Ali Bin Hamad Bin Muhammad narrated, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Ali Bin Muhammad, byhis chain, raising it, said,

‘A Jew came to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, so he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I wantto ask you about things, if youasws were to inform me of it, I will profess to Al-Islam’. Aliasws said: ‘Ask measws, O Jew, about whatever comes to you, for you will not come

across anyone more knowledgeable of it than the Peopleasws of the Household’.

The Jew said to him, ‘Inform me about base of this earth, upon what is it, and aboutthe resembling of the child to its paternal uncles and its maternal uncles, and aboutfrom which seeds do the hair, and the blood, and the flesh, and the bones, and thenerves come about, and why is the sky named as sky, and why is the world namedas world, and why is the Hereafter named as Hereafter, and why is Adam as namedas Adamas, and why is Hawwaas named as Hawwa, and why is the Dirham named asDirham, and why is the Dinaar named as Dinaar, and why is it said to the horse,‘Ajad’, and why is it said to the mule, ‘Ad’, and why is it said to the donkey, ‘Hurr’?’

وذك ا ن رة وت ر زرة ر و د وا ر ر ن أو ن رب ار واء ت و ر واراه ذا ت ات رت ارة وإذا ت ت رك اس ذك ووا ر

But rather, it is said to the donkey, ‘Hurr’, because the first one to ride the donkeywas Hawwaas, and that is because sheas had a donkey, and sheas used to ride it forvisitation of the grave of her as sonas Habeelas. Sheas used to say in her as journey,‘Wahara’a’. So whenever sheas said it, the donkey travelled, and when sheas wassilent, it stopped. So the people neglected that and have been saying ‘Hurr’.

دار وا ادر درا درام ن وم ط أور ار رد مردا اوار ن وم ط ور ار.

But rather, the Dirham has been named as a Dirham, because it is an important

house, the one who gathers it and does not spend it in obedience to Allahazwj wouldinherit the Fire, and the Dinaar has been named as Dinaar, because it is a house ofthe Fire, the one who gathers it and does not spend it in the obedience to Allah azwj,so he would inherit the Fire’.

So the Jew said, ‘Youasws have spoken the truth, O Amir Al-Momineenasws. We findthe entirety of what youasws have described, to be in the Torah’. He, thus professed to Al-Islam upon hisasws hands, and necessitated it (to be with himasws) until he waskilled on the day of (the battle of) Siffeen (fighting alongside Amir Al-Momineenasws)’.1

SoQabeella said to himla, ‘Ila will not worship the fire which Habeel la used to worship, butIla shall worship another fire, and offer a sacrifice for it, so it would accept my la sacrifice’. Therefore, hela built houses for fire worship (offerings). So there did not

My father said, ‘Sa’ad Bin Abdullah narrated to us, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Ibn Isa, fromMuhammad Bin Khalid Al barqy, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Ibn Abdullah Al Sajastany,

(It has been narrated) from Ja’far asws Bin Muhammadasws regarding the Words of

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [71:23] And they have said (to each other),'Abandon no t your g ods: A bandon neither Wadd nor Suwa' , neither Yaguth nor

Ya'uq, nor Nasr . The Imamasws said: ‘They (the mentioned) used to be worshipping Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. They died. It was grievous upon their people, soIbleesla came to them and said to them, ‘Take idols for yourselves upon their images,so that you can look towards them, and be cordial with them and you can (still) beworshipping Allahazwj’.

So hela prepared idols for them upon their resemblances. So they used to beworshipping Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and were looking towards those idols. Sowhen the winter came upon them, and the rains, they entered the idols into theirhouses. So they did not stop worshipping Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic until thatgeneration died off, and their children grew up. So they (new generation) said, ‘Ourfathers used to worship these, therefore worship them besides Allahazwj Mighty andMajestic’. So these are the Words of Allahazwj Blessed and High [71:23] Abandonneither Wadd no r Suwa – the Verse’.3

May my father and my mother be sacrificed for youasws, what is therecognition of Allahazwj?’ The Imamasws said: ‘Recognition by the people of every era,of their Imamasws whose obedience has been Obligated upon them’.12

Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Talaqany narrated to us, from Abdul Aziz Bin Yahya Al Jaloudy,from Muhammad Bin Zakariyya Al Jowhary, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Amara, from his fatherwho said,

‘I asked Al-Sadiq Ja’far asws Bin Muhammadasws, so I said to himasws, ‘Why did Allahazwj Create the creatures (people)?’ So Imamasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High neitherCreated Hisazwj creatures in vain nor did Heazwj Leave them in vain, but Allahazwj Created them for the Manifestation of Hisazwj Power and for Imposing Hisazwj Obedience upon them, so that they would become deserving of Hisazwj Pleasure dueto that. And Allahazwj neither Created them to get some benefit from them nor to driveaway the harm by them, but Created them to benefit them and Cause them to arrive

to the eternal Bounties’.

Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya narrated to us, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Ataar, from Sahl BinZiyad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Muhammad Bin Zayd who said,

‘I came to Al-Rezaasws to ask himasws about the Oneness (Tawheed), so heasws dictated to me: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj, the Originator of the things, its growth andits initiation, beginning these by Hisazwj Power and Hisazwj Wisdom. There is nonefrom the things which invalidates its origination, nor is there anything which correctsthe original. Allahazwj Creates whatever Heazwj so Desires to, howsoever Heazwj soDesires to, in unison with that for the manifestation of Hisazwj Wisdom and the realityof the Lordship. The intellects cannot grasp Himazwj nor can the imaginations reachHimazwj, nor can the vision visualise Himazwj, nor can Heazwj be surrounded by themeasurement. The words get frustrated and the visions fail, and the describer strayin the description of the Attributes. Allahazwj has Veiled Himself without a veil, being

Veiled, and Curtained Himself azwj

without a curtain, being Curtained. Heazwj

isrecognised without being seen and described without an image, and without a body.There is no god except for the Greatest and the Elevated’.14

Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Ahmad Ibn Al Waleed narrated to us, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from his father, fromSa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from HishamBin Salim, from Habeeb Al Sajastany who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far asws saying: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, when Heazwj Extracted

the offspring of Adamas from hisas back in order to Take the Covenant against them,for Himazwj for the Lordship, and with the Prophet-hood of every Prophetas, the first ofwhat was Taken against them for the Covenant was the Prophet-hood ofMuhammad Ibn Abdullahsaww.

Then Allahazwj Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, Said to Adamas: “Look, what do youas see?”

He

asws

said: ‘So he

as

looked at his

offspring, they were particles which had filled thesky. So Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! How numerous are myas offspring, for what matterdid Youazwj Create them? So what do Youazwj Intend by Taking the Covenant againstthem?’ Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “To worship Meazwj, and not associatinganything with Meazwj, and believing in Myazwj Rasoolsas and following them”.

Adamas said: ‘So what is the matter that Ias see some of the particles to be greater

than the others, and some of them have a lot of light for them, and some of themhave little light, and some of them have not light for them?’ Allahazwj Mighty andMajestic Said: “It is like that that Iazwj have Created them to Test them in everysituation of them”. Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! Do Youazwj Permit meas so that Ias speakto them?’ Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Speak, for your as spirit is from Myazwj Spirit, and your as nature is different from what Iazwj am”.

Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj!

And Iazwj am Allahazwj, the Creator, the All Knowing. It is by Myazwj Knolwedge thatIazwj have Caused difference to be in between their creation, and it is by Myazwj Desirethat Myazwj Judgements get Established among them, and it is upon Myazwj Management and Myazwj Power that they have come to be. There is no change toMyazwj Creation. But rather, Iazwj Created the Jinn, and the human beings in order to

worship Meazwj

, and Iazwj

Created the Paradise for the one who worships Meazwj

, andobeys Meazwj, from among them, and follows Myazwj Rasoolsaww, and Iazwj do not care. And Iazwj Created the Fire for the ones who disbelieve in Meazwj, and disobey Meazwj,and do not obey Myazwj Rasoolsaww, and Iazwj do not care. And Iazwj Created youas andCreated your as offspring from other than there being a need for Meazwj, to youas or tothem. But rather, Iazwj Created youas and Created them for Testing youas, and Testingthem as which ones of you is the best in deeds in the house of the world, during yourlifetimes before your deaths.

And thus, Iazwj Created the world and the Hereafter, and the life, and the death, andthe obedience, and the disobedience, and the Paradise, and the Fire. And thus I azwj Wanted it to be in Myazwj Power, and Myazwj Management, and with Myazwj Knowledge, and the Establishment among them the difference between theirimages, and their bodies, and their colours, and their builds, and their livelihoods,and their obedience, and their disobedience. So Iazwj Made among them the happyand the miserable, and the seeing and the blind, and the short and the tall, and thebeautiful and the reprehensible, and the knowledgeable and the ignorant, and therich and the poor, and the obedient and the disobedient, and the healthy and thesick, and the ones with the (long/short) ages and the one with no sovereign to him.

