوحى الله إليه أن الس

So Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “The greetings, and the salutation, and the Mercy, and the Blessings, are yousaww and yoursaww childrenasws”.

ا إعادت هما ف هذا الفرض األول ف صالة الزوال أجل ذلك صارت الركعتان األوليان كلما أحدث فيهما حدثا كان على صاحبهم ي عن صالة الظهر .

Then Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Do not turn towards the left!”; and the first Verse hesaww heard after [112:1] Say He Allah is One (Chapter 112) and [97:1] We have indeed revealed it (Chapter 97), was the Verse of the companions of the right and the companions of the left (Chapter 56).Thus, it was due to that, the Salām is one with you facing the Qiblah, and due to that the exclamation of Takbīr’ in the Sajdah is the thanks, and Hisazwj Words: “Allahazwj Hears the one who Praise Himazwj”, is because the Prophetsaww heard the sounds of the Angels with the Glorifications, and the Praises, and the Extollation of Holiness. Thus, it was due to that Heazwj Said: “Allahazwj Hears the one who Praises Himazwj; and it was due to that the first two Rak’at of Salāt came to be such that every time your Wuzu breaks in these two, it would be upon its performer that he repeats it. So this is the first necessity during Salāt of midday, meaning Salāt Al-Zohar’.25

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Al Washa and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, altogether from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws addressed the people, so heasws said; ‘O you people! The start of the occurrence of the sedition is the following of personal desires and the innovation of regulations wherein the Book of Allahazwj is opposed. A man takes command of a man in it.

خذ من هذا ضغث و من هذا ف لو أن الباطل خلص مل يف على ذي حجى و لو أن الق خلص مل يكن اختالف و لكن ي ؤ يطان على أوليائه و جنا الذين سب قت لم من الله السن .ضغث ف يمزجان ف يجيئان معا ف هنالك است حوذ الش

So if the falsehood was pure, it would not be hidden from the one with intelligence, and if the truth was pure, differing would not occur. But, a bunch is taken from this, and a bunch from this, so they are both mixed up. Thus, they are coming with both of these together. So from over here, the Satanla takes over hisla friends! And only those who have previously received Protection Allahazwj remain safe. 26

Appendix IV: Establishing the Authenticity of a Hadith:

د د بن الله عبد عن يي بن مم ثن و قال ي عفور أب بن الله عبد عن عثمان بن أبان عن الكم بن علي عن مم بن حسي حد نثق من ي رويه الديث اختالف عن ( السالم عليه ) الله عبد أبا سألت قال المجلس هذا ف ي عفور أب ابن حضر أنه العالء أب

هم و به عليه اهلل صلى ) الله رسول ق ول من أو الله كتاب من شاهدا له ف وجدت حديث عليكم ورد إذا قال به نثق ل من من . به أول به جاءكم فالذي إل و ( وهله

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said, ‘And it was narrated to me by Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala that he was present with Ibn Abu Yafour in this gathering where he said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the differing in the Ahadeeth being reported by the ones we trust with it and the ones we do not trust with it’. Heasws said: ‘Whenever a Hadeeth arrives to you and you find evidence for it from the Book of Allahazwj, or from the words of Rasool-Allahsaww (fine), or else, (take) the one which came to you which was the closest with it (the Book and other Ahadith)’.27

The Importance of the ‘Primary Sources’ of Ahadith:

One of the important roles of the Divine Imamasws is to re-establish the Truth - if something has been added to the religion (Ahadith) or has been left out (omission from a Ahadith). Therefore, in principle, the ‘correction’ process had been ceased after the occurrence of the Grand Occultation, hence, the Ahadith books (primary sources) which were compiled before the occurrence of the Grand Occultation (329 A.H.) are to be consulted first and foremost and Ahadith from the later sources to be compared with the earlier ones (only). As we find in the following Hadith:

د عن أبيه عن إب راهيم بن علي ار بن إسحاق عن مسلم بن سعدان و يونس بن منصور عن عمي أب بن مم الله عبد أب عن عمعته قال ( السالم عليه ) . لم أمته شيئا ن قصوا إن و ردهم شيئا المؤمنون زاد إن كيما إمام فيها و إل تلو ل األرض إن ي قول س

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus and Sa’dan Bin Muslim, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws, said, ‘I heard himasws saying: ‘The earth cannot be empty except there would be an Imamasws so that if the believers (Momineen) exceed in something (addition to a Hadith), heasws would return them (remove the added part), and if they are deficient in something (something has been eliminated from a Hadith), heasws would complete it (the Hadith) for them’.28

Take those Ahadith which are famous among our shias,

هما واحد ي فضل ل أصحابنا عند مرضيان عدلن فن هما ق لت قال ف عنا روايتهم من كان ما إل ي نظر ف قال قال الخر على من رك و حكمنا ن م به ف ي ؤخذ أصحابك من عليه المجمع به حكما الذي ذلك اذ ي ت فن أصحابك عند بشهور ليس الذي الش

