2 - حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن موسى الدقاق (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا محمد ابن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، قال: حدثنا موسى بن عمران النخعي، عن عمه الحسين بن  يزيد النوفلي، عن الحسن بن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبيه، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن ابن عباس، قال: إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) كان جالسا ذات يوم إذ أقبل الحسن (عليه السلام)، فلما رآه بكى، ثم قال: إلي يا بني، فما زال يدنيه حتى أجلسه على فخذه اليمنى، ثم أقبل الحسين (عليه السلام)، فلما رآه بكى، ثم قال: إلي يا بني، فما زال يدنيه حتى أجلسه على فخذه اليسرى، ثم أقبلت فاطمة (عليها السلام)، فلما رآها بكى، ثم قال: إلى يا بنية، فأجلسها بين يديه، ثم أقبل أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام)، فلما رآه بكى، ثم قال: إلي يا أخي، فما زال يدنيه حتى أجلسه إلى جنبه الايمن، فقال له أصحابه: يا رسول الله، ما ترى واحدا من هؤلاء إلا بكيت، أو ما فيهم من تسر برؤيته! فقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): والذي بعثني بالنبوة، واصطفاني على جميع البرية، إني وإياهم لاكرم الخلق على الله عزوجل، وما على وجه الارض نسمة أحب إلي منهم. أما علي بن أبي طالب فإنه أخي وشفيقي، وصاحب الامر بعدي، وصاحب لوائي في الدنيا والآخرة، وصاحب حوضي وشفاعتي، وهو مولى كل مسلم، وإمام كل مؤمن، وقائد كل تقي، وهو وصيي وخليفتي على أهلي وأمتي في حياتي وبعد مماتي، محبه محبي، ومبغضه مبغضي، وبولايته صارت أمتي مرحومة، وبعداوته صارت المخالفة له منها ملعونة، وإني بكيت حين أقبل لاني ذكرت غدر الامة به بعدي حتى إنه ليزال عن مقعدي، وقد جعله الله له بعدي، ثم لا يزال الامر به حتى يضرب على قرنه ضربة تخضب منها لحيته في أفضل الشهور شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان. وأما ابنتي فاطمة، فإنها سيدة نساء العالمين من الاولين والآخرين، وهي بضعة مني، وهو نور عيني، وهي ثمرة فؤادي، وهي روحي التي بين جنبي، وهي الحوراء الانسية، متى قامت في محرابها بين يدي ربها جل جلاله زهر (1) نورها لملائكة السماء كما يزهر نور الكواكب لاهل الارض، ويقول الله عز وجل لملائكته: يا  ملائكتي، انظروا إلى أمتي فاطمة سيدة إمائي، قائمة بين يدي ترتعد فرائصها (1) من خيفتي، وقد أقبلت بقلبها على عبادتي، أشهدكم أني قد أمنت شيعتها من النار. وإني لما رأيتها ذكرت ما يصنع بها بعدي، كأني بها وقد دخل الذل بيتها، وانتهكت حرمتها، وغصبت حقها، ومنعت إرثها، وكسر جنبها (2)، وأسقطت جنينها، وهي تنادي: يا محمداه، فلا تجاب، وتستغيث فلا تغاث، فلا تزال بعدي محزونة مكروبة باكية، تتذكر انقطاع الوحي عن بيتها مرة، وتتذكر فراقي أخرى، وتستوحش إذا جنها الليل لفقد صوتي الذي كانت تستمع إليه إذا تهجدت بالقرآن، ثم ترى نفسها ذليلة بعد أن كانت في أيام أبيها عزيزة، فعند ذلك يؤنسها الله تعالى ذكره بالملائكة، فنادتها بما نادت به مريم بنت عمران، فتقول: يا فاطمة (إن الله اصطفاك وطهرك واصطفاك على نساء العالمين)، يا فاطمة (اقنتي لربك واسجدي واركعي مع الراكعين) (3). ثم يبتدئ بها الوجع فتمرض، فيبعث الله عز وجل إليها مريم بنت عمران، تمرضها وتؤنسها في علتها، فتقول عند ذلك: يا رب، إني قد سئمت الحياة، وتبرمت بأهل الدنيا، فألحقني بأبي. فيلحقها الله عز وجل بي، فتكون أول من يلحقني من أهل بيتي، فتقدم علي محزونة مكروبة مغمومة مغصوبة مقتولة، فأقول عند ذلك: اللهم العن من ظلمها، وعاقب من غصبها، وأذل من أذلها، وخلد في نارك من ضرب جنبها حتى ألقت ولدها، فتقول الملائكة عند ذلك: آمين. وأما الحسن فإنه ابني وولدي، ومني، وقرة عيني، وضياء قلبي، وثمرة فؤادي، وهو سيد شباب أهل الجنة، وحجة الله على الامة، أمره أمري، وقوله قولي، من تبعه فإنه مني، ومن عصاه فليس مني، وإني لما نظرت إليه تذكرت ما يجرى عليه من الذل بعدي، فلا يزال الامر به حتى يقتل بالسم ظلما وعدوانا، فعند ذلك تبكي الملائكة  والسبع الشداد لموته، ويبكيه كل شئ حتى الطير في جو السماء، والحيتان في جوف الماء، فمن بكاه لم تعم عينه يوم تعمي العيون، ومن حزن عليه لم يحزن قلبه يوم تحزن القلوب، ومن زاره، في بقيعه ثبتت قدمه على الصراط يوم تزل فيه الاقدام. وأما الحسين فإنه مني، وهو ابني وولدي، وخير الخلق بعد أخيه، وهو إمام المسلمين، ومولى المؤمنين، وخليفة رب العالمين، وغياث المستغيثين، وكهف المستجيرين، وحجة الله على خلقه أجمعين، وهو سيد شباب أهل الجنة، وباب نجاة الامة، أمره أمري، وطاعته طاعتي، من تبعه فإنه مني، ومن عصاه فليس مني، وإني لما رأيته تذكرت ما يصنع به بعدي، كأني به وقد استجار بحرمي وقبري (1) فلا يجار، فأضمه في منامه إلى صدري، وآمره بالرحلة على دار هجرتي، وأبشره بالشهادة، فيرتحل عنها إلى أرض مقتله وموضع مصرعه أرض كرب وبلاء وقتل وفناء، تنصره عصابة من المسلمين، أولئك من سادة شهداء امتي يوم القيامة، كأني أنظر إليه وقد رمي بسهم فخر عن فرسه صريعا، ثم يذبح كما يذبح الكبش مظلوما. ثم بكى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) وبكى من حوله، وارتفعت أصواتهم بالضجيج، ثم قام (صلى الله عليه وآله): وهو يقول: اللهم إني أشكو إليك ما يلقى أهل بيتي بعدي، ثم دخل منزله (2).