So the able-bodies one looks at the one with the disability and he Praises Meazwj over his own health, and the one with the disability looks at the one who is able-bodied, so he supplicates to Meazwj and asks Meazwj that Isaww should Grant him

Reward him forbeing obedience to Meazwj. And the rich one looks at the poor, so he Praises Meazwj and thanks Meazwj, and the poor one looks at the rich, so he supplicates to Me azwj and asks Meazwj. And the Believer looks at the disbeliever, so he Praises Meazwj uponwhat Iazwj have Guided him.

And it is for Meazwj that Iazwj should Make it to come to pass whatever I azwj Measure upon what Iazwj Manage, and it is for Meazwj that Iazwj should change thatwhatever Iazwj so Desire to, to whatever Iazwj so Desire to. So Iazwj Bring forward fromwhat Iazwj Delayed, and Delay what Iazwj had (Intended to) bring forward. And Iazwj am Allahazwj! The Doer of whatsoever Iazwj Intend to. Iazwj Cannot be questioned about

anything that Iazwj Do, like Iazwj have Hesitated during the Capturing of the soul of theBeliever. He dislikes the death and Iazwj Dislike displeasing him, but it is inevitable forhim. And what makes Myazwj servant to come closer to Meazwj like the fulfilment ofwhat Iazwj have Obligated upon him, and Myazwj servant does not cease to supplicateto Meazwj until Iazwj get to Love him, and the one whom Iazwj Love, Iazwj would be his

hearing, and his eyesight, and his hands, and that he would supplicate to Meazwj

Iazwj

would Answer him, and if he were to ask Meazwj, I would Give it to him.

Then heasws said: ‘O Ibn Fazal! Allahazwj Blessed and High is better in considerationto Hisazwj servants than themselves. Have you not seen that among them are thosewho do not see except for love of the exaltation over others to the extent that someamong them become inclined to claiming the lordship over others, and among themare ones who have inclined towards claiming the Prophet-hood without a right, andamong them are those who have inclined towards claiming the Imamate without aright, and that is along with what they are seeing in themselves, from the faults, andthe frustration, and the weakness, and the humiliation, and the need, and thepoverty, and the pains, and the difficulties against them, and the death overcomingthem, and the compulsion to gather them. O Ibn Fazal! Allahazwj Blessed and Highdoes not Deal with Hisazwj servants except for the correction for them, and is notunjust to the people with anything, but the people themselves are unjust’.28

‘‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the beginning of the offspring from Adamas, how didthis come about? And about the offspring from the offspring of Adamas, (2nd generation) for there are people who are saying, ‘Allahazwj the High Revealed unto Adamas that heas should get hisas daughters to be married to hisas sons, and that thepeople, all of them, their origin is from brothers and sisters?’

So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Glorified is Allahazwj, Higher than that, Higher, Greater!The one who said this is saying that Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty Created the elite ofHisazwj creatures, and the ones Beloved to Himazwj, and Hisazwj Prophetsas, and Hisazwj Rasoolsas, and the believing men, and the believing women, and the Muslim men,and the Muslim women unlawfully, and did not have the ability to Create them

lawfully, and Heazwj has Taken the Covenant upon the Lawful, and the Purified, andthe good. And Allahazwj has (even) Informed some of the animals that it should keepaway from its sister. So when it descends upon it and when it find out that it is itssister, grabs it by its teeth until it cuts it, so it falls down dead.

Zarara said, ‘The I asked himasws about the Creation of Hawwaas and said to himasws that some people among us are saying that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic CreatedHawwaas from far-right rib of Adamas?’ Heasws said: ‘Glorified is Allahazwj, Higher thanthat, Higher, Greater! Is he saying, the one who is saying this, that Allah azwj Blessedand High did not have the Power to Create for Adamas, hisas wifeas from other thanhisas rib, and made a way for the speakers from the slanderous people, to be sayingthat Adamas had married some of hisas part (children) to each other. Since they werefrom hisas rib, what is the (difference in the) Judgement of Allahazwj for them, betweenus and them?’