……He (the narrator) said, ‘I said (to the Imamasws), ‘Supposing both of them (the Ahadith narrators who are taken to resolve a dispute among two believers) are just, agreeable in the presence of our companions, not one of the two having any merit upon the other?’ So heasws said: ‘You would look at what was from their reports from usasws (Ahadith) regarding that (issue) which they are judging with, and converge upon that (which is more norm) among your companions. So they should be taking with ourasws judgment and neglect the abnormal (fabricated Ahadith) which is not well-known among your companions. So they should converge upon that (Hadith) where there is no doubt in it. (An extract from a long Hadith)29

Al Ayyashi, from Jabir Al Ju’fy,

‘Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘The commitment of the earth is that it will not move your hand, nor your feet ever, until you see such Signs in one year which Iasws am mentioning to you. And you will see a Caller Calling out at Damascus, and a town from the towns gets submerged (in the land), and several of its Masjids fall down, so you will see the Turks move across it. So the Turks would come over until they encamp at the Island, and the Romans would come over until they encamp at Al-Ramla, and it is a year in which there would be disputes in every land from the lands of the Arabs. And the people of Syria would be disputing during that, over three banners – the ‘Bald Eagle’, and the ‘The Arrow-shaped Leaves’, and Al-Sufyani, with the Clan of Zanb Al-Himaar Muzir. And with Al-Sufyani would be his maternal uncles from a dog (illegitimate one). So Al-Sufyani and the ones with him would overcome the Clan of Zanb Al-Himaar, until they kill them with such a killing which nothing had been killed before. And a man would appear at Damascus, so he and the one with him would be killed with a killing which nothing had been killed at all (before), and he would be from the Clan of Zanb Al-Himaar – and it is the Verse which Allahazwj Blessed and High is Speaking of [19:37] But the parties from among them disagreed with each other, so woe unto those who disbelieve in being present on a Great Day’.33

Al Ayyashi, from Abdul A’la Al Halby who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said in a Hadeeth mentioning in it the rising of Al-Qaimasws: ‘It is as if Iasws am looking at them – meaning Al-Qaimasws and hisasws companions – going up to Najaf, Al-Kufa. Three hundred and some ten men, with their hearts being like blocks of iron. Jibraeelas being on their right and Mikaeelas on their left. The fear moving in front of them publicised, and behind them publicised. Allahazwj would Help himasws with five thousand from the Angels with a terrifying onslaught, until they overcome Al-Najaf, heasws would say to hisasws companions: ‘(Perform acts of) worship in this night of yours’. So they would be in between Bowing and Prostrating, appealing to Allahazwj until the morning. Take with usasws the Al-Nakheela way to Al-Kufa with the recruit army.

I said, ‘And the recruit army?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, until heasws ends up at Masjid Ibrahimas at Al-Nakheela, so heasws would Pray two Cycles in it. So there would come out against himasws from those who were at Al-Kufa from the Murjiites and others from the army of Al-Sufyani, so heasws would say to hisasws companions: ‘Deal with them!’ Then heasws would say: ‘Attack them!’ By Allahazwj! It is not permissible for an informant from them but in the ditch’.

ابه: سيوا إل ث يدخل الكوفة فال يبقى مؤمن إل كان فيها، أوحن إليها، و هو قول أمي املؤمني )عليه السالم(، ث يقول ألصحهذا الطاغية، فيدعوه إل كتاب اهلل و سنة نبيه )صلى اهلل عليه و هله( فيعطيه السفيان من البيعة مسلما، فيقول له كلب، و هم

Then heasws would enter Al-Kufa. So there would not remain a Believer except that he would be in it, or yearn for it, and it is the speech of Amir-ul-Momineenasws. Then heasws would be saying to hisasws companions: ‘Go to this tyrant, and call him to the Book of Allahazwj and the Sunnah of Hisazwj Prophetsaww’. So they (the believers) would be coming to him for the pledge of allegiance in submission (Imamasws). A dog (an uncle of Sufyani) would say to him (Sufyani), ‘What is this which you are (intending to) do? By Allahazwj! We would never pledge allegiance to them (believers) upon this, ever!’ So he (Al-Sufyani) would be saying, ‘What shall I do?’ They would be saying, ‘Accept himasws so that heasws would accept you’. Then Al-Qaimasws would say to him: ‘Take a warning, for Iasws have blood-money compensation (أديت) against you, and Iasws shall be fighting against you’.

