16-4 The following tradition has been narrated by Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan and Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Musa - may God be pleased with them - who narrated that Ahmad ibn Yahya ibn Zakaria al-Qat’tan quoted Abu Bakr - Bakr ibn Abdullah ibn Habib, on the authority of Tamim ibn Buhlool, on the authority of Abu Muawiyah al-Zarir, on the authority of Al-A’amash, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB). The same has also been narrated by Bakr ibn Abdullah ibn Habib who quoted Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Nataviat, on the authority of Ali ibn Abdul Mumin al-Zaferan al-Kufy, on the authority of Muslim ibn Khalid al-Zanji, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq(MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB). The same tradition has been narrated by Bakr ibn Abdullah ibn Habib, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Sanán, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Khalid al-Barqy, on the authority of Muslim ibn Khalid that Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB) said:

“Thirteen groups (Tamim said sixteen groups) of the nation of my grandfather (MGB) do not like us. They do not teach the people to love us. They detest us. They do not follow us. They abandon us and advise the people to abandon us. They are truly our enemies and they deserve the Fire of Hell.” He was asked, ‘O (grand)son of God’s Prophet (MGB)! May God fend them off from you. Who are they?’ He (MGB) said, “They are the following: (1) Those who have an extra organ. You cannot find any one who has an extra organ but that he is an enemy of us and he does not show loyalty to us. (2) Those who are born defective. There are none whom the honorable the Exalted God has created to be defective who are not opposed to us in their hearts. (3) Those who are one-eyed from birth (the right eye in specific). You will not find anyone whom God has created to be blind but that he fights against us and he is on peaceful terms with our enemies. (4) The men with ever-lasting black hair - those whose hair never turns grey no matter how long they live. Their beard stays black like the neck of a crow. They always raly the people against us and increase the number of our enemies. (5) Men who are really dark. You will not find anyone of them but that he curses at us and praises our enemies. (6) Bald men. You do not see any bald men but that he slanders, defames, and goes about with slander against us. (7) The men who are greenish. Although they are many, no one of such men but that he welcomes us in our presence but defames us in our absence (i.e. two-faced), seeking to betray us. (8) The ostracized men. Whenever you meet any of them, you will find them incurring the animosity of us and openly misleading the people. (9) The leprous men. Whenever you meet any of them, you will find them waylaying us and ambushing our followers and us, intending to mislead us from the straight path. (10) The leucodermic ones, who are the firewood of Hell. They will inevitably be lodged there. (11) The sodomized ones. Whenever you meet any of them, you will find them chanting with dispraise of us and rallying others against us. (12) The people of a twon called Sejestan. They are our enemies and antagonists. They are verily the wickedest of all people and creatures. May the chastisement that is decided for Pharaoh, Haman, and Korah be decided for them. (13) The people of a city called Ray. They are the enemies of Allah, His Messenger, and the Messenger’s Household. They consider waging war against the Prophet’s Household as holy war and they consider their properties to be spoils of war. May the chastisement of disgrace inflict them in this world and in the Hereafter and may endless torture be inflicted upon them. (14) The people of a city called Mosul. They are the most vicious inhabitants of this earth. (15) The people of a city called al-Zawra, which will be built in the future. They quench their thirst with our blood and flatter the rulers by means of showing hatred against us. They show loyalty to our enemies, consider fighting against us as an obligatory duty, and consider waging war agaisnt us as inevitable necessity. O son, beware of these peoples. Beware of them! If two of them can put a hand on one of us, they will definitely intend to kill him. ”