`Ali b. Ahmad b. Musa al-Daqqaq (rh) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Abi `Abdullah al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: Musa b. `Imran al-Nakha`i narrated to us from his uncle al-Husayn b. Yazid al-Nawfali from al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Abi Hamza from his father from Sa`id b. Jubayr from Ibn `Abbas. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) was sitting one day when al-Hasan (as) came. When he saw him, he wept and said: Come to me, my son. He sat him down on his right thigh. Then, al-Husayn (as) came. When he saw him, he wept and said: Come to me, my son. He sat him down on his left thigh. Then, Fatima (sa) came. When he saw her, he wept and said: Come to me, my daughter. He sat her down in front of him. Then, Amir al-Mu’minin (as) came. When he saw him, he wept and said: Come to me, my brother. He sat him down to his right side. So, his companions said to him: O Messenger of Allah! You did not see one of these except that you wept. What is in them that caused this?! So, he (s) said: By He who raised me up as a prophet and selected me above all the people! I and them are the dearest creatures to Allah, and nothing on the face of the Earth is more beloved to me than them.  As for `Ali b. Abi Talib, he is my brother and my confidant, the Master of the Order after me, my standard bearer in this world and the Hereafter, and the Master of my Pond and my intercession. He is the Master of every Muslim, the Imam of every believer, and the leader of every pious person. He is my deputy and my vicegerent over my family and my Nation both during my life and after my death. Love of him is love of me, hatred of him is hatred of me. By his allegiance, my Nation is given mercy, and by opposing him, the opponents were cursed. I wept when he came because I remembered my Nation's betrayal of him after me - he will be betrayed until he is unable to take my seat. Allah has made him after me, and his authority will not fall until the side of his head is struck and his beard is soaked by it [with blood] in the best month, the month of Ramadan, in which the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for the people and elucidations of guidance and a criterion. As for my daughter Fatima, she is the Mistress of the Women of the Worlds, from the first to the last. She is a part of me, the light of my eye, the fruit of my heart, and my spirit within me. She is a human houri. Whenever she stands at her prayer-niche before her Lord, her light illuminates for the angels of the heavens, just as the light of the stars illuminate for the people of the Earth; and Allah says to His angels, 'O My angels! Look at My female servant Fatima, the Mistress of My female servants, standing before Me. Her chest shivers out of fear of Me, and she has set her heart to worshiping Me. I bear witness to you that I have made her followers safe from the Fire.' When I saw her, I remembered what would happen to her after me. It is as if I am with her, as disgrace enters her home, and her sanctity is violated, and her right is taken away, and she is prevented from her inheritance, and her side (rib) is broken, and her fetus is miscarried as she calls, “O Muhammada!” and she is not answered. She will call for help, but not be helped. After me, she will always be grieving, distressed, and weeping. In a moment, she will recall the cessation of revelation to her house, and in the next moment, she will recall my absence. She will be lonely when night comes to her and she does not hear my voice reciting the Qur'an in the night prayer. She will see herself become humiliated after being honoured in the days of her father. At that, Allah will give her solace through the angels, and they will call to her what they called to Mary the