Is Kamil Az-Ziyarat reliable?

Sahib Kamil Az-Ziyarat writes:

We acknowledge that we cannot encompass everything which has been narrated from them about this topic (ziyarah) or about any other topic (for that matter).  Furthermore, I have only narrated that which was reported to me by the trustworthy ones from among our companions – may Allah’s Mercy be upon them – and I did not include anything which has been reported by unknown or unreliable sources who are not well-known for their knowledge and narrations.

📚Kamil Az-Ziyarat P19-20

Sahib Al-Wasail writes:

“And also Ja’far bin Muhammad bin Qulawayh has testified that the narrators of Kamil al-Ziyarat are reliable and trustworthy. His explicit statement in the beginning of Kamil al-Ziyarat is more expressive and frank than Ali bin Ibrahim’s (about authenticity of his book.”

Al Khoei declares cursing and insulting of Omaris as Wajib

Al Khoei writes:

What is meant by “believer” here is the one who believes in Allah and his messenger and the last day and the twelve Imams (as), starting with `Ali bin abi Talib (as) and ending with al-Qa’em al-Hujjah, the awaited one may Allah hasten his appearance and make us among his supporters, and he who denies one of them then it is allowed to backbite him for several reasons: 1- It has been proven in the narrations and Ziyarat and supplications that it is permissible to curse the ones who oppose us, and that it is obligatory to disown them, and increase their insults, and accuse them, and slander them, meaning to backbite them because they are from the people of innovation and doubt. There is no doubt about their Kufr, because denying al-Wilayah and the Imams (as) even if just one, and to believe in the Khilafah of others, and to believe in myths such as al-Jabr and other beliefs necessities Kufr and Zandaqah, as mentioned in the Mutawatir narrations that clearly demonstrate the Kufr of the rejector of al-Wilayah, and the Kufr of the one who believes in the mentioned beliefs and similar other misguided beliefs.

Teacher of Taqi Majlisi(rh) does an open takfir on Aisha

Shaikh Muhammad Tahir Al Qumi ash-Shirazi(rh) writes:

What has been reported on the shortcomings of the enemies of Ahlulbayt (as) that evidences upon the Imamah of our twelve Imams (as) is that Aisha is a kafirah deserving of hellfire. It is a necessity of the reality of our religion and the reality of our twelve Imams (as), because all those who profess by the caliphate of the three (Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman) believes that she was a believer and honors and respects her, while all those who profess by Imamate of the twelve Imams (a.s) profess by her being deserving of la’nah and Allah (swt)’s punishment. So when her being like that is established, the point is proven, because no one claims a separation (of Aisha from the issue).

As for the evidence of her being deserving of la’nah and Allah (swt)’s punishment, so indeed she waged war against Imam Ali (as) and there are mutawatir ahadith from the Prophet (saw) said “one who wars against you (i.e. Imam Ali) wars against me.”, and there is no doubt warring against the Prophet (saw) is kufr.

All of Earth belongs to The Imams(as)

From ‘Umar ibn Yazid who has said the following. “I saw Masma‘ in Madina. In that year he had tried to deliver a certain amount of property to abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) that he returned to him. I asked him about the reason for the return. The narrator has said that he said to me, “When I took the property to him I said, ‘ I had become in charge of the pearls in Bahrayn and I have made four hundred thousand Dirham profit. I have brought eighty thousand Dinar as your share. I did not like to keep your share and disregard what Allah(swt) has decreed to be for you in our properties.” Is there no more from earth and what Allah takes out of it besides one fifth for us, O abu Sayyar?” The whole earth belongs to us. Whatever Allah causes to come out therefrom it belongs to us.” I then said, “I will bring all the property to you.” He said, “O abu Sayyar, we have made it a gift for you and made it lawful for you. Take your property with you. Whatever land is in the hands of our Shi‘a it is lawful for them until Al-Qa’im will rise with Divine Authority. He will make an agreement with them about whatever land is in their hands and will give them permission to use. Whatever land is in the hands of others their earning from it is not lawful until Al-Qa’im will rise with Divine Authority. He will take such lands away from them and will humiliate them 

‘Umar ibn Yazid has said, “Abu Sayyar said to me, ‘ I do not find anyone doing business or those in charge of certain tasks who would earn their living lawfully except my self and those for whom they have made it lawful.”