Then heasws said: ‘When Allahazwj Blessed and High Created Adamas from the clayand Commanded the Angels, so they Prostrated to himas. Then dormancy was castover himas (Adamas). Then a creation was begun for himas (Hawwaas). Then sheas was Made to be in the place of the waist which was between his as hips, and it is dueto that, that the women act in accordance to the men. So sheas started turning andmoving by hisas side. So heas paid attention to her as movement. So when heas noticed it, there was a Call telling her as to move away from himas. So when heas

looked at her as

looked at a beautiful creature, resembling himas

in image,except that sheas was a female. So heas spoke to her as, and sheas spoke to himas in

So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj is Higher than that, Higher, Greater! The one whosaid this is saying that Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty Created the elite of Hisazwj creatures, and the ones Beloved to Himazwj, and Hisazwj Prophetsas, and Hisazwj Rasoolsas, and the believing men, and the believing women, and the Muslim men,and the Muslim women unlawfully, and did not have the ability to Create them

has Taken the Covenant upon the Lawful, and the Purified, andthe good.

And Allahazwj has (even) Informed some of the animals that it should keep away fromits sister. So when it descends upon it and when it find out that it is its sister, grabs itby its teeth until it cuts it, so it falls down dead. And it also dislikes (copulating) with

its mother and it acts in the same way. So how can the human being (do this)forgetting his preference and his knowledge? But, a generation from these peoplewhich you are seeing have turned away from the knowledge of the Household oftheir Prophetsas and took from where they had not been Ordered to take it from, thusthey became what you have been seeing, from the straying and the ignorance withthe knowledge. How it was with the things in the past, from the beginning of theCreation of Allahazwj what Heazwj Created, and (this is) what it will be happening,forever’.

Then heasws said: ‘Woe be upon them! Where are they? Blind from what the jurist ofthe people of Al-Hijaz and the jurists of the people of Al-Iraq are not differing in, that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded the Pen, so it flowed upon the GuardedTablet with (writing) what would be happening up to the Day of Judgement, twothousand years before the Creation of Adamas, and the Allahazwj Wrote all of this,with regards to what the Pen flowed, and in all of this is the Prohibition of the sistersupon the brothers, along with whatever (else) was Prohibited. And this, we have

seen from it in these four Books, in this world – The Torah, and the Evangel, and thePsalms, and the Furqaan (Quran). Allahazwj Revealed these from the Guarded Tabletunto Hisazwj Rasoolsas, all of them.

From these, the Torah was upon Musaas, and the Psalm was upon Dawoodas, andthe Evangel was upon Isaas, and the Quran was upon Muhammadsaww, and there isno Permission in these (Books) for anything from that (marriage between brothers

and sisters). Truth is what Iasws

Then heasws established in narrating to us, how the offspring of Adamas began, andhow the offspring began from hisas offspring. So heasws said: ‘There were born unto Adamas, seventy pregnancies (of Hawwaas), in each pregnancy was a slave and amaid (boy and a girl) up to the killing of Habeelas. So when Qabeella killed Habeelas, Adamas was aggrieved upon Habbeelas with such grief that heas cut off from thewomen. So heas remained not copulating with Hawwaas for five hundred years. Thenhisas grief which was with himas subsided, so heas copulated with Hawwaas, and Allahazwj Granted to himas, one thing, and there was no second along with it (singlebirth, not twins).

And the name of Sheesas was Hibtallahas, and heas was the first one who wasbequeathed to, from the human beings, in the earth. Then there was born unto him as Yafasas, not having a second with himas. So when they became aware (adults), Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Intended that their offspring to reach what you areseeing, and since the Pen had flowed from Prohibiting what Allahazwj Mighty andMajestic had Prohibited, from the sisters upon the brothers, after some time, on theDay of Thursday, Caused a Hourie to descend from the Paradise, her name beingNazalat.

So, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded Adamas that heas should get hermarried to Sheesas. So heas got her to be married to himas. Then, after some time, a

Hourie descended from the Paradise, her name being Manzalat. So Allahazwj

theHigh Commanded Adamas that heas should get her to be married to Yafas, so he as got her to be married to him. A boy was born unto Sheesas, and a girl was born untoYafas. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded Adamas, when they attainedawareness (adults), to get the daughter of Yafas to be married to the son of Sheesas.So heas did it. Thus the elites from the Prophetsas, and the Rasoolsas were born fromtheir offspring. And God Forbid, that that happened upon what they are saying, fromthe brothers and the sisters’.33
