 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُوسَی بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَی بْنُ عِمْرَانَ النَّخَعِیُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی الْحُسَیْنُ بْنُ یَزِیدَ النَّوْفَلِیُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ السَّکُونِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: یُجَاءُ بِأَصْحَابِ الْبِدَعِ یَوْمَ الْقِیَامَهِ فَیُرَی الْقَدَرِیَّهُ مِنْ بَیْنِهِمْ کَالشَّامَهِ الْبَیْضَاءِ فِی الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ فَیَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَرَدْتُمْ فَیَقُولُونَ مَا أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا وَجْهَکَ فَیَقُولُ قَدْ أَقَلْتُکُمْ عَثَرَاتِکُمْ وَ غَفَرْتُ لَکُمْ زَلَّاتِکُمْ إِلَّا الْقَدَرِیَّهَ فَإِنَّهُمْ دَخَلُوا فِی الشِّرْکِ مِنْ حَیْثُ لَا یَعْلَمُونَ.

6. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakil who said it was narrated to me by Musa b. Ja’far who said it was narrated to us by Musa b. ’Imran Nakha’i who said it was narrated to me by al-Hussain b. Yazid al-Nawfali from Ismail b. Muslim al-Sakuni from Abi Abdillah Ja’far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers from Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) who said: “The people who do innovation (Bid-a’t) will be brought on the Day of Judgment in the same way as black and white bullocks are prominent. Qadiris will in the same way appear prominent among them and Allah, the Mighty and Sublime will ask: What was your intention? They will reply: Our intention was to seek Your pleasure. Allah will say: Your sins are forgiven but of the Qadiris are not. This is so because they committed polytheism in ignorance.”

 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی طَالِبٍ ع أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَیْهِ مُجَاهِدٌ مَوْلَی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ یَا أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ مَا تَقُولُ فِی کَلَامِ أَهْلِ الْقَدَرِ وَ مَعَهُ جَمَاعَهٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع مَعَکَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ فِی الْبَیْتِ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِمْ یَا أَمِیرَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ قَالَ أستتبهم [أَسْتَتِیبُهُمْ] فَإِنْ تَابُوا وَ إِلَّا ضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ.

7.  Once  a  group  of  people  were  present  before  Amirul Momineen  (a.s.)  when  the  narrator  asked,  “What  is  your opinion about Qadiriya?” Imam asked, “Is there any Qadiri with you or in this house?” The narrator asked, “What will you  tell  them?”  Imam  (a.s.)  replied,  “I  will  ask  them  to repent and if they do not repent, I will behead them.”

 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِیلَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ شُجَاعٍ عَنْ سَالِمٍ الْأَفْطَسِ عَنْ سَعِیدِ بْنِ جُبَیْرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ ع مَا خَلَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْقَدَرِیَّهِ إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْإِیمَانِ.
