1 Ḥadīth

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُصَيْنِ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ حَسِبُوا أَلَّا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ قَالَ حَيْثُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ فَعَمُوا وَ صَمُّوا حَيْثُ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) ثُمَّ تابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَيْثُ قَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ ثُمَّ عَمُوا وَ صَمُّوا إِلَى السَّاعَةِ.


239. Muhammad ibn Yahya reported from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, from Muhammad ibn Al-Husayn, from Khalid ibn Yazid Al-Qummi, from some of his companions, from Abu Abdullah (a.s) regarding the words of Allah, the Exalted: "And they thought that there would be no trial." He said: "When the Prophet ﷺ was among them, they were blind and deaf. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, Allah then accepted their repentance when the Commander of the Faithful (a.s) stood up. Then they became blind and deaf until this hour."
