Infinite knowledge of unseen?

A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Mu’ammar ibn Khallad who has said that a man from Persia asked abu al-Hassan (as) the following. “Do you know al-Ghayb (the hidden facts)?” The Imam (as) said, “abu Ja‘far (as) has said, ‘It opens to us then we know it and it is withheld from us then we do not know.” The Imam (as) then said, “It is the secret of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, who has secretly given to Jibril and Jibril has secretly given to Muhammad (saw) and Muhammad (saw) has secretly given to whoever Allah wished.”

πŸ“šAl Kafi Shareef V1,P152

Imams(as) knowledge

Imams(as) inherited the Knowledge from The Holy Prophet(saw)


Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from Shu‘ayb al-Haddad from Durays al-Kunasi who has said the following. “I was in the presence of abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) and abu Basir also was there. The Imams (a.s.) said, “David inherited the knowledge of the prophets. Solomon inherited David. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.) inherited Solomon and we inherited Muhammad (s.a.). With us are the pages of Abraham and the tablets of Moses.” Abu Basir then said, “This is the knowledge.” The Imams (a.s.) said, “O abu Muhammad, this is not the knowledge. The knowledge is what happens in the nights and in the days, day after day and hour after hour.”

Imams(as) know whats in the heavens and earth



A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Sinan from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah and a group of our people, among whom were ‘Abd al-A‘la’, abu ‘Ubaydah and ‘Abdallah ibn Bishr al-Khath‘ami, who have said that they heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) say the following. “I certainly know what is the heavens and what is in the earth. I know what is in paradise and what is the fire. I know what was there and what will be there.” The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s.) paused for a while and found that what he had just said was much heavy for the audience then he (a.s.) said, “I learned all of it from the book of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, has said, “In it there is the clarification of all things.”

πŸ“šAl Kafi Shareef V1,P155



Imam Jafar As-Sadiq (as)  said: ‘By Allah ! We know what is in the skies and what is in the earth, and what is in the Paradise and what is in the Fire, and whatever is between that‘

He (the narrator) said, ‘I was amazed. I looked (stared) at him , so He said: ‘O Hammad! That is from the Book of Allah , that is in the Book of Allah  , that is in the Book of Allah !’Then He  recited this Verse: And on the Day We will Send into every community a witness upon them from themselves, and We shall Come with you as a witness upon these (witnesses). And We Revealed the Book unto you as a clarification of all things, and Guidance and Mercy and glad tidings for the submitters [16:89].

Ahmad ibn Idris al-Qummi and Muhammad ibn Yahya have narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufi from Musa ibn Sa‘dan from ‘Abdallah ibn Ayyub from abu Yahya al-San‘ani from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “O abu Yahya, on every Friday night there is a special task for us to pursue.” The narrator has said that he asked the Imams (a.s.), ““May Allah take my soul in service for your cause, of what nature is this special task?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “The spirits of the deceased prophets and the spirits of the deceased executors of the will of the prophets and the spirit of the executor of the will of the Holy Prophet living with you now are all taken to heavens until they arrive to the throne of their Lord and then walk around it seven times. They perform prayers near every column of the columns of the throne, in a two Rak‘at form after which they are returned to their bodies in which they were before. The prophets and the executors of the will of the prophets become full of joy and the executor of the will of the Holy Prophet living with you receives a huge increase in his knowledge.”

Beliefs of Ghulat(la)

Narrations taken from Harf Ash-Shareef popular book among Nusayris and other Ghulat,May Allah(swt) curse them all.


Reincarnation 


Mufaddal asked: "Do they(believers) keep getting higher and higher in station until they become like angels and the need for food and drink and interest in those things is lifted from them and they ascend to the skies and come down to the Earth?"

The Imam replied: "Yes, If God wills it"

Mufaddal asked "Do they appear in the form of an angel or human?"

The Imam replied "They appear in any form they will, and in all parts of the Earth are a large number of them that speak to you and you speak to them and you do not recognize them but they are the ones whom Allah has lifted their chains off of them, and they walk on the Earth in the forms of (different) humans.