daughter of `Imran. They will say, “O Fatima! Surely, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above the women of the worlds. O Fatima! Devote yourself to your Lord, prostrate, and bow with those who bow.” Then, her pain will begin, and she will become ill, so Allah will send Mary the daughter of `Imran to her, to take care of her in her illness and give her solace. At that, Fatima will say, “O Lord! I have despised life, and I am discontented with the people of this world, so reunite me with my father.” So, Allah will reunite her with me, and she will be the first to follow me from my family. She will come to me grieving, distressed, sorrowful, robbed, and killed. At that, I will say: “May Allah curse those who oppressed her, and punish those who robbed her, and humiliate those who humiliated her, and put he who struck her side and caused her miscarriage in the Fire forever.” At that, the angels will say “Amen.” As for al-Hasan, he is my son and my child. He is from me, the joy of my eye, the light of my heart, and the fruit of my heart. He is the Master of the Youth of Paradise, and the Proof of Allah upon the Nation. His order is my order, and his words are my words. Whomever follows him is of me, and whomever disobeys him is not of me. When I looked at him, I remembered the humiliation he will experience after me. His authority will remain until he is killed with poison in oppression and enmity. At that, the angels will weep over his death, and everything will weep over him, including the birds in the sky and the whales in the sea. Whomever weeps over him will not be blinded on the Day that the eyes will be blinded. Whomever grieves over him will not grieve on the Day that the hearts will grieve. Whomever visits him in his Baqi`, his feet will be firm on the Path on the Day that the feet will falter. As for al-Husayn, he is from me, he is my son and my child. He is the best of the creation after his brother. He is the Imam of the Muslims, the Master of the believers, the vicegerent of the Lord of the Worlds, the helper of those who seek help, the cave of those who seek refuge, the Proof of Allah upon His whole creation, the Master of the Youth of Paradise, and the Gate of Salvation of my Nation. His order is my order, his obedience is my obedience. Whomever follows him is of me, and whomever disobeys him disobeys him is not of me. When I saw him, I remembered what will happen to him after me. It is as if I am with him when he appeals for help by my sanctity and my grave, but he is not helped. So, I will come to him in his dream and order him to take a trip to me, and I will give him glad tidings of martyrdom. So, he will go to the land of his killing and his demise, the land of suffering and calamity and killing and annihilation. A group of Muslims will support him, and they will be from the Masters of the Martyrs of my Nation on the Day of Resurrection. It is as if I am looking at him as is struck with a spear and falls off his horse. He will then be slaughtered as an oppressed ram is slaughtered. Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) wept, and those around him wept, and their voices were raised. Then, he (s) stood, saying: O Allah, I complain to You regarding what will happen to my Ahl al-Bayt after me. Then, he entered his house.

3 - حدثنا أحمد بن هارون الفامي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن جعفر بن جامع الحميري، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى (3)، عن محمد بن سنان، عن المفضل بن عمر، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده (عليهم السلام): أن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام) دخل يوما إلى الحسن (عليه السلام)، فلما نظر إليه بكى، فقال له: ما يبكيك يا أبا عبد الله؟ قال: أبكى لما يصنع بك. فقال له الحسن (عليه السلام): إن الذي يؤتى إلي سم يدس إلي فاقتل به، ولكن لا يوم كيومك يا أبا عبد الله، يزدلف إليك ثلاثون ألف رجل، يدعون أنهم من  أمة جدنا محمد (صلى الله عليه وآله)، وينتحلون دين الاسلام، فيجتمعون على قتلك، وسفك دمك، وانتهاك حرمتك، وسبي ذراريك ونسائك، وانتهاب ثقلك، فعندها تحل ببني أمية اللعنة، وتمطر السماء رمادا ودما، ويبكي عليك كل شئ حتى الوحوش في الفلوات، والحيتان في البحار (1).

