Muhammad b. Ibrahim b. Ishaq narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Hamadani narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Faddal informed us from his father. He said: I heard `Ali b. Musa al-Rida say: Whoever seeks the forgiveness of Allah seventy times in Sha`ban, Allah will forgive his sins, even if they were similar in number to the stars.

Ja`far b. `Ali b. al-Hasan b. `Ali b. `Abdullah b. al-Mughira al-Kufi narrated to us. He said: My grandfather al-Hasan b. `Ali narrated to us from his grandfather `Abdullah b. al-Mughira. He said: Al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Yusuf narrated to us from `Amr b. Jami` from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers . He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whoever finds pleasure in meeting Allah on the Day of Resurrection with the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah in his Book, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him. It will be said to him: “O friend of Allah! Enter from wherever you’d like.” When he enters, he will say: “Praise be to Allah who brought about the night by His power and brought about the day as a new creation by His mercy. Greetings to the guardians, and may Allah enliven the writers.” He will look to his right, then he will look to his left, then he will say, “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Surely, I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, one without partners, and that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger. I bear witness that the Hour is coming, and that there is no doubt in it; and that Allah will resurrect those in the graves – upon that I live, and upon that I die, and upon that I will be raised again God-willingly. O Allah, send my greeting to Muhammad and his Family.”

Muhammad b. Ibrahim narrated to us. He said: Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. Jarir al-Tabari narrated to us. He said: Abu Muhammad al-Hasan b. `Abd al-Wahid al-Khazzaz narrated to us. He said: Isma`il b. `Ali al-Sindi narrated to me from Mani` b. al-Hajjaj from `Isa b. Musa from Ja`far al-Ahmar from Abu Ja`far Muhammad b. `Ali al-Baqir . He said: I heard Jabir b. `Abdullah al-Ansari say: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: On the Day of Resurrection, my daughter Fatima will come forward on a she-camel from the camels of Paradise. Its sides will be decorated, its muzzle will be of fresh pearl, its legs will be of green emerald, its tail will be of wondrous musk, and its eyes will be of red rubies. Upon it will be a dome of light, which could be seen both from within and from without. Her entrance is the forgiveness of Allah, and her exit is the mercy of Allah. Upon her head will be a crown of light. The crown will have seventy pillars, each with pearls and rubies inlaid, glowing just as a pearly planet glows atop heaven. On her right will be seventy thousand angels and, on her left, will be seventy thousand angels. Gabriel will be grasping the muzzle of the she-camel, calling at the top of his voice: “Lower your sights so that Fatima the daughter of Muhammad may pass.” That day, there will not be a prophet, messenger, saint, nor martyr but that he will lower his sight, until Fatima the daughter of Muhammad passes through. She will go before the Throne of her Lord, disembark from the she-camel, and say: “My God and my Master! Judge between me and those who oppressed me. O Allah, judge between me and those who killed my son.” Then, it will be called from the direction of Allah: “O My beloved and the daughter of My Beloved! Ask Me, and you will be granted your request; intercede, and your intercession will be granted; for, by My glory and My majesty, I will give My reward.” So, she will say: “My God and my Master! [Accept my intercession for] my offspring, my Shi`a, the Shi`a of my offspring, those who love me, and those who love my offspring.” Then, there will be a call from the direction of Allah: “Where are the offspring of Fatima, her Shi`a, those who love her, and those who love her offspring?” Then, they will come forward, surrounded by the angels of mercy. Fatima will then lead them until she brings them into Paradise.

Hamza b. Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Zayd b. `Ali b. al-Husayn b. `Ali b. Abi Talib narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father from `Ali b. Mu`abbad from al-Husayn b. Khalid from Abu’l Hasan `Ali b. Musa al-Rida from his father from his forefathers . He said: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: Whoever would like to board the Ark of Salvation, grapple onto the Firm Handle, and hold onto the firm Rope of Allah, should align with `Ali after me, oppose his enemy, and accept the Imams of Guidance from his descendants; for surely, they are my vicegerents, my deputies, and the Proofs of Allah over His creation after me. They are the Masters of my Nation and the ones who will lead the pious to Paradise. Their party is my party, and my party is the Party of Allah, and their enemies’ party is the Party of Satan.
