282. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad, from Yunus, from Abdul A’ala who said: I said to Abu Abdullah that, ‘May I be sacrificed for you , your Shites hate and dispel each other. If you could look into this affair of theirs’. So he said: ‘I am thinking of writing a document so that no two of them would differ’. I said, ‘We have never been more needy of it than we are today’. Then he said: ‘This (will not settle the matter between) Marwaan and Ibn Dharr’. I thought that he had prevented me from that. I stood up from his presence, so I came up to Ismail. I said, ‘O Abu Muhammad! I mentioned to your father the differing of his Shites and their hatred (towards each other). So he said: ‘I am thinking of writing a book so that no two of them would differ’. He said, ‘What Marwaan and Ibn Dharr have said?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘O Abdul A’ala! You all have rights over us as we have rights over you all. By Allah (azwj), you are not quicker to us for the rights than we are to you’. Then he said, ‘I will look into it’. Then said: ‘O Abdul A’ala! What is wrong with a people if their matter was one that they would turn their attention to one man , taking (instructions) from him and not oppose him , and assign their matters to him ?’ O Abdul A’ala! It is not befitting for the Believer that if his brother has preceded him to a Level from the Levels of the Paradise that he should pull him back from his place, which he is in. And it does not befit this other one who has not reached (to his level) that he should push back his chest, but he should hold his hand and make him join him, and seek Forgiveness from Allah (azwj)’.