They neither need water nor food anymore and they care not for the material world and do not become rich and they show up at different remembrances of Allah and they speak to the people nor do the people deny having spoken to them and if they desire they can take flight to the skies or they stay on Earth, they have whatever they choose.

And one of them may be seen in the East today and at the same time be seen in the West, Allah has given them all these abilities. And so forth does the believer keep becoming higher and higher in rank until he becomes an angel in the sky and they come down to Earth then back up again

πŸ“šHaft Ash-Shareef P50



Mufaddal asked "How does the Disbeliever advance in Disbelief reaching it until he becomes an Oppressive Tyrant Demon?"

Imam Al Sadiq replied "O Mufaddal, every Disbeliever has Seven Human Bodies he is incarnated in and tortured. The first Degree of the Disbeliever is that he is a Disbeliever who has been tested with Disbelief and so his heart boils with the doing of Immoral deeds just as the Believer´s heart boils with the performance of good deeds.

And if he reaches that Degree he will have become a Chieftain in Tyranny.

Then if he reached the Degree of Tyranny he becomes Devoutly Dedicated to Sin and Slander.

Then he becomes faithful in keeping up hs evil and his avoidance of Good Then he becomes a Safe Haven for Tyrants.

Then he becomes a Door.

Then if he is a Door in Disbelief he places every sin in his opinion and calls the people to it and the path of this Disbeliever in Evil is like the path of the Believer in Good.

Every time the Believer is raised in Belief a Door, the Disbeliever is raised in Disobedience a Door, example by example until he ends in the Disbelief. And it is then that he goes to war against Allah and to war against his Chosen and he becomes a Door of the Doors of Disbelief and if he reaches this level, he is over and he becomes a Cursed Satan.

It is then that he is installed/ Reincarnated into an Animal because of the Sins that came from him before and Worries and Grief and Weariness and Pain will all strike him.

And this is done so he may become purified and there is for no one before the likeness of his misery until the Believer knows his Belief fully and the Disbeliever knows his Disbelief fully.

πŸ“šHaft Ash-Shareef P44




Imam Al Sadiq said "Verily the Disbeliever completes in Disbelief and is incarnated into an animal or lowly thing and is punished and is raised Degree by Degree until his Disbelief is complete and he finishes in it. And if he finishes (in Disbelief) he is incarnated and tortured in an animal or lowly thing."

Mufaddal asked "How is he tortured?"

The Imam replied "The first thing in which he is incarnated into is that (animal) which is Halal (permissible) to eat and such is he tortured at the hands of the Preferred of Allah and as such at the hands of the enemies of Allah!

"Have you ever seen a Disbeliever sacrifice a Camel or Sheep or Cow in order to get closer to God?"

Mufaddal said "Yes"

Imam Al Sadiq said "That is their punishment at the hands of the Enemies as for at the hands of the Believers it is what is sacrificed of the Cows and Sheep for food in their Holidays (Eid, Adha etc.) and in offerings to Allah and vows etc."

πŸ“šHaft Ash-Shareef P55



Imam Hussein(as) was Raised to heaven and not martyred


Mufaddal said to Imam Jafar al Sadiq "Tell me about the death of the Imam and his killing and how is that?"

The Imam smiled until his gums showed and then said "You must be talking about Al Hussain and his Slaughter. And the Killing of the Prince of the Believers And the killing of Zachariyah And (the killing of) 'John the Baptist' (Prophet Yahya)" And (the killing of) Jesus"

It is accomplished.

Mufaddal said "That was in my Chest"

The Imam replied "Verily those O Mufaddal are the Purified of Allah and His Preferred Ones and His Goodness. Do you believe He would allow them to taste the Pain of the Pain of the Iron at the hands of their enemies? And it is only in the Apparent (made to seem that way) as a Confirmation of Allah's proof upon them as for them actually being killed or slaughtered. Verily, Allah protects His Preferred Ones and Purified Ones from that and Peace"

πŸ“šHaft Ash-Shareef P91



Mufaddal said "Tell me O Master about the story of Hussein and how his killing and slaughter was made to look so as it was made to look so for those before them with the killing of the Messiah"

Imam Al Sadiq said "O Mufaddal that is a Secret of the Secrets of Allah, He made it seem so for the people and only the special chose of His Preferred Ones and Servants who are Believers and Specialized from His creation know it.

