3 - قال أخبرني أبو علي الحسن بن علي بن فضل الرازي  قال: حدثنا أبو الحسن علي بن أحمد بن بشر العسكري، قال: حدثنا أبو إسحاق محمد بن هارون بن عيسى الهاشمي  قال: حدثنا أبو إسحاق إبراهيم بن مهدي الأبلي قال: حدثنا إسحاق بن سليمان الهاشمي  قال: حدثني أبي قال: حدثني هارون الرشيد قال: حدثني أبي المهدي قال: حدثني المنصور أبو جعفر عبد الله بن محمد بن علي قال: حدثني أبي، عن جدي علي بن عبد الله بن العباس، عن عبد الله بن العباس بن عبد المطلب قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول: يا أيها الناس نحن في القيامة ركبان أربعة ليس غيرنا ، فقال له قائل: بأبي أنت وأمي يا رسول الله من الركبان؟ قال: أنا على البراق، وأخي صالح على ناقة الله التي عقرها قومه، وابنتي فاطمة على ناقتي العضباء، وعلي بن أبي طالب على ناقة من نوق الجنة خطامها من لؤلؤ رطب، وعيناها من ياقوتتين حمراوين، وبطنها من زبرجد أخضر، عليها قبة من لؤلؤة بيضاء يرى ظاهرها من باطنها، وباطنها من ظاهرها، ظاهرها من رحمة الله، وباطنها من عفو الله، إذا أقبلت زفت، وإذا أدبرت زفت ، وهو أمامي. على رأسه تاج من نور، يضئ لأهل الجمع ذلك التاج، له سبعون ركنا كل ركن يضئ كالكوكب الدري في أفق السماء، وبيده لواء الحمد، وهو ينادي في القيامة، لا إله إلا الله، محمد رسول الله، فلا يمر بملأ من الملائكة إلا قالوا: نبي مرسل  ولا يمر بنبي مرسل إلا قال: ملك مقرب، فينادي مناد من بطنان العرش: يا أيها الناس ليس هذا ملكا مقربا، ولا نبيا مرسلا، ولا حامل عرش، هذا علي بن أبي طالب، وتجئ شيعته من بعده فينادي مناد لشيعته: من أنتم؟ فيقولون: نحن العلويون، فيأتيهم النداء: أيها العلويون أنتم آمنون، ادخلوا الجنة مع من كنتم توالون. 

3. He said: Abu ‘Ali al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Fadhl al-Razi reported to me from Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Bishr al-Askari, who reported from Abu Ishaq Muhammad ibn Haroon ibn Isa al-Hashimi, who reported from Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Mahdi al-Ibili, who reported from Ishaq ibn Sulaiman al-Hashimi, who reported from his father, who reported from Haroon al-Rashid, who reported from his father al-Mahdi, who reported from al-Mansur Abu Ja’far Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, from his father, from his grandfather ‘Ali ibn Abdillah ibn al-Abbas, from Abdillah ibn Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib, who said: I heard the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny say: "Four of us will be the riders on the Day of Resurrection and none other." So someone asked: "My father and mother be your ransom, who are the riders?" He said: "I will be riding al-Buraq, and my brother Swaleh will be mounting the god-sent she-camel which was hamstrung by his people, and my daughter Fatimah will be on my bright she-camel, and ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, who will ride one of the she-camels of Paradise, whose bridle will be of fresh pearls, whose eyes will of ruby, whose stomach will of green aquamarine; upon the camel will be cupola of translucent pearls, so that its exterior will be visible from within, and her interior will be seen from outside. Its exterior will be from the mercy of Allah, and its interior will be from His grace. She will be fast as she advances, and also as she retracts. He will be ahead of me. There will be a crown of light on his head, a crown which will give light to all assembled. It will have seventy corners, each shining like a brilliant star in the heaven; and in his hands will be the praised standard, and he will set forth announcing: ’There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.’ And he will pass among the angels, they will say: ’He must be from the sent Prophets.’ And as he will pass by the Prophets, they will say: ’He must be an angel nearest to Allah.’ And then it will be announced from inside the Throne: ’O people! He is neither an angel nearest to Allah, nor a sent Prophet, nor a carrier of the Throne. He is ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib.’ Then his Shi’ahs will follow, and it will be announced: ’Who are you?’ They will say: ’We are the partisans of ‘Ali.’ The answer will come: ’O partisans of ‘Ali, you are secure; enter the Paradise and be with those who you loved."