So it would become that heasws would fight against them and Allahazwj would grant himasws victory and Al-Sufyani would be taken as a captive. So heasws would go to him and slaughter him with hisasws own hands. Then heasws would sent hisasws cavalry to Rome. So they would caution the remainder of the Clan of Umayya when they end up at Rome, saying, ‘Bring out to us the people of our nation who are with you!’ They (Romans) would refuse, and would be saying, ‘By Allahazwj! We will not do it!’ So the cavalry would say, ‘By Allahazwj! If only we had been ordered to fight you!’ Then they would rush to their companions and present it (the whole affair) to them, so they would be saying, ‘Quickly, bring their companions out to them, for they have come with an authority’.

And these are the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [21:12] So when they felt Our Punishment, so they began to flee [21:13] Do not flee (now) and come back to what you were made to lead easy lives in and to your dwellings, so that you would be questioned. Heasws said: ‘It Mean the treasures which you all have been hoarding. They would say [21:14] They said: O woe be unto us! Surely we were unjust [21:15] And this ceased not to be their cry till We made them as a harvested field, motionless. There shall not remain an informant among them’.35

الناس على أربعة أصناف: ممد بن إبراهيم النعمان ف )الغيبة(: بسناده عن كعب األحبار، قال: إذا كان يوم القيامة حشر صنف ركبان، و صنف على أقدامهم يشون، و صنف مكبون، و صنف على وجوههم صم بكم عمي فهم ل يعقلون، و ل

يتكلمون، و ل يؤذن لم فيعتذرون، أولئك الذين تلفح وجوههم النار، و هم فيها كالون.

Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al-Nu’mani in Al-Ghayba, by his chain from Ka’ab Al-Ahbaar who said,

‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, the people would be Gathered over four categories – A type who would be riding, and a type who would be walking upon their feet, and a type lying flat, and a type upon their faces. Deaf, dumb, blind, so they would not know, nor would they be speaking, nor would they be permitted to present excuses. They are the ones whose faces would be touched by the Fire, and they would be gloomy in it.

هم، و هذه الال حالم؟ قال: كعب: أولئك الذين كانوا على الضالل و فقيل: يا كعب، من هؤلء الذين يشرون على وجوهالرتداد و النكث، فبئس ما قدمت لم أنفسهم إذا لقوا اهلل حبرب خليفتهم و وصي نبيهم، و عاملهم، و سيدهم، و فاضلهم، و

ل يهل، و احملجة اليت من زال عنها عطب، الذي حامل اللواء و ول الوض، و املرتى، و الرجاء دون هذا العامل، و هو العلمو ف النار هوى، ذلك علي و رب كعب، أعلمهم علما، و أقدمهم سلما، و أوفرهم حلما، عجب كعب ممن قدم على علي

غيه.

So it was said, ‘O Ka’ab, who are these who would be gathered upon their faces, and this condition, would be their condition?’ Ka’ab said, ‘They are the ones who were upon the straying and the apostasy and the breaking of the allegiance. So evil is what they sent forward for themselves, when they would meet Allahazwj having battled against their Caliph and the successorasws of their Prophetsaww, and their knowledgeable oneasws, and their Chief, and their best one, and the bearer of the Flag and the Guardian of the Fountain, and they hoped and wished for other than this knowledgeable oneasws, and heasws had the knowledge in which there was no ignorance, and that which was not corrupted, and in the Fire they would be yearning for himasws (to help them). That is Aliasws and lord of Ka’ab, whoasws taught them knowledge, and preceded them in submission, and their most forbearing one. Ka’ab is astounded from the one who gives preference to others over Aliasws.

و من نسل علي )عليه السالم( القائم املهدي )عليه السالم( ، الذي يبدل األرض غي األرض، و به يتج عيسى بن مرمي )عليه من نسل علي )عليه السالم( أشبه الناس بعيسى بن مرمي خلقا و خلقا و السالم( على نصارى الروم و الصي، إن القائم املهدي

ستا و هيبة ، يعطيه اهلل عز و جل ما أعطى األنبياء و يزيده و يفضله.

And from the children of Aliasws is Al-Qaimasws Al-Mahdiasws, the one who would change the earth to a different earth, and by himasws would be the argument of Isaas Bin Maryamas upon the Christians of Rome and China. Al-Qaim Al-Mahdiasws is from the children of Aliasws, resembling Isaas Bin Maryamas in morals and ethics, and appearance and prestige. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Give himasws what Heazwj Gave to the Prophetsas and Increase it, and Prefer himasws.