"Verily, the Imam goes into the Bodies willingly and unwillingly and comes out of it if he wants willingly or unwillingly as one rips off his Shirt without trouble nor doubt. So when they gathered on Hussein to Slaughter him, he left his Body and Allah raised him unto Himself and prevented the enemies from him.

πŸ“šHarf Ash-Shareef P96


Divinity of Imams(as)


....It was then that our Master Hussein called out to Gabriel and said to him 'My brother, who am I?"

Gabriel said 'You are Allah that there is no God but Him, the Living, the Everlasting, the One who gives Death and Life. You are the One who Commands the Sky and it obeys You and the Earth and it ends to Your Command and the Mountains, they respond to You and the Seas rush Your obedience. You are He who no Plot nor Harm reaches"

πŸ“šHaft Ash-Shareef P97



 

Ghulat(The exaggerators)

Sadir Ibn Hakim reported that he said to Imam As-Sadiq (a.): “There are people, they claim about you that you are gods and they read us this Quran verse: {It is He who is God in heaven and is God on earth (43:84)}.” He said: “O Sadir, my hearing, my sight, my skin, my flesh, my blood; renounces these people and Allah(swt) renounces them. These people are not on my religion nor on the religion of my fathers. By Allah , Allah will not gather me with them on the Day of Resurrection except that He is angry with them.” I then said: “And we have people claiming about you that you are messengers and they read this Quranic verse to us: {O you messengers, eat of the good things and act righteously, for I know about what you do. (23:51)}.” He said: “O Sadir, my hearing, my sight, my skin, my flesh, my blood; renounces these people and Allah and His Messenger (s.) renounces them. These people are not on my religion nor on the religion of my fathers. By Allah,  Allah will not gather me with them on the Day of Resurrection except that He is angry with them.” I said: “What are you then?” He said: “We are the keepers of the knowledge of Allah, we are the translators of the command Allah, we are people who are infallible. Allah commanded obedience to us and forbade disobedience to us. We are the convincing proof over under the sky and over the earth.” 

πŸ“šAl-Kafi Shareef V1, P195



Imam Jafar As-Sadiq(as) said: 

May Allah curse the one who claims for us what we do not claim for our own selves!

May Allah curse the one who excludes us from servitude to Allah who created us and to Him is our return and destination and in His hands are our forelocks (in submission)

πŸ“šRijal Al Kashi P194


Imam Jafar As-Sadiq(as) said about the Ghulat: Do not sit with them, do not eat with them, do not drink with them, do not shake their hands, and do not give them anything in inheritance.

πŸ“šRijal Al-Kashi P249





Ali bin Ibrahim, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abi Umair, on the authority of Hisham bin Salim that Imam Jafar As-Sadiq( as) said: A group came to Ameer Al-Mu’mineen(as) and they said: “Peace be upon you, O our Lord (besides Allah)! So he asked for their repentance, but they did not repent. So he dug a ditch for them and lit a fire in it and dug a ditch to its other side and conveyed between them. So when they did not repent he threw them in the ditch and lit in the other ditch until they died.

Nawasib, who are they and what are the rulings concerning them

Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufi from al-‘ Abbas ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mu’ammar from Khalid al-Qalanisi who has said the following: Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (as) What should I do if I meet a tax paying non-Muslim and he shakes my hand?’ The Imam said, ‘Wipe it with soil or against a wall.’ I asked, ‘What about a nasibi? The Imam said: Wash it (your hand).”’

πŸ“šAl Kafi Shareef V2,P360



Ahmad ibn Idris has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ayyub ibn Nuh from al-Washsha’ from those whom he has mentioned who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, did not like the leftover of a person born out of wedlock, Jews, Christians and pagans and whoever opposed Islam 
and most serious to him was the leftover of a Nasibi.

