259. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam who said: I heard Abu Abdullah saying: ‘I and my father went out until we arrived in between the Grave and the Pulpit (of the Rasool Allah ﷺ). There was a group of Shites over there, so I greeted them, and then said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! I love your aromas, and your spirits, so help me upon that by being pious and striving. And know that our Wilayah cannot be achieved except by piety and the striving, and the one from among you who follows a servant (an Imam ); he should emulate what he does. You are the Shites of Allah (azwj), and you are the Helpers of Allah (azwj), and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the later ones, and the foremost in the world, and the foremost in the Hereafter (and) to the Paradise. We have taken your responsibility for the Paradise on the Guarantee of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and the guarantee of the Rasool Allah ﷺ. By Allah (azwj)! There are no Levels of the Paradise where there are more Spirits than yours, so compete for the higher Levels. You are the good ones and your women are the good ones. Every Believing woman is a virgin Hourie and every Believer is a Truthful one. And Amir-ul-Momineen has said to Qanbar: ‘Receive good news, rejoice with the good news, and convey the good news, for, by Allah (azwj), the Rasool Allah ﷺ passed away while he ﷺ was angry with his ﷺ community except for the Shites’. Indeed! For everything there is an honour and the honour of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a pillar and the pillar of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a chief and the chief of the gatherings is the gathering of the Shites. Indeed! For every thing is an Imam, and the Imam of the earth is the land on which the Shites live. By Allah (azwj)! Had you all not been in the earth, an eye would have never ever see herbs. By Allah (azwj)! Had you all not been in the earth, Allah (azwj) would not have Favoured the people who oppose you nor would they have been in any goodness. They would have nothing for them in the world nor any share for them in the Hereafter. Every hostile one (Nasibi), if he were to worship, and struggle, would be attributed to this Verse: “[88:3] Toiling, Hostile one [88:4] Entering into burning fire”. So every Hostile One (Nasibi) who struggles, his deeds would be wasted. Our Shites speak with the ‘بِنُورِ’ Light of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and the one who are opposed to them speak by instinct (biological needs). By Allah (azwj)! There is none from our Shites who sleeps, except that Allah (azwj) Makes his soul to ascend to the sky to be Blessed. So if its term (death) has come, He (azwj) Makes it to be within the Treasures of His (azwj) Mercy, and in the Gardens of Paradise, and in the Shade of His (azwj) Throne. And if its term (death) has been delayed, He (azwj) sends it back along with the trusted Angels to return it to the body from which it came out to dwell in it. By Allah (azwj) those of you who perform the Hajj and the Umrah are the special ones of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. And the poor ones among you are the rich ones, and your rich ones are the contented ones. And all of you are the people whom He (azwj) Invited and the people who accepted His (azwj) Call’.
