5-91 Muhammad ibn Ali ibn ash-Shah narrated that Abu Hamid quoted Abu Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salih al-Tamimy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Anas ibn Muhammad Abu Malik, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq عليه السلام, on the authority of his father عليه السلام, on the authority of his grandfather عليه السلام, on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib عليه السلام that in his will to Ali عليه السلام, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم told him, “O Ali! Abdul Muttalib practiced five traditions - during the Age of Ignorance - which God established in Islam for his sake.
He forbade marrying women to whom your fathers married. Thus, the Honorable the Exalted God revealed ‘And marry not women whom your fathers married,…’
He found a treasure and did not pay the one-fifth levy on it, but gave it away in charity. Then the Honorable the Exalted God revealed, ‘And know that out of all the booty that ye may acquire (in war), a fifth share is assigned to God,- and to the Apostle, and to near relatives, orphans, the needy, and the way-farer,- if ye do believe in God and in the revelation We sent down to Our servant on the Day of Testing,- the Day of the meeting of the two forces. For God hath power over all things.’
When he dug up the Zamzam well, he called it ‘the place for the pilgrims to drink from.’ Then God revealed ‘Do ye make the giving of drink to pilgrims, or the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque, equal to (the pious service of) those who believe in God and the Last Day, and strive with might and main in the cause of God? They are not comparable in the sight of God: and God guides not those who do wrong.’
He established one-hundred camels to be the blood-money for unintentional killing. Then the Honorable and Exalted God established this in Islam.
There was no certain number for the rounds of circumambulation of the Ka’ba. Abdul Muttalib established that to be seven times. Then the Honorable the Exalted God established this in Islam.
O Ali! Abdul Muttalib never gambled by raffling with arrows, worshipped idols, or ate what on which the name of other than God was invoked. He used to say, ‘I am the follower of the religion of my (fore)father -Abraham عليه السلام.’”