From abu Basir who has said the following. “Once I asked abu ‘Abdallah (as), ‘Is there any Zakat on Imam?’” He said, “O abu Muhammad, you have spoken an impossible word. Do you not know that both this and the next world belong to the Imam? He can place them as he may want or give them to whoever he may want. It is permissible for him from Allah. The Imam said, O abu Muhammad, the Imam never spends a night without Allah‘s right on him for which He would not ask him.”

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abdallah ibn Ahmad from Ali ibn al-Ni‘man from Salih ibn Hamza from Aban ibn Mus‘ab from Yunus ibn Zabyan or al-Mu‘alla ibn al-Khnith who has said the following. “I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.), ‘What is for you from this earth?” He smiled and then said, “Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, sent Jibril and commanded him to dig with his toe eight rivers on earth. Of these are the River Sayhan and Jayhan which is the River in Balkh (central Asia) the River al-Khshu‘ which is the River al-Shash, river Mihran which is India, River Nile in Egypt, Tigris and Euphrates. All that these rivers provide water or all that take water from them belong to us and whatever is for us is for our Shi‘a. There is nothing for our enemies except what they have usurped. Our friends and supporters in an place bigger than this and this, the sky and earth. The Imam (a.s.) then recited the words of Allah. “They are made for the believers in this world (but others have usurped it from them) and are exclusively for them in the life hereafter (no one would usurp from them).” (7:32)

Salman Farsi(as) his knowledge and status

Jabir ibn Abdillah reported that Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: “Every nation has an enlightened one and the enlightened one of this nation is Salman.” So they said to him: “O Messenger of God. what is meant by an enlightened one?” Then he said: “He tells us about what is hidden from the people. Of that which they need.” One said to him: “How so, O Messenger of God?” He said: “Because he is knowledgeable about my knowledge of me, what is in his heart. Of the knowledge of what was and what will be.” 

📚Al-Hidayat-ul-Kubra P544-545

Mas’adah Ibn Sadaqah reported that Imam As-Sadiq (as) said: “One day, the caution (Taqiyyah) was mentioned to Ali Zain-ul-Abidin (as), whereupon he said: “By God, if Abu Dharr had known what Salman carries in his heart, he would have killed him and the Prophet Muhammad (saw) brothered them together. So what do you expect from the other creatures? The knowledge of the knowledgeable is difficult to comprehend. No one can bear it except a sent prophet or a close angel or a faithful servant whose heart is tested by God for faith. Salman became one of these knowledgeable ones, for he is a man who belongs to us the people of the house. Therefore, i have counted him among the knowledgeable.”

 From Abu Basir from Abu Ja`far(as) .  He said:

Al-Muhajirin and al-Ansar, and others after that, came to Ali(as) .  So they said to him: You, by Allah, are Amir al-Muminin and you, by Allah, are the most rightful of the people and the closest to the Prophet(saw). Give us your hand that we might pledge allegiance to you, for by Allah we will certainly die in front of you. So Ali(as) said: If you are truthful, then come to me in the morning with shaven (heads). And none but these three(Abu Dhar, Salman and Miqdad) shaved.

Isa Ibn Hamzah reported that he asked Imam As-Sadiq (as) : “What of the tradition about the four?” He said: “Which one is it?” I said: “The four for whom the Paradise has longed for.” He said: “Yes, to them belongs Salman, Abu Dharr, Al-Miqdad and Ammar.” I said: “Who is the best of them?” He said: “Salman.” Then he kept silent for a while, saying: “Salman acquired such knowledge that Abu Dharr would have disbelieved if he had known.”