πŸ“šAl Kafi Shareef V3,P10


Sheikh Yusuf Al Bahraini (ra) writes:

Where is the difference between disbelief in God and His messengers (s.) and disbelief in the Imams (a.), although it has been proven with certainty by the verses of the Qur’an and clear reports that the office of the Imam is one of the principles of faith (Usul-ud-Din)?” 

πŸ“šAl-Hada’iq-un-Nadirah V18, P153


We have already clarified the disbelief of the opponents (Mukhalif) who are not among those who are considered weak and that they are enemies (nawasib) and idolaters according to the numerous reports, which are obvious without any disagreement and that they cannot be called Muslims unless one would also call the departed ones (khawarij) and their like-minded ones, who attribute themselves to Islam, that way.” 

πŸ“šAl-Hada’iq-un-Nadirah V18 ,P148


It has already been narrated in our reports that those considered weak from among the opponents (Mukhalif) are among those, for whom one can hope that they will enter paradise, even if the verses of the Qur’an obviously prove that they are among those whose affairs are left to God, but according to the outward appearance of a lot of tradition, the end of their affairs will be in paradise.” 

πŸ“šAl-Hada’iq-un-Nadirah V1, P86


Those who are considered as weak are those who form the majority of the people to this day, as can be seen from the reports, and as we have already mentioned, this refers to those who neither recognize nor oppose.” 

πŸ“šAl-Hada’iq-un-Nadirah V10, P446






Sulaim Ibn Qais reported that he asked Imam Ali (a.): “O Commander of the Believers, have you seen him who stopped and did not emulate you and did not take you as enemies and did not set up (Nasib) enmity towards you and was not a fanatic and did not come into your proximity (Wilayah) and did not distance himself (Bara’ah) from your enemies and said: “I do not know.” While he was sincere?” He said: “These do not belong to the 73 groups. By the 73 groups, the Messenger (s.) meant only the rebellious and the ones who set up (Nasib) enmity, who publicly displayed themselves and called for their religion. One group of them follows the religion of the Most Merciful and the other 72 follow the religion of Satan and are close to the one who accepted them and renounce the one who opposed them.” 

πŸ“šKitab Sulaim, P170




Ishaq Ibn Ammar reported that Imam As-Sadiq (a.) said: “The property of the enemy (Nasibi) and all his possessions are allowed to you, except his wife, because the union (Nikah) of the associates (Mushrik) is valid and for this reason the messenger of God (s.) said: “Do not revile the associates (Mushrik), because all people have an union (Nikah)”. If I were not afraid that a man of yours might be killed by a man of them, one of you being better than thousands of their men, I would order you to kill them, but this is the matter of the Imam.” 

πŸ“šAl-Hada’iq-un-Nadirah V18 P155 – 156




Abu Basir reported that Imam As-Sadiq (a.) said:“O Abu Muhammad, it seems to me as if I see the Riser (Qa’im) in the prayer house of Sahlah staying with his people and relatives.” I said: “Is it his abode, my life be sacrificed to you? He said: “Yes, there was also the abode of Enoch and Abraham, the confidant of the Most Merciful (a.) and God sent no prophet except that he prayed there in. In it was the abode of Al-Khidr, and he who dwells therein is like him who dwells in the tent of the Messenger, and there is neither a believing man nor a believing woman, except that their hearts longs for it. I said: “My life be sacrificed to you, does the Riser (Qa’im) always dwell therein? He said: “Yes.” I said: “But who after him?” He said: “It is the same after him until the end of the creation.” I said: “What happens to those who are under his protection? He said: “He makes peace with them just as the Messenger made peace with them, and they pay the tribute (Jizyah) in a meek manner. I said: “Even if one is a shower (Nasib) of animosity towards you? He said: “No, O Abu Muhammad! the one who departed from us has no part in turning (Dawlah) in favour to us. God allowed us to shed their blood with Rising of our Rising one (Qa’im), but today this is forbidden (haram) to both to us and you, so do not be decieved by anyone. When our Rising one (Qa’im) rises up, he avenges for God and His Messenger (s.) and for all of us.”
