حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالا حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ جَمِيعاً قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ دَاوُدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ الْجَعْفَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عليه السلام قَالَ: أَقْبَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ مَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى يَدِ سَلْمَانَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَجَلَسَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ حَسَنُ الْهَيْئَةِ وَ اللِّبَاسِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام فَرَدَّ ع عليه السلام فَجَلَسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ ثَلَاثِ‌ مَسَائِلَ إِنْ أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِهِنَ‌ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ رَكِبُوا مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا أَقْضِي عَلَيْهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ لَيْسُوا بِمَأْمُونِينَ فِي دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ لَا فِي آخِرَتِهِمْ وَ إِنْ تَكُنِ الْأُخْرَى عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ وَ هُمْ شَرَعٌ سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عليه السلام سَلْنِي عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا نَامَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ رُوحُهُ وَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ كَيْفَ يَذْكُرُ وَ يَنْسَى وَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ كَيْفَ يُشْبِهُ وَلَدُهُ الْأَعْمَامَ وَ الْأَخْوَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَجِبْهُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا سَأَلْتَ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا نَامَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ رُوحُهُ فَإِنَّ رُوحَهُ مُتَعَلِّقَةٌ بِالرِّيحِ وَ الرِّيحُ مُتَعَلِّقَةٌ بِالْهَوَاءِ إِلَى وَقْتِ مَا يَتَحَرَّكُ صَاحِبُهَا لِلْيَقَظَةِ فَإِنْ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِرَدِّ تِلْكَ الرُّوحِ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا جَذَبَتْ تِلْكَ الرُّوحُ الرِّيحَ وَ جَذَبَتْ تِلْكَ الرِّيحُ الْهَوَاءَ فَرَجَعَتِ الرُّوحُ فَأَسْكَنَتْ فِي بَدَنِ صَاحِبِهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَأْذَنِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِرَدِّ تِلْكَ الرُّوحِ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا جَذَبَ الْهَوَاءُ الرِّيحَ وَ جَذَبَتِ الرِّيحُ الرُّوحَ فَلَمْ تُرَدَّ إِلَى صَاحِبِهَا إِلَى وَقْتِ مَا يُبْعَثُ وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الذُّكْرِ وَ النِّسْيَانِ فَإِنَّ قَلْبَ الرَّجُلِ فِي حُقٍّ وَ عَلَى الْحُقِّ طَبَقٌ فَإِنْ صَلَّى الرَّجُلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً تَامَّةً انْكَشَفَ ذَلِكَ

الرَّجُلَ إِذَا أَتَى أَهْلَهُ فَجَامَعَهَا بِقَلْبٍ سَاكِنٍ وَ عُرُوقٍ هَادِئَةٍ وَ بَدَنٍ غَيْرِ مُضْطَرِبٍ فَأَسْكَنَتْ تِلْكَ النُّطْفَةُ فِي جَوْفِ‌ الرَّحِمِ خَرَجَ الْوَلَدُ يُشْبِهُ أَبَاهُ وَ

وَقَعَتْ عَلَى عِرْقٍ مِنْ عُرُوقِ الْأَعْمَامِ أَشْبَهَ الْوَلَدُ أَعْمَامَهُ وَ إِنْ وَقَعَتْ عَلَى عِرْقٍ مِنْ عُرُوقِ الْأَخْوَالِ أَشْبَهَ الرَّجُلُ أَخْوَالَهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ

Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - may Allah be pleased with them - they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah; and Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari and Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar and Ahmad bin Idrees, all of them said: Narrated to us Ahmad bin Abi Abdullah Barqi: Narrated to us Abu Hashim Dawood bin Qasim Ja’fari from Abi Ja’far the second, Muhammad bin Ali (as) that he said: Amirul Momineen (as) entered Masjidul Haram accompanied by Imam Hasan (as) and leaning on the hand of Salman; and he sat down in the Masjid. A man of elegant appearance and nice dress entered and saluted Amirul Momineen (as). His Eminence returned his salutations. He said, “O Amirul Momineen (as) I wish to ask you about three things. If you give me correct replies I would know that those who claimed caliphate before you were false and that their world and the hereafter are not safe. If you do not reply correctly I will know that your path is the same as those who preceded you.” Amirul Momineen (as) said: “Ask me whatever you like.” He asked, “When a person dies, where does his soul go? How does man remember one thing and forget the other? Whom does a child resemble more, the paternal uncles or the maternal?” His Eminence told Imam Hasan (as) to reply to the queries. Imam Hasan (as) replied: As for your question about where the soul of man goes when he is asleep, the reply is that his soul is related to the breeze or wind. And the breeze is related to the air until the sleeper begins to wake up. When Allah permits, his soul is returned to his body. In this way the soul is pulled out from the breeze, and the breeze is pulled out from the air, and the soul comes and stays in the body of its owner. If Allah does not allow the soul to be restored, the air pulls the breeze and the breeze pulls the soul. Then the owner will not regain his soul until resurrection. As for how a man remembers or forgets, the heart of man is in a casket covered with a tray. If he recites complete Salawat on Muhammad and Aale Muhammad, the tray moves away and he recalls whatever he had forgotten. But if he does not recite the Salawat or recites an incomplete one, the tray covers the casket and his heart remains in darkness, causing forgetfulness. As for whom a child resembles more, when a man approaches his wife with tranquility, rested nerves, and a comforted body, and his seed rests peacefully in her womb, the child resembles his parents. But if the man is disturbed, the seed rests on one of the nerves of the wife; if related to the paternal side, the child resembles the paternal uncle, and if related to the maternal side, the child resembles the maternal uncle. The man said, “I bear witness there is no god except Allah and I have always borne witness thus. I bear witness Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and I have always testified to it. I bear witness that you are the legatee of the Messenger (saw) and the establisher of his proof and evidence.” Pointing towards Amirul Momineen (as) he said, “I have always testified this.” Then indicating towards Imam Hasan (as) he said, “I bear witness you are the legatee of Amirul Momineen (as) and will establish his proof and evidence. You are the one who proves the prophethood of the Messenger of Allah (saw). I bear witness that Husain bin Ali (as) is the legatee of his brother and the one to establish proof after him. I bear witness that Ali bin al-Husain (as) after the Imamate of Husain (as) is the proof of Allah. Then Muhammad bin Ali, then Ja’far bin Muhammad, then Musa bin Ja’far, then Ali bin Musa, then Muhammad bin Ali, then Ali bin Muhammad, then Hasan bin Ali. After that I bear witness that the Divine Proof is the son of Hasan bin Ali whose name and patronymic will not be revealed until he fills the earth with justice and equity as it would be fraught with injustice and oppression. Peace be upon you, O Amirul Momineen (as)!” After that he arose and departed. His Eminence told Imam Hasan (as), “O Aba Muhammad, go after him and see where he goes.” Imam Hasan (as) went out and returned after a moment and said, “He placed one foot outside the Masjid and after that I don’t know where he disappeared.” Amirul Momineen (as) said, “O Aba Muhammad, do you know who it was?” Imam Hasan (as) replied, “Allah, His Messenger, and Amirul Momineen (as) know better.” Ali (as) said, “He was Khizr.”

Narrated to us Muzaffar bin Ja’far bin Muzaffar Alawi Samarqandi (ra): Narrated to us Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Masud from his father: Narrated to us Jibraeel bin Ahmad from Musa bin Ja’far Baghdadi: Narrated to me Hasan bin Muhammad Sairafi from Hanan bin Sadeer from his father Sadeer bin Hakim from his father from Abi Saeed Aqisa that he said: When Hasan bin Ali (as) signed the peace treaty with Muawiyah some people came to him and condemned him for making peace. So he said: Woe be upon you, you do not know why I did that. By Allah, whatever I have done is better for my followers (Shias) than everything. Do you not know that I am your Imam whose obedience is incumbent upon you? And on the basis of the statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw), I am one of the chiefs of the youths of Paradise? All said: Yes, indeed it is so. The Imam said: Do you not know that when Khizr (as) made a hole in the boat, repaired the wall, and killed a boy, Musa bin Imran (as) did not like it since he was unaware of the wisdom behind those actions, even though all those actions were according to the dictates of divine wisdom? Do you know that there is none among us who did not have the allegiance of the tyrant ruler of his time around his neck, except for Qaim, behind whom the Spirit of Allah, Isa bin Maryam will pray? Indeed, Allah, the Mighty and the Sublime has kept his birth secret and his person unseen. When he reappears, he will not have the allegiance of anyone upon his neck. He is the ninth descendant of my brother Husain. He is the son of the best of the maidservants. The Almighty Allah will prolong his age during the occultation, then through His power will make him appear as a youthful man of less than forty years so that it may be known that the Almighty Allah is powerful over everything.
