الْقُبُورِ،وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَنٰاجِرِ كٰاظِمِينَ [1]وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ لاَ تُقَالُ فِيهِ عَثْرَةٌ،وَ لاَ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ فِدْيَةٌ،وَ لاَ تُقْبَلُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مَعْذِرَةٌ،وَ لاَ لِأَحَدٍ فِيهِ مُسْتَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةٍ،لَيْسَ إِلاَّ الْجَزَاءُ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ،وَ الْجَزَاءُ بِالسَّيِّئَاتِ.

فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَمِلَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَجَدَهُ،وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَمِلَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ شَرٍّ وَجَدَهُ».

English: The graves; and that is the Day of the Approaching (al-Āzifāh), when the hearts will be at the throats, suppressed [1]. And that is a Day in which no slip will be set right, no ransom will be taken from anyone, no excuse will be accepted from anyone, and no one will have any future chance for repentance; there will be nothing but recompense for good deeds and recompense for evil deeds. So whoever among the believers has done in this world the weight of an atom of good will find it, and whoever among the believers has done in this world the weight of an atom of evil will find it.

قوله تعالى:

قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَ اللّٰهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ[31]

Qur’an 3:31 (M. H. Shakir): Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

99-/1649 _1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ:بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ،عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ:«قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ): قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ: مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطٰاعَ اللّٰهَ وَ مَنْ تَوَلّٰى فَمٰا أَرْسَلْنٰاكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً [2]فَقَرَنَ طَاعَتَهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ،وَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ،فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ دَلِيلاً عَلَى مَا فَوَّضَ إِلَيْهِ،وَ شَاهِداً لَهُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ عَصَاهُ،وَ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْعَظِيمِ،فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي التَّحْرِيضِ عَلَى اتِّبَاعِهِ، وَ التَّرْغِيبِ فِي تَصْدِيقِهِ،وَ الْقَبُولِ لِدَعْوَتِهِ: قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ فَاتِّبَاعُهُ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)مَحَبَّةُ اللَّهِ،وَ رِضَاهُ غُفْرَانُ الذُّنُوبِ،وَ كَمَالُ الْفَوْزِ،وَ وُجُوبُ الْجَنَّةِ،وَ فِي التَّوَلِّي عَنْهُ وَ الْإِعْرَاضِ مُحَادَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ غَضَبُهُ وَ سَخَطُهُ،وَ الْبُعْدُ مِنْهُ مُسَكِّنُ النَّارِ،وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ: وَ مَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَحْزٰابِ فَالنّٰارُ مَوْعِدُهُ [3]يَعْنِي الْجُحُودَ بِهِ وَ الْعِصْيَانَ لَهُ».

99-/1649 English: Muhammad b. Ya‘qub, with his chain from Jabir b. Yazid, from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), said: “The Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) said: Allah said in His decisive Book: Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them [Qur’an 4:80; Shakir]. Thus He coupled obedience to him with obedience to Himself, and disobedience to him with disobedience to Himself. That was evidence of what He delegated to him, and a testimony for him against whoever followed him and disobeyed him. He explained that in more than one place in the Mighty Book, so He—blessed and exalted—said, urging the following of him, encouraging belief in him, and accepting his summons: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir]. Following him (may Allah bless him and his family) is the love of Allah and His good pleasure, the forgiveness of sins, the perfection of success, and the obligation of Paradise; and in turning away from him and shunning him there is opposition to Allah, His anger and wrath, and remoteness from Him, which is the abode of the Fire. And that is His saying: And whoever of the parties disbelieves in him, the Fire is his promised place [Qur’an 11:17; Shakir], meaning denial of him and disobedience to him.”

99-/1650 _2- عَنْهُ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ،عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْمُؤَذِّنِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ).وَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ،عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فِي صَحِيفَةٍ أَخْرَجَهَا لِأَصْحَابِهِ: «وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً شَرَحَ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلاَمِ،فَإِذَا أَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ نَطَقَ لِسَانُهُ بِالْحَقِّ،وَ عَقَدَ قَلْبُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَمِلَ بِهِ،فَإِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ تَمَّ لَهُ إِسْلاَمُهُ،وَ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْحَالِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَقّاً.

وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً وَكَلَهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ،وَ كَانَ صَدْرُهُ ضَيِّقاً حَرَجاً،فَإِنْ جَرَى عَلَى لِسَانِهِ حَقٌّ لَمْ يَعْقِدْ قَلْبُهُ

99-/1650 English: From him, he said: ‘Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to me, from his father, from Ibn Faddal, from Hafs the mu’adhdhin, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him); and from Muhammad b. Isma‘il b. Bazi‘, from Muhammad b. Sinan, from Isma‘il b. Jabir, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), in a written scroll which he brought out for his companions: “Know that when Allah intends good for a servant, He expands his breast for Islam. When He grants him that, his tongue speaks the truth, his heart binds itself to it, and he acts upon it. When Allah gathers all that for him, his Islam is complete for him, and if he dies in that state, he is truly among the Muslims in Allah’s sight.

And when Allah does not intend good for a servant, He leaves him to himself, and his breast is tight and constricted. If a truth flows upon his tongue, his heart does not bind itself to it, and if his heart does not bind itself to it, Allah does not grant him to act upon it. If all that gathers upon him until he dies in that state, then in Allah’s sight he is among the hypocrites. What has flowed upon his tongue of truth, which Allah did not grant him that his heart bind itself to nor to act upon, becomes a proof against him on the Day of Resurrection.

So be mindful of Allah, and ask Him to expand your breasts for Islam, and to make your tongues speak the truth until He takes your souls while you are upon that, and to make your return the return of the righteous before you. There is no power except with Allah; and praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

Whoever is gladdened to know that Allah loves him, let him act in obedience to Allah and follow us. Has he not heard the saying of Allah, Mighty and Majestic, to His Prophet: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults? [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir] By Allah, no servant ever obeys Allah except that Allah causes him, in his obedience, to follow us; and by Allah, no servant ever follows us except that Allah loves him; and by Allah, no one ever abandons following us except that he detests us; and by Allah, no one ever detests us except that he disobeys Allah. Whoever dies disobeying Allah, Allah will disgrace him and cast him on his face in the Fire. And praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”»

Ghiyath, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “I indeed hope for salvation for whoever recognizes our right from this community, except for one of three: the companion of a tyrannical ruler, the follower of caprice, and the openly immoral.” Then he recited: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].

Abi Nasr, from Safwan the cameleer, from Abu ‘Ubaydah Ziyad al-Hadhdha’, from Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him), in a narration of his. He (peace be upon him) said: “O Ziyad, woe to you! Is religion anything but love? Do you not see the saying of Allah: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].”

99-/1653 English: Ibn Babawayh: from his father, from ‘Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Muhammad b. Humran, from Sa‘id b. Yasar, who said: Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) said to me: “Is religion anything but love? Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].”

99-/1654 _6- عَنْهُ:عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي حُمْرَانُ،عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)يَقُولُ: «مَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ عَصَاهُ»ثُمَّ تَمَثَّلَ فَقَالَ:

«تَعْصِي الْإِلَهَ وَ أَنْتَ تُظْهِرُ حُبَّهُ

هَذَا مَحَالٌ فِي الْفَعَالِ بَدِيعُ!

لَوْ كَانَ حُبُّكَ صَادِقاً لَأَطَعْتَهُ

إِنَّ الْمُحِبَّ لِمَنْ يُحِبُّ مُطِيعُ»

99-/1654 English: From him: from Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil, who said: ‘Ali b. Ibrahim b. Hashim narrated to us, from his father, from Muhammad b. Abi ‘Umayr, who said: Humran narrated to me, from someone who heard Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him) say: “He does not love Allah, Mighty and Majestic, who disobeys Him.” Then he cited:

“You disobey the Lord while showing His love—

This is impossible, wondrous in deed!

