431. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: I asked Abu Ja’far (a.s) that, ‘Some of our companions are fabricating (Hadeeth) and throwing them against the ones who oppose them’. So he (a.s) said to me: ‘Refraining from them is more beautiful’. Then said: ‘By Allah (azwj), O Abu Hamza! The people, all of them, are the children of the transgressors (adultery) except for our (a.s) Shites’. I said, ‘How can there be a way out for me, from this?’ So he (a.s) said to me: ‘The Revealed Book of Allah (azwj) has Evidences against them. Surely, Allah (azwj) Made for us (a.s) the People (a.s) of the Household three portions in the whole of the spoils of war (Al-Fey). Then Allah (azwj) Said: “[8:41] And know that whatever you take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer”. So we (a.s) are the owners of Al-Khums (the fifth), and the spoils of war (Al-Fey), and it has been Made unlawful to all the people except for our (a.s) Shites. By Allah (azwj), O Abu Hamza! There is no land which has been conquered, and no fifth (Khums) has been applied on anything from it except that it was unlawful for the one who received it for his genitals or assets. And if the truth were to appear (Al-Qaim (a.s)) the man would be desperate to sell himself cheaply to the extent that the man from among them would be prepare to ransom himself with all of his wealth, and seek the salvation for himself. So he will not achieve anything from that. And they have taken us (a.s) and our (a.s) Shites out from those rights of ours without an excuse, or right, or proof’. I said, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[9:52] Say: Do you await for us but one of two most excellent things?” He (a.s) said: ‘But it is death in obedience to Allah (azwj) or realisation of the appearance of Imam (a.s) (Al-Qaim (a.s), And we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself and it is metamorphosis or by our hands and it is the killing. Allah (azwj) Said to His (azwj) Prophet ﷺ: “So wait; we too will wait with you”. And the waiting is for the occurrence of the affliction upon their (a.s) enemies’.