Ahmad b. Harun (ra) narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. `Abdullah b. Ja`far b. Jami` al-Himyari narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Yahya from Muhammad b. Sinan from al-Mufaddal b. `Umar from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his grandfather (as). One day, al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib (as) visited al-Hasan (as). When he saw him, he wept. So, he said to him: What makes you weep, O Aba `Abdillah? He said: I weep over what will happen to you. So, al-Hasan (as) said to him: When poison comes to me, I will be killed by it. However, there is no day like your day, O Aba `Abdillah. Thirty thousand men who claim that they are from the Nation of our grandfather, Muhammad (s), and who disguise [themselves with] the religion of Islam will gather to kill you, shed your blood, desecrate your sanctity, take your offspring and your women captive, and pillage your belongings. At that, damnation will fall on the Umayyads and the sky will rain ashes and blood. Everything will weep for you, even the beasts in the wastelands and the whales in the oceans.

4 - حدثنا أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد ابن محمد بن عيسى (2)، قال: حدثنا العباس بن معروف، [ عن عبد الله بن المغيرة ] (3)، قال: حدثنا أبو حفص العبدي، عن أبي هارون العبدي، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إذا سألتم الله عز وجل فاسألوه لي الوسيلة. فسألت النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) عن الوسيلة، فقال: هي درجتي في الجنة، وهي ألف مرقاة، ما بين المرقاة إلى المرقاة حضر الفرس الجواد شهرا، وهي ما بين مرقاة جوهر إلى مرقاة زبرجد، ومرقاة ياقوت إلى مرقاة ذهب إلى مرقاة فضة، فيؤتى بها يوم القيامة حتى تنصب مع درجة النبيين، فهي في درج النبيين كالقمر بين الكواكب، فلا يبقى يومئذ نبي ولا صديق ولا شهيد إلا قال: طوبى لمن كانت هذه الدرجة درجته، فيأتي النداء من عند الله عز وجل، يسمع النبيين وجميع الخلق: هذه درجة محمد. فاقبل وأنا يومئذ متزر بريطة (4) من نور، علي تاج الملك وإكليل الكرامة، وعلي ابن أبي طالب أمامي، وبيده لوائي، وهو لواء الحمد، مكتوب عليه: لا إله إلا الله، المفلحون هم الفائزون بالله. وإذا مررنا بالنبيين قالوا: هذان ملكان مقربان لم نعرفهما ولم نرهما، وإذا مررنا بالملائكة قالوا: هذان نبيان مرسلان، حتى أعلو الدرجة وعلي يتبعني، حتى إذا صرت في أعلى درجة منها، وعلي أسفل مني بدرجة، فلا يبقى  يومئذ نبي ولا صديق ولا شهيد إلا قال: طوبى لهذين العبدين، ما أكرمهما على الله! فيأتي النداء من قبل الله جل جلاله، يسمع النبيين والصديقين والشهداء والمؤمنين: هذا حبيبي محمد، وهذا وليي علي، طوبى لمن أحبه، وويل لمن أبغضه وكذب عليه. ثم قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): فلا يبقى يومئذ أحد أحبك - يا علي - إلا استروح إلى هذا الكلام، وابيض وجهه، وفرح قلبه، ولا يبقى أحد ممن عاداك أو نصب لك حربا أو جحد لك حقا إلا اسود وجهه واضطربت قدماه. فبينا أنا كذلك إذا ملكان قد أقبلا إلي، أما أحدهما فرضوان خازن الجنة، وأما الآخر فمالك خازن النار، فيدنو رضوان فيقول: السلام عليك يا أحمد. فأقول: السلام عليك أيها الملك، من أنت؟ فما أحسن وجهك وأطيب ريحك! فيقول: أنا رضوان خازن الجنة، وهذه مفاتيح الجنة، بعث بها إليك رب العزة، فخذها يا أحمد. فأقول: قد قبلت ذلك من ربي، فله الحمد على ما فضلني به، ادفعها إلى أخي علي بن أبي طالب. ثم يرجع رضوان، فيدنو مالك فيقول: السلام عليك يا أحمد. فأقول: السلام عليك أيها الملك من أنت، فما أقبح وجهك، وأنكر رؤيتك! فيقول: أنا مالك خازن النار، وهذه مقاليد النار، بعث بها إليك رب العزة، فخذها يا أحمد. فأقول: قد قبلت ذلك من ربي، فله الحمد على ما فضلني به، ادفعها إلى أخي علي بن أبي طالب. ثم يرجع مالك، فيقبل علي ومعه مفاتيح الجنة ومقاليد النار حتى يقف على عجزة جهنم وقد تطاير شررها، وعلا زفيرها، واشتد حرها، وعلي آخذ بزمامها، فتقول له جهنم: جزني يا علي، فقد أطفأ نورك لهبي. فيقول لها علي: قري يا جهنم، وخذي هذا، واتركي هذا، خذي هذا عدوي، واتركي هذا وليي، فلجهنم يومئذ أشد مطاوعة لعلي من غلام أحدكم لصاحبه، فإن شاء يذهبها يمنة، وإن شاء يذهبها يسرة، ولجهنم يومئذ أشد مطاوعة لعلي فيما يأمرها به من جميع الخلائق (1).