From Yaqoob bin Shuaib from Abi Abdullah (as) that he said:

“Between Isa (as) and Muhammad (saw) there was a gap of five hundred years out of which for two hundred and fifty years there was neither a prophet nor any learned one from Allah who was apparent. I (the narrator) asked: What did the people follow? The Imam replied: They followed the religion of Isa (as) . I asked: What was their actual condition? He replied: They were believers. Then he said: The earth never remains devoid of a learned one.” Among those who roamed in the lands in search of divine proof was Salman Farsi (as). He continued to move from one  learned to another and moved from one jurisprudent to another and remained in the pursuit of divine secrets. He gained guidance through narrations. He awaited for the Qaim, the Qaim and the chief of the formers and the latters, Muhammad (saw) for four hundred years till he received the glad tidings of his birth. When he became certain of deliverance he set out for Tahama and he was taken a captive there.

Death without an Imam

From al-al-Fudayl ibn Yasar who has said the following. “ One day abu ‘Abdallah (as) spoke to us and said, ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, “Whoever would die and is not under the (guardianship) of the Imam his death would be like a death in ignorance.” The narrator has said that I asked, “Is that what the Messenger of Allah has said?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Yes, by Allah, he has said so.” I then said, “Do all who die without acknowledging the Imam die as if died in ignorance (without religion)?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Yes, that is right.”

From ibn abu Ya‘fur who has said the following. “I asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words the Messenger of Allah. ““Whoever would die and is not under the (guardianship) of the Imam his death would be like a death in ignorance.” The narrator has said I then asked, “Is it death in disbelief (in religion)?” He said, “It is death in error .” I then said, “Thus, whoever would die today and would not have an Imam would his death be considered as if he has died in ignorance (without religion)?” He said, “Yes, that is true.”

From al-Harith ibn al-Mughira who has said the following. “I said to abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) , ‘the Messenger of Allah has said, “Whoever would die without knowing who his Imam is he would die as if has died in ignorance (of religion).” The Imam (a.s.) said, “That is true.” I then said, “Is it the ignorance of uneducated people or ignorance of ones not knowing his Imam?” The Imam (a.s.) said, “It means the ignorance that is disbelief, hypocrisy and error?”

From al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following. “Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever would follow the religion of Allah without hearing (instructions) from a truthful (Imam) person Allah will cause him, inevitably, to suffer hardships. Whoever would claim to have heard from a source other than the one Allah has opened for him, he will be considered as polytheist. The source and door that Allah has opened is the one that trustworthy in the matters of the hidden secrets of Allah.”

Sheikh Al Majlisi writes:

Sheikh At-Tusi said: "Whoever fights commander of faithful(as) becomes a disbeliever, as it was established by agreed opinion of group (i.m shias). Because whoever fought him, he rejected his Imamah, and fought (against) it. And fighting (against) the Imamah is disbelief, like fighting (against) the prophethood is disbelief. Ignorance in them is same same. And his saying: Whoever dies without knowing Imam of his time, dies with death of ignorance. And death of ignorance couldn't happen except if on disbelief.”

📚Bihar Al Anwar V32,P321

The Holy Prophet said: Whoever dies without an Imam dies a Pagan death. And whoever pulls their away from obedience He comes on the day of judgement without any argument.

,,Abdullah ibn Umar came to Abdullah ibn Mutii during the battle of Harra during the reign of Yazid ibn Muawiya. Abdullah ibn Mutii said:Please sit down. Ibn Omar replied: i didnt come here to sit down i have come here to warn you of a hadith i heard from The Messanger of Allah:Whoever defies the caliph he will have no excuse in front of Allah and any such person if they die without the pledge of allegiance they die as pagans.”

📚,,Sahih” Muslim P942

Hafidh ibn Hajar writes:

,,The death of Ignorance is the death of the people of Jahilyyah who were astray because they didnt have a leader. And it doesn’t necessarily mean that such a person dies as a Kafir rather he dies as a sinner.

The second possibility is that a person dies exactly like the pagans from pre islamic period did and thats the apparent meaning which has a proof in another hadith where The Holy Prophet(saw) said: A person who goes astray from obedience to The Imam by one foot throws away the rope of Islam from his neck.”