إن القائم )عليه السالم( من ولد علي )عليه السالم( له غيبة كغيبة يوسف، و رجعة كرجعة عيسى بن مرمي، ث يظهر بعد غيبته خسف املزورة، و هي بغداد، و خروج السفيان، و حرب ولد العباس مع مع طلو النجم األحر، و خراب الزوراء و هي الري، و

Al-Qaimasws is from the sonsasws of Aliasws. For himasws would be an occultation like the occultation of Yusufas, and a return like the return of Isa Bin Maryamas. Then heas would appear after hisasws occultation after the emergence of the red star, and the ruination of Al-Zawra - and it is Al-Rayy, and the submerging of Al-Mazroura – and it is Baghdad, and the coming out of Al-Sufyani, and the battle of the sons of Al-Abbas with the youths of Armenia and Azerbaijan. That is the battle in which thousands upon thousands would be killed. Each one holding a sword would be destroyed, having failed to the black banners. These wars would be marred by the red death, and the great plague’.36

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazaz, from Umar Bin Hanzala who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There are five signs before the rising of Al-Qaimasws – The scream, and the Sufyani, and the sinking (of the earth), and the killing of the pure soul (Al-Nafs Al-Zakkiyya) and Al-Yamani’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, if someone from yourasws Household comes out (in revolt) before these signs, shall we come out (revolt) with him?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. So when it was the next morning, I recited this Verse: “[26:4] If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it”. I said, ‘Is this the scream?’ Heasws said: ‘If that was, then the necks of the enemies of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would stoop down in humility’.37

And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yaqoub Al-Sarraaj who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘When will there be relief for yourasws Shiites?’ Heasws said: ‘When the children of Al-Abbas differ regarding their authority, and he who was not greedy for it before, covets it, and the Arabs remove their reins, and everyone with spurs (horsemen) battles for it, and Al-Shami (The Syrian) appears, and Al-Yamani (The Yemenite) comes forward, and Al-Hasany moves (with a movement), and the Masterasws of this Command will come out from Al-Medina to Al-Makkah with the inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww’.

يستأذن الله ف ظهوره

So I said, ‘What inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Sword of the Rasool Allahsaww, and hissaww Armor, and hissaww turban, and hissaww gown, and hissaww staff, and hissaww banner, and hissaww helmet, and hissaww saddle, until heasws descends upon Makkah. So heasws will take out the sword from its sheath, and put on the Armor, and display the banner, and (wear) the gown and the turban, and grab the staff by hisasws hand, and seek Permission of Allahazwj for hisasws appearance.

عث ف يطلع على ذلك ب عض مواليه ف يأت السن ف يخربه الب ر ف يبتدر السن إل ال ة ف ي قت لونه و ي ب ون روج ف يثب عليه أهل مكامي ف يظهر عند ذلك صاحب هذا األمر ف يبايعه الناس و ي تبعونه و ي ب امي عند ذلك جيشا إل المدينة برأسه إل الش عث الش

That will be announced to some of hisasws friends. Al-Hassany would come. So heasws would inform him of the news. Al-Hassany would initiate the coming out (Al-Khurouj). The people of Makkah would pounce upon him. So they will kill him and send his head to Al-Shamy (The Syrian). During that, the Masterasws of this Command will appear. So the people would pledge their allegiances to himasws and follow himasws. And Al-Shamy (The Syrian) would send an army to Al-Medina. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Destroy them before it (gets there). On that day, those from the children of Aliasws who would be in Al-Medina would flee to Makkah. So they would join up with the Masterasws of this Command. And the Masterasws of this Command would go towards Al-Iraq and send hisasws army to Al-Medina. Its people would express belief and they would return to it’.38

علي بن إبراهيم، قال: حدثن أب، عن ابن أب عمي، عن منصور بن يونس، عن أب خالد الكابلي، قال: قال أبو جعفر )عليه السالم( و قد أسند ظهره إل الجر، ث ينشد اهلل حقه، ث يقول: يا أيها الناس، و اهلل لكأن أنظر إل القائم )عليه »السالم(:

من ياجن ف اهلل فأنا أول باهلل. أيها الناس، من ياجن ف هدم فأنا أول بآدم.

Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘My father narrated to me from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Khalid Al-Kalby who said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! It is as if Iasws am looking at Al-Qaimasws, with hisasws back against Al-Hajar (The Black Stone), then heasws adjures to Allahazwj of hisasws rights, then heasws is saying: ‘O you people! The one who disputes with measws, regarding Allahazwj, so (beware) Iasws am the closest with Allahazwj. O you people! The one who disputes with measws regarding Adamas, so Iasws am the closest with Adamas’.

لناس، من ياجن ف إبراهيم فأنا أول ببراهيم. أيها الناس، من ياجن ف أيها الناس، من ياجن ف نوح فأنا أول بنوح. أيها ا موسى فأنا أول بوسى. أيها الناس، من ياجن ف عيسى فأنا أول بعيسى.

O you people! The one who disputes with measws regarding Noahas, so I am the closest with Noahas. O you people! The one who disputes with me regarding Ibrahimas, so Iasws am the closest with Ibrahimas. O you people! The one who disputes with me regarding Musaas, so Iasws am the closest with Musaas. O you people! The one, who disputes with measws regarding Isaas, so Iasws am the closest with Isaas.