My father (ra) narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad b. `Isa narrated to us. He said: al-`Abbas b. Ma`ruf narrated to us from `Abdullah b. al-Mughira. He said: Abu Hafs al-`Abdi narrated to us from Abi Harun al-`Abdi from Abi Sa`id al-Khudri. He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: When you ask Allah, ask Him for the means to me. So, the Prophet (s) was asked about the means, so he said: It is my rank in Paradise. It consists of one thousand degrees, between each degree of which is the travel distance of one month on a horse – from a degree of jewel, to a degree of aquamarine, to a degree of ruby, to a degree of gold, to a degree of silver. It will be brought forth on the Day of Resurrection and installed with the degrees of the prophets. It will be to the degrees of the prophets as the Moon is to the stars. There will not be a prophet, saint, or martyr on that day except that he says: “Blessed is he to whom these degrees belong.” Then, a call will come from Allah, which will be heard by the prophets and all of creation: “These are the degrees of Muhammad”. I will then proceed, and on that day, I will be wearing a gown of light, with a crown of rulership and a wreath of dignity. `Ali b. Abi Talib will be in front of me, with my banner in his hand, which is the Banner of Praise. On it, it is written: “There is no god but Allah. The successful are those who prevail by Allah”. When we pass by the prophets, they will say: “These are two Angels of Proximity. We do not recognize them, nor have we seen them before.” When we pass by the angels, they will say: “These are two commissioned prophets”, until I ascend the degrees with `Ali following me. Once I reach the highest of its degrees, with `Ali under me by one degree, there will not be a prophet, saint, or martyr that day except that he will say: “Blessed are these two servants. How Allah has blessed them!” Then, a call will be made from the direction of Allah, which will be heard by the prophets, the saints, the martyrs, and the believers: “This is My Beloved, Muhammad, and this is My Friend, `Ali. Blessed is he who loves him, and woe to he who hates him and lies against him.” Then, the Messenger of Allah (s) said: On that day, there will not remain one person who loves you – O `Ali – except that he will be relieved by these words. Their faces will be illuminated, and their hearts will be gladdened. There will not remain one person who opposed you, warred against you, or denied your right except that their faces will be darkened, and they will stomp their feet. Two angels will come to me – one of them will be Ridwan, the treasurer of Paradise, and the other will be Malik, the treasurer of the Fire. Ridwan will come forward and say: “Peace be with you, Ahmad.” I will say: “Peace be with you, angel. Who are you? How beautiful is your face and how sweet is your fragrance!” So, he will say: “I am Ridwan, the treasurer of Paradise, and these are the keys of Paradise. The Lord of Glory has given it to you, so take it, Ahmad.” So, I will say: “I accept that from my Lord. Praise be to Him for what He has ennobled me with. I give it to my brother `Ali b. Abi Talib.” Then, Ridwan will go back, and Malik will come forward and say: “Peace be with you, Ahmad.” So, I will say: “Peace be with you, angel. Who are you? How unpleasant is your face and how adverse is your appearance!” So, he will say: “I am Malik, the treasurer of the Fire, and these are the reins of the Fire. The Lord of Glory has given it to you, so take it, Ahmad.” So, I will say: “I accept that from my Lord. Praise be to Him for what He has ennobled me with. I give it to my brother `Ali b. Abi Talib.” Then, Malik will go back, and `Ali will come forward with the keys of Paradise and the reins of the Fire until he stands at the mouth of Hell, with its sparks flying, its roar amplifying, and its heat intensifying. `Ali will be holding the reins when Hell says to him: “O `Ali! Your light is extinguishing my flames.” So, `Ali will say to it: “Calm down, Hell. Take so-and-so and leave so-and-so. Take this enemy of mine and leave this friend of mine.” On that day, Hell will be more obedient to `Ali than one of your servants will be to his master – if he wants, he can take it right, and if he wants, he can take it left. On that day, Hell will be more obedient to the orders of `Ali than all of creation.
