فَقَالَ اَللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ «يَا مُوسَى أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَلاَئِكَتِي وَ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِي » فَقَالَ مُوسَى يَا رَبِّ فَإِنْ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَكْرَمَ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ فَهَلْ فِي آلِ اَلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ آلِي
قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يَا مُوسَى أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فَضْلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ آلِ اَلنَّبِيِّينَ كَفَضْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ اَلْمُرْسَلِينَ» فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ فَإِنْ كَانَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ كَذَلِكَ فَهَلْ فِي أُمَمِ اَلْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَكَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي
ظَلَّلْتَ «عَلَيْهِمُ اَلْغَمٰامَ» وَ أَنْزَلْتَ «عَلَيْهِمُ اَلْمَنَّ وَ اَلسَّلْوىٰ» وَ فَلَقْتَ لَهُمُ اَلْبَحْرَ فَقَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يَا مُوسَى أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ فَضْلَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ اَلْأُمَمِ كَفَضْلِهِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِي»
فَقَالَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَا رَبِّ لَيْتَنِي كُنْتُ أَرَاهُمْ فَأَوْحَى اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ «يَا مُوسَى إِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَاهُمْ فَلَيْسَ هَذَا أَوَانُ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَ لَكِنْ سَوْفَ تَرَاهُمْ فِي اَلْجِنَانِ، جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ وَ اَلْفِرْدَوْسِ بِحَضْرَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي نَعِيمِهَا يَتَقَلَّبُونَ وَ فِي خَيْرَاتِهَا يَتَبَجَّحُونَ أَ فَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُسْمِعَكَ كَلاَمَهُمْ»
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا إِلَهِي قَالَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «قُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ اُشْدُدْ مِئْزَرَكَ قِيَامَ اَلْعَبْدِ اَلذَّلِيلِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اَلْمَلِكِ اَلْجَلِيلِ» فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَنَادَى رَبُّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ «يَا أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَجَابُوهُ كُلُّهُمْ»
و هُمْ فِي أَصْلاَبِ آبَائِهِمْ وَ أَرْحَامِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ: لَبَّيْكَ اَللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ إِنَّ اَلْحَمْدَ وَ اَلنِّعْمَةَ لَكَ وَ اَلْمُلْكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَبَّيْكَ
قَالَ فَجَعَلَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ تِلْكَ اَلْإِجَابَةَ شِعَارَ اَلْحَجِّ» وَ اَلْحَدِيثُ طَوِيلٌ أَخَذْنَا مِنْهُ مَوْضِعَ اَلْحَاجَةِ وَ قَدْ أَخْرَجْتُهُ فِي تَفْسِيرِ اَلْقُرْآنِ.
Hadith.2586 - Muhammad ibn al-Qasim al-Astarabadi narrated to me from Yusuf ibn Muhammad ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Yasar, from their fathers, from al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib, from his father, from his forefathers, from Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), who said:
“The Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said:
When Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, sent Musa ibn Imran (as) and chose him as His confidant, parted the sea for him, saved the Children of Israel, and granted him the Torah and the Tablets, Musa saw his position before his Lord (azj), the Almighty, and said:
'O Lord (azj), You have honored me with an honor that You have not bestowed upon anyone before me.'
Allah (swt), Glorified and Exalted, replied: 'O Musa, do you not know that Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) is more virtuous in My sight than all My angels and all My creation?'
Musa then said: 'O Lord (azj), if Muhammad is more honored in Your sight than all of Your creation, is there anyone among the families of the Prophets more honored than my family?'"
Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, said:
"O Musa, do you not know that the excellence of the family of Muhammad over all the families of the Prophets is like the excellence of Muhammad over all the messengers?"
Musa said: "O Lord (azj), if the family of Muhammad is like that, then is there any nation among the nations of the Prophets more virtuous in Your sight than my nation, for whom You shaded the clouds, sent down manna and quails, and parted the sea?"
Allah (swt), the Almighty, replied: "O Musa, do you not know that the excellence of the nation of Muhammad over all nations is like his excellence over all My creation?"
Musa said: "O Lord (azj), I wish I could see them."
Allah (swt) revealed to him: "O Musa, you will not see them, for this is not their time of appearance. But you will see them in Paradise, in the Gardens of Eden and Al-Firdaws, in the company of Muhammad, enjoying its delights and rejoicing in its bounties. Would you like Me to let you hear their speech?"
Musa said: "Yes, O my God."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, said: "Stand before Me, gird your loins, and stand like a humble servant before the Glorious King."
Musa did as he was commanded, and our Lord (azj), the Almighty, called out: "O nation of Muhammad!"
They all answered Him, even though they were still in the loins of their fathers and the wombs of their mothers:
"Labbayka Allah}umma Labbayk, Labbayka la sharika laka Labbayk, inna al-hamda wa al-ni'mata laka wa al-mulk, la sharika laka Labbayk."
Allah (swt), the Almighty, made this response the slogan of Hajj.