أيها الناس، من ياجن ف رسول اهلل فأنا أول برسول اهلل. أيها الناس، من ياجن ف كتاب اهلل فأنا أول بكتاب اهلل. ث ينتهي «.إل املقام، فيصلي ركعتي، و ينشد اهلل حقه

O you people! The one who disputes with measws regarding Rasool-Allahsaww, so Iasws am the closest with Rasool-Allahsaww. O you people! The one who disputes with measws regarding the Book of Allahazwj, so Iasws am the closest with the Book of Allahazwj’. Then heasws would end up to the Al-Maqam (of Ibrahimas) so heasws would pray two Cycles (of Salat), and adjure to Allahazwj of hisasws rights’.

It would so happen that the first one who will pledge allegiance to himasws would be Jibraeelas, then three hundred and thirteen (313) men. So the one who will be Tried by the journey would fulfil it, and the one who will not be Tried by the journey would be upon his bed. And it is the speech of Amir-Al-Momineenasws: ‘They would be missing from their beds’.

And heasws will not name anyone until heasws ends up to Al-Bayda. The army of Al-Sufyani would come out against himasws. So Allahazwj would Command the earth, and it would seize them from underneath their feet, and these are the Words of Allahazwj: And if only you could see when they will panic, and they shall not escape, and they would be seized from a nearby place [34:51] And they shall say, ‘We believe in it’. [34:52] - meaning Al-Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww And they had disbelieved in it from before [34:53] - meaning in Al-Qaimasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww – up to the end of the Chapter.

وتر، و وتية، من مراد، وجوههما ف أقفيتهما، يشيان القهقرى، يربان الناس با فعل فال يبقى منهم إل رجالن، يقال لما: «.بأصحابما

So there will not remain among them except for two men called Watar, and Wateera, from Maraad. Their faces would be turned around, and they would be walking backwards, informing the people of what had befallen their companions’.39

So heasws would come out towards them, and kill their murderers, and not increase anything upon that. Then heasws would start by calling the people, until heasws ends up Al-Bayda.

It has been narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abu Abdullah Al-Barqy, from Fazaalat, from Abdul Hameed Bin Nasr who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘They are denying the obligatory obedience to the Imamasws, and they are fighting against it. By Allahazwj, there is nothing in the earth greater in the Presence of Allahazwj than the obligatory obedience. And Ibrahimas was around for a long time. The Command Descended upon himas from Allahazwj, and there was no obligatory obedience until Allahazwj Honoured himas and Made himas greater. Heazwj Said: He Said: “I will Make you an Imam for the people”. Ibrahimas realised what it contained of the preference. Heas said: He said: ‘And from my offspring?’ He Said: My Covenant cannot be attained by the unjust [2:124]. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘But it is in hisas (Holy) descendants, and it will not happen to be in others’.44

Tariq bin Shihab asked: “O Ameer al-Momineenasws please explain the virtues of an Imam (masoom), Ameer al-Momineenasws replied:

"O Tariq! The Imamasws is the 'Kalima-tul-Allah' Words of Allahazwj; 'Hujat-u-Allah’ the Proof of Allahazwj; ‘Wajh-Allah' the Direction to Allahazwj; 'Noor-Allah' the Light of Allahazwj; 'Hijab-Allah' the Veil of Allahazwj and 'Ayat-Allah' the Sign of Allahazwj.

Heasws is Chosen by Allahazwj who bestows onto himasws whatever qualities Heazwj chooses, and Makes it compulsory on all Hisazwj creatures to obey him-the Imamasws.

Thus, heasws is Allahazwj's Appointed Ruler in the Heavens and on the earth. Allahazwj has Taken a covenant regarding this from all Hisazwj servants. Whosoever, precedes the Imamasws has denied established Kingdom of Allahazwj. An Imamasws can act as heasws finds it appropriate; however hisasws actions only correspond to the Will of Allahazwj.

Inscribed on his upper limb is the-declaration: The words of Allahazwj are accomplished with truth and justice. For the Imamasws are both the justice and the truth. A column of light (stretching) from the earth to the sky is created for himasws, in which he witnesses the actions of the mankind. Heasws is enrobed in the cloak of power and dignity; heasws knows what is in the minds and has access to the unseen-al-ghayb; heasws has been entrusted with absolute Power (in conducting his affairs); heasws beholds all that rests between the


46 out of 50

dominions of the East and the West: Nor is anything from the realms of ‘Mulk and Malakoot’ which is hidden from himasws; and heasws has the ability to communicate with the birds, who submit to hisasws Wilayah68.