If your love were true, you would obey Him;

For the lover is obedient to the one he loves.”

99-/1655 _7- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ:عَنْ زِيَادٍ،عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ،قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)،فَقُلْتُ:بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي،رُبَّمَا خَلاَ بِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَخَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي،ثُمَّ ذَكَرْتُ حُبِّي إِيَّاكُمْ،وَ انْقِطَاعِي إِلَيْكُمْ فَطَابَتْ نَفْسِي، فَقَالَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«يَا زِيَادُ،وَيْحَكَ،وَ مَا الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْحُبُّ،أَ لاَ تَرَى إِلَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ ».

99-/1655 English: Al-‘Ayyashi: from Ziyad, from Abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’, who said: I entered upon Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) and said: “May I be ransomed for you—sometimes Satan is alone with me and my soul becomes foul; then I remember my love for you and my devotion to you, and my soul becomes good.” He (peace be upon him) said: “O Ziyad, woe to you! What is religion but love? Do you not see the saying of Allah, Most High: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].”

99-/1656 _8- عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الدَّهَّانِ،عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)قَالَ: «قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ فِي مُنْكِرِينَ كَثِيراً،وَ أَحْبَبْتُمْ فِي مُبْغِضِينَ كَثِيراً،وَ قَدْ يَكُونُ حُبّاً لِلَّهِ فِي اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ،وَ حُبّاً فِي الدُّنْيَا،فَمَا كَانَ فِي اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ فَثَوَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَلَيْسَ فِي شَيْءٍ»ثُمَّ نَفَضَ يَدَهُ،ثُمَّ قَالَ:«إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمُرْجِئَةَ،وَ هَذِهِ الْقَدَرِيَّةَ،وَ هَذِهِ الْخَوَارِجَ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ يَرَى أَنَّهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ،وَ إِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا فِي اللَّهِ».ثُمَّ تَلاَ: أَطِيعُوا اللّٰهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ [1]، وَ مٰا آتٰاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ مٰا نَهٰاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا [2]وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطٰاعَ اللّٰهَ [3]، إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ ».

99-/1656 English: From Bishir al-Dahhan, from Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him), who said: “You have recognized (others) among many deniers, and you have loved (others) among many who hate (us). Love can be for Allah—(that is) in Allah and His Messenger—and love can be for the world. Whatever is for Allah and His Messenger, its reward is upon Allah Most High; and whatever is for the world is nothing”—then he shook his hand—then said: “As for these Murji’ah, these Qadariyyah, and these Khawarij, there is not one among them but thinks he is upon the truth; and indeed you have only loved us for Allah.” Then he recited: Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you [Qur’an 4:59; Shakir]; and Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back [Qur’an 59:7; Shakir]; Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah [Qur’an 4:80; Shakir]; If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].

99-/1657 _9- عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْعِجْلِيِّ،قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَادِمٌ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ مَاشِياً،فَأَخْرَجَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ تَغَلَّفَتَا،وَ قَالَ:أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا جَاءَ بِي مِنْ حَيْثُ جِئْتُ إِلاَّ حُبُّكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ.

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَحَبَّنَا حَجَرٌ حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ مَعَنَا،وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْحُبُّ،إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ: قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ قَالَ: يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هٰاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ [4]وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْحُبُّ».

99-/1657 English: From Burayd b. Mu‘awiyah al-‘Ijli, who said: I was with Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) when there entered upon him a man arriving from Khurasan on foot. He brought out his feet, which had become bandaged, and said: “By Allah, nothing brought me from where I came but love for you, O People of the House.” Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said: “By Allah, if a stone were to love us, Allah would raise it with us. Is religion anything but love? Allah says: Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir]; and He said: They love those who have fled to them [Qur’an 59:9; Shakir]. Is religion anything but love?”