Thus, heasws is the only one, whom Allahazwj has chosen for Hisazwj Revelations, has approved himasws for (knowledge of) the Al-ghaib (Unseen), has strengthened himasws by hisasws speech, and Instructed himasws in wisdom. Hisasws heart has made a station for Hisazwj Will. (Allahazwj) has Proclaimed Hisazwj Governance and has Granted himasws the (privilege) to rule, and has Commanded all to obey him. This is because the Imamate is the legacy of the Prophetsas, is equal to the rank (Manzilat) of the Awsiyaa (those who instruct to good). Indeed, it is the vicegerency of Allahazwj and His messengersas and therefore is regarded infallible, with (true) dominion and governance. Indeed, it is the (True) guidance since it is the perfection of the ‘deen’ and the benchmark of all virtues.

The Imamasws, is the guide for the seekers of the truth, an inspiration for the rightly guided, an established path for the travellers to Allahazwj and a radiant sun in the hearts of devotees of Allahazwj (al-Arifoon). Hisasws Wilayah is the vehicle leading to salvation, submission to himasws is obligatory in this life, (and has many benefits) as well as an instrument (of deliverance) in the hereafter, heasws is the source of courage and glory (izza) for the true believers; means of intercession for the sinners; a minarets of deliverance for those who immensely love himasws; a standard of triumph for the obedient.

This is due to the fact that an Imamasws, is the only one who can guide to the real Islamic path, through revealing the virtues of ‘Eman’, recognition of limits of rewards and punishments and clarifying the laws related to permissible and forbidden. Thus this status is only given to no one other than the one who is specially nominated and blessed by Allahazwj and is given a clear distinction and right to administer public affairs and is made sole responsible for people’s sustenance. Indeed, Imamasws provides knowledge of the boundaries and injunctions (of Allahazwj) and makes clear the lawful and unlawful.

The Imamate is a station that none can reach except those whom Allahazwj has chosen and has given them precedence (over others), investing them with the authority to rules and to judge. Thus, Wilayah is nothing other than safeguarding people from danger and disaster and the management of their all affairs, (even down to) demarcating the days and months.

The Imamasws, is Fresh and Sweet water for those thirsting (for knowledge & wisdom) A guide to true Guidance. The Imamasws, is ‘Ayat-e-Tatheer’, acquainted with mysteries of the unseen. The Imamasws, is the sun that rises over Allahazwj’s servants with its (illuminating) Rays.

The grasp and understanding of people cannot comprehend hisasws attributes. This is mentioned to in the words of Allahazwj, most high (in the Quran): “To Allahazwj belongs fearlessness and glory (Izza) and to his messenger and to the believers”. Here, the believers are being referred to as, Aliasws and his progenyasws. Thus might and glory is for Allahazwj, His Prophetsaww and hissaww progenyasws. (This verse shows that) the Prophetsaww and hissaww familyasws cannot be separated from one another until the end of the time, they are at the

68

Total authority and command on all aspects of life.

centre of the sphere of the faith; they are the poles of existence (i.e. around which all existent/ entities revolve); theyasws are the sky of generosity and the honour of all creation; they are the radiance of the sun of tribute, and the illumination of its moon; theyasws are the origin of all power and glory and the source of inspiration; theyasws are faith’s true meaning and its foundation.

The Imamasws, is the bright source of light (to enlighten the dark and cruel) path; the flowing stream leading to Allahazwj; stream of fresh water for the dried land; the swirling sea; the resplendent full moon (badr) and the brimming brook of guidance, the path and the deliverance in places of peril. The torrential cloud, the roving rain the perfect full moon, the noble guide, the shading sky, the glorious blessing, the sea that will never dry. Nobility that cannot be described, a fountain that forever flows, a garden (full of singing) birds, a fragrant and delightful flower (with) the sweetest smell and wafting aroma, the righteous conduct, the successful trade, the clear way, the gentle Physician, the compassionate father, the refuge for people in times of calamity, the judge, the command giver, the Prohibitor, Allahazwj’s ruler over Hisazwj people, His (Allahazwj’s) confidant on (matters of) reality, Proof of Allahazwj over Hisazwj servants (Heasws is) the object of pilgrimage on Allahazwj’s earth and the universe, ‘Informed’ of the Unseen. Hisasws personal qualities cannot be encompassed, hisasws inner virtues cannot be imagined and heasws is unfathomable reality. Heasws is Unique of hisasws age and unparalleled to none. Heasws is Allahazwj’s deputy in Hisazwj injunctions and prohibitions. There is none similar to himasws and no one can take hisasws place.

So, who is there that can attain knowledge about usasws; or can reach ourasws rank; or can witness ourasws miracles; or can ever comprehend ourasws status. In this matter, wisdom and intellect are bewildered; understanding becomes perplexed. Ourasws status is so eloquent that the great ones appear worthless, and the scholars dwindle (into insignificance); the Poets become exhausted and wary; the genius stutter and are speechless; the noble orators begin to stammer; and the masters of language are humbled.