99-/1658 _10- عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،قَالَ: قِيلَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ،إِنَّا نُسَمِّي بِأَسْمَائِكُمْ وَ أَسْمَاءِ آبَائِكُمْ،فَيَنْفَعُنَا ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ:«إِي وَ اللَّهِ،وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلاَّ الْحُبُّ،قَالَ اللَّهُ: إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللّٰهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللّٰهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ ».

99-/1658 English: From Rib‘i b. ‘Abdillah, who said: It was said to Abu ‘Abdillah (peace be upon him): “May I be ransomed for you—indeed we name (our children) by your names and the names of your fathers; does that benefit us?” He said: “Yes, by Allah. Is religion anything but love? Allah said: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults [Qur’an 3:31; Shakir].”

قوله تعالى:

إِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفىٰ آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْرٰاهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرٰانَ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ* ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُهٰا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ[33-34]

Qur’an 3:33-34 (M. H. Shakir): Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations. Offspring, one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.

99-/1659 _1- الشَّيْخُ فِي(أَمَالِيهِ):عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَحَّامِ،قَالَ:حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى،عَنْ هَارُونَ،قَالَ:

99-/1659 English: The Shaykh in his Amali: from Abu Muhammad al-Fahham, who said: Muhammad b. ‘Isa narrated to me, from Harun, who said: Abu ‘Abd al-Samad Ibrahim narrated to me, from his father, from his grandfather—who is Ibrahim b. ‘Abd al-Samad b. Muhammad b. Ibrahim—who said: I heard Ja‘far b. Muhammad (peace be upon them) recite: Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of ‘Imran—and the descendants of Muhammad—above the nations. He said: “Thus it was revealed.”

99-/1662 _4- ابْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ:قَالَ:حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ شَاذَوَيْهِ الْمُؤَدِّبُ،وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْرُورٍ(رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا)،قَالاَ:حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ،عَنْ أَبِيهِ،عَنِ الرَّيَّانِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ،قَالَ: حَضَرَ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)مَجْلِسَ الْمَأْمُونِ،وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ وَ خُرَاسَانَ،وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فِيهِ:قَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ:هَلْ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْعِتْرَةَ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَبَانَ فَضْلَ الْعِتْرَةِ عَلَى سَائِرِ النَّاسِ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ».

فَقَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ:وَ أَيْنَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرِّضَا(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ):«فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: إِنَّ اللّٰهَ اصْطَفىٰ آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْرٰاهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرٰانَ عَلَى الْعٰالَمِينَ* ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُهٰا مِنْ بَعْضٍ -قَالَ-:يَعْنِي إِنَّ الْعِتْرَةَ دَاخِلُونَ فِي آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ،لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ) مِنْ وُلْدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ(عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ)»،وَ هُوَ دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى مَا تَقَدَّمَ الْحَدِيثُ فِيهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ)،وَ عِتْرَتُهُ مِنْهُ(صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ).

Ja‘far al-Himyari narrated to us, from his father, from al-Rayyan b. al-Salt, who said: Al-Rida (peace be upon him) attended al-Ma’mun’s assembly, and a group from the people of Iraq and Khurasan had gathered to him in his session. He mentioned the narration until he said in it: Al-Ma’mun said: “Has Allah given the ‘Itrah preference over the rest of the community?” Abu al-Hasan (peace be upon him) said: “Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has made clear the excellence of the ‘Itrah over the rest of mankind in His decisive Book.” Al-Ma’mun said: “And where is that in the Book of Allah?” Al-Rida (peace be upon him) said to him: “In His saying, Mighty and Majestic: Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of ‘Imran above the nations; offspring, one of the other [Qur’an 3:33-34; Shakir].” He said: “It means that the ‘Itrah are included among the descendants of Ibrahim, because the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family) is from the progeny of Ibrahim (peace be upon him),” and he is the answer to Ibrahim’s supplication, as the hadith has passed regarding that from the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and his family), and his ‘Itrah are from him (may Allah bless him and his family).