Who has the ability and perception to recognise even one Divine attribute of an Imamasws, or could image or comprehend as the heavens and the earth are humbled when they (attempt) to describe the reality of the one who is in the focal point of the Universe, the pivot of all that revolve, the secrets of all that is possible to exist, the ray of Divine creator, the majesty of the Most Great and the honour of the heavens and the earth.

The station of the Prophetsaww‘s progeny is exalted above description of the describers and the qualifications depicted by the highly qualified. Nor can they be compared with anyone in any realm or world. How could it be possible to describe them, since theyasws are the first light (created by Allahazwj), the lofty words, the radiant Divine names and the greater oneness of Allahazwj . Thus, whoever turned away from themasws has indeed deserted oneness of Allahazwj, as theyasws are the greatest veil of Allahazwj.

Thus who has the merits to select such an Imamasws, who cannot be recognised by the wisdom. Actually, there is no one who had abilities to identify the noble Imamasws or even describe one of hisasws virtues. However, those who image that some of the qualities of Prophetsaww’s progeny can be found in other people are, in fact, crafty liars and have gone astray from the righteous path and they chose to worship the Calf (false god), as their lord

and have joined the ranks of shaytaan. This is all due to their intense animosity against the house of Devine qualities, and the familyasws of the virtuousness and infallibility and jealousy towards the household of Prophetsaww.

Shaytaan has made them believe that their (devious) actions, after all, are honourable. May Allahazwj destroy them and destine them towards hellfire. How could they have selected an ignorant as an imam, who used to worship idols and was a well-known deserter on the day of Holly wars (Battle). Although, it is incumbent that the Imam should be the most knowledgeable and not ignorant; brave and not withdrawing individual. And none should be superior to him in (nobility) descent and nor should be inferior (to anyone) in his lineage. Beware; the Imamasws can only be from the best of the Quraysh, the most nobility of Hashim and from the progeny of Ibrahimas. He is from the bloodline of Prophetsaww and is the ‘Nafs’-e-Rasoolsaww 69. He is chosen by the will of Allahazwj and hisasws selection is directly executed by Allahazwj.

Thus, heasws is the honour of all nobles and a branch from the (descendants of) Abd Manaaf; he has (complete) knowledge of (worldly) affairs and is well versed in the governance (of all affairs). Obedience to himasws is incumbent until the day of judgement and Allahazwj has made hisasws Heart a (vessel) for Hisazwj mystery and elects to speak through Imamasws’s tongue. Thus, Heasws is infallible, represents Allahazwj and is free from any element of ignorance and weakness.

O Tariq, the people have abandoned him and followed their own desires and who can be more astray than the one who follows his whims without any guidance from Allahazwj. O Tariq! the Imamasws may be considered like an angelas in the appearance of human being, a heavenly body, a divine command, a sacred spirit, a lofty station, a manifest light, a hidden secret. He is angelic in essence with attributes of the Divine powers, endowed with unlimited good qualities, possess the knowledge of the realms of the Unseen, specifically chosen by the Lord of the Worlds and is connected with the Truthful and Trustworthy (messenger of Allahazwj). All this is for the household of Muhammadsaww alone; nobody else can partake in this with them.

This is because theyasws are: the source of revelation and the meaning of its exposition; the elect of the Lord of Majesty; The place of Jibraeelas, Al-Ameen’s descent; the words of the attributes of Allahazwj; Hisazwj Secret and Hisazwj Words; the tree of Prophet-hood; the source of chivalry; the essence of all opinions; the ultimate meaning and signification; the station of apostolic wisdom; the illumination of majesty in proximity to Allahazwj, and in Hisazwj Care, the location of Allahazwj’s Word; the key to his wisdom; the lamps of Allahazwj’s mercy; the well springs of Hisazwj Bounty; the path that leads to Allahazwj - the salsabeel-the Qistaas al-Mustaqeem (the upright scale) the straight path; the remembrance (full) of wisdom; the noble face; the eternal light; possessors of honour and repute; take precedence over all noble and exalted; the successors of the noble Prophetsaww; the progeny of the compassionate and gentle (Prophetsaww); we are the progeny of one from the other, in the custody of the most High, the most Mighty- Allahazwj knows all and observes all of these.

69

Replicating the qualities of Prophetsaww


49 out of 50

These are the immense and unmistakable signs of guidance and the straight path. Whosoever recognises themasws and takes (guidance) from themasws, he is belongs to us. As per Rasool Allahsaww’s statement, “He who follows mesaww, surely he is from mesaww”, is an allusion to this (reality). Allahazwj created them (Prophets household) from the illumination of his majesty and entrusted them with the governing of the affairs of Hisazwj kingdom. (Thus, there is no doubt) theyasws are the treasured secret of Allahazwj and Hisazwj friends, those who are near (Awliya al-Muqarraboon).

Allahazwj’s (creative) command is between the letter ‘Kaaf’ and the letter ‘Nun’. Infact they are the ‘Kaaf’ and the ‘Nun’ since theyasws invite to Allahazwj, speak only what theyasws receive from Himazwj and carry out Hisazwj Commands. The knowledge of all the Prophetsas, the (divine) mysteries of the Awsiyaa and the power and glory of the Awliyaa, in comparison to themasws, is like a drop out of an ocean and a grain out of a desert. Indeed, the heavens and the earth to the Imamasws are like the hand and its palm. Heasws recognises what is visible as well as what is hidden; Heasws knows the pious among the sinners; what is in the wet and within the dry forms. This is because Allahazwj has taught his Prophetsaww the knowledge of what has been passed and what would appear, and all these protected secrete were inherited by Prophetsaww’s noble Awliyahasws. Whosoever, denies this is a cruel and cursed wretch, and as such is cursed by Allahazwj as well as by all those who also send curse in Allahazwj’s obedience.

How could Allahazwj make Incumbent upon Hisazwj servants the obedience of the one who is veiled from the mysteries of the heavens and the earth. The reality is that, a single word uttered (in Quran) in the praise of Aal-e-Muhammadasws, exceeds seventy dimensions (of knowledge). (Consider further), How often in the verses of the Noble reminder, the blessed book, the eternal words are mentioned in our praise, i.e., al-Ayn (eye), al-Wajh (face), al-Yadh (hand) and al-Janb (side). (It is obvious that) What is meant by these words is this Wilayah (pointing to himselfasws), as Imamasws is the side of Allahazwj, the face of Allahazwj, that is, the reality of Allahazwj, the knowledge of Allahazwj, and the essence of Allahazwj. (As for the phrase) ‘Hand of Allahazwj’ they are the manifestation of the implicit dimensions of the visible attributes. Thus, their (Ahl Al-Bayt’s) implicit is the manifestation of the Allahazwj’s explicit attributes. Theyasws are the explicit manifestation of the implicit and the implicit dimensions of the explicit. This is alluded to in the saying of the Prophetsaww “Indeed Allahazwj has no eyes and hands, but surely you and me, Ya Aliasws, are from them”.

Theyasws (The Ahl Al-Bayt) are the most elevated side (Al-Janb al-Aliyy); the most agreeable face (al-Wajh ar-Radiyy); the thirst-quenching spring; and the straight path. Theyasws are the means to (reach) Allahazwj, the link to Hisazwj pardon and Hisazwj pleasure. Theyasws are the mystery of the One, and the Uniqueness of the Unique (Allahazwj). It is not possible to compare anyone from mankind with themasws; They are: the elect of Allahazwj and chosen purely by Himazwj; the secret of religion and its wisdom; the gateway to faith and its Kaaba; the proof of Allahazwj and His destination; the signposts of guidance and its standard; the grace of Allahazwj and His mercy; the absolute certainty and its reality; the path of the Real and His protection; the origin of existence and its goal; the power of the Lord and His will; the source (origin) of the book and its end; the eloquent speech; the symbols and guardians and protectors of the revelation; the verse of Remembrance and its interpretation; the origin of revelation and its final (destiny); they are the lofty stars; they are the elevated

illuminations, kindled from the sun of Fatimah’s honour in the sky or Muhammed’s majesty; they are the branches of Prophet hood gushing forth from the tree of Ahmed; the divine mysteries placed in the form of a human (body).

The Ahl Al-Baytasws are: The pure progeny from Hashemite descent; the (truly) guide and the (truly) guided; thus theyasws alone are the best of creation; theyasws are the pure leaders; the infallible familyasws (protected from sin); the noble offspring; the rightly guided successors (of the Prophetsaww); the greatest of the Siddiqeen (the truth ones); the noble Awsiyaa; the tribe whom Allahazwj was pleased with; the rightly guided deliverers; the finest of the fine, from the family of Taha and Yaseen; The proof of Allahazwj for the first and last.

Theirasws names are etched on (every) stone, on (every) leaf of (every) tree, on the wings of every bird; on the gates of heavens and hell; on the throne (of Allahazwj); on the horizons; on the wings of angels; on the veils of majesty and on the canopies of glory and beauty.

With theirasws name the birds glorify (Allahazwj) and fish in the depths of ocean ask for forgiveness on behalf of their followers.

In fact, Allahazwj did not create anything until Heazwj Made them declare the oneness (of Allahazwj), the ‘Wilayah’ (supremacy) of the pure progenyasws and revulsion for theirasws enemies. The Throne (of Allahazwj) did not attain stability until it was inscribed with Divine light; There is no deity except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is the messenger of Allahazwj, and Aliasws is the Wali of Allahazwj.
