5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbass from Safwan ibn Yahya from ‘Abdallah ibn Muskan from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Khaliq and abu Basir who has said the following. “Abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) said, ‘O abu Muhammad, with us there is a secret of the secrets of Allah and a knowledge of the knowledge of Allah. No angel, near to Allah or a prophet who is a messenger also and no believer whose heart Allah has tested for faith is capable to bear. By Allah, Allah has not required anyone to bear it except us nor has He required anyone to worship him in that way except us. With us there is a secret of the secrets of Allah and a knowledge of the knowledge of Allah. Allah has commanded us to preach it We then preached what Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, had commanded us to preaCh However, we did not find a proper place for it or a people or bearers who accept it until Allah created certain tribes. These people were created from the clay out of which Muhammad and his descendants were created and from a light from which Allah had created Muhammad and his descendants. He made them with the excess of the making of His blessings out of which He had made Muhammad and his descendants. We then preached what Allah had commanded us to preach then these people accepted and acknowledged that. [It reached them from us and they accepted and acknowledged it]. Our mention reached them and their hearts inclined towards us, recognizing us and our hadith. Had they not been created from this they would not have been as suCh No, by Allah, they would not have acknowledged.” Then the Imam (a.s.) said, “Allah created certain tribes for Hell and fire. He then commanded us to preach to them as we had preached to them but to the later ones it seemed repugnant and their hearts felt hatred and they rejected it from us, did not acknowledge it and considered it as lies and they said, “They are magicians and liars.” Allah then placed a seal on their hearts and made them to forget. Allah then opened their tongue with some of the truth. Thus, they speak of it but their hearts are in denial. He uses it in defense of His friends and those who obey Him. Had it not been there no one would have worshipped Allah on earth. He commanded us to withheld it from them, hide and conceal. You must also hide it from those that Allah has commanded to withheld from and hide from those that Allah has commanded to hide and withheld from.” The narrator has said that the Imam (a.s.) then raised his hands and wept and said, “O Lord, this is a very small group. Make our lives as their lives and our death like their death. Do not make dominant over them any of Your enemies that would cause us suffer pains for their suffering. If You would allow it to cause pains to us because of their sufferings no one would worship You on earth. May Allah send blessing up on Muhammad and his Ahl al-Bayt and may (Your) peace and more peace be with them.”
5 - Ahmad ibn Muhammad, de Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, de Mansur ibn al-Abbas, de Safwan ibn Yahya, d'Abdullah ibn Muskan, de Muhammad ibn Abd al-Khaliq et d'Abu Basir, ont rapporté que Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) a dit : "Ô Abu Muhammad, certes, nous détenons, par Allah, un secret parmi les secrets de Dieu, et une connaissance parmi les connaissances de Dieu. Par Allah, aucun ange rapproché, aucun prophète envoyé, aucun croyant dont Dieu a testé le cœur pour la foi, n'a supporté ce que nous supportons. Par Allah, Dieu n'a imposé cela à personne d'autre que nous, ni n'a fait servir cela à personne d'autre que nous. Certes, nous détenons un secret parmi les secrets de Dieu, et une connaissance parmi les connaissances de Dieu. Dieu nous a ordonné de le transmettre, et nous avons transmis de Dieu, le Puissant et Majestueux, ce qu'Il nous a ordonné de transmettre, mais nous n'avons trouvé ni lieu, ni personne, ni porteur capable de le supporter, jusqu'à ce que Dieu crée pour cela des peuples formés d'une substance, parmi lesquels a été créé Muhammad, sa famille et sa descendance, sur une lumière qu'Allah a créée à partir de laquelle Il a créé Muhammad, sa descendance, et les a façonnés par la grâce de Sa miséricorde, dont Il a créé Muhammad et sa descendance. Nous avons transmis de Dieu ce qu'Il nous a ordonné de transmettre, ils l'ont accepté, l'ont supporté, nous l'ont transmis, l'ont accepté et l'ont supporté, et notre mention leur est parvenue, alors leurs cœurs se sont penchés vers notre connaissance et notre récit. Si ce n'était pas qu'ils ont été créés ainsi, ils n'auraient pas pu le supporter. Ensuite, il a dit : Certes, Dieu a créé des peuples pour l'Enfer et le Feu, et Il nous a ordonné de les informer comme nous les avons informés, mais ils ont reculé devant cela, leurs cœurs se sont détournés de nous, ils l'ont rejeté, ont menti à ce sujet, et ont dit : un magicien menteur. Alors Dieu a scellé leurs cœurs et leur a fait oublier cela. Ensuite, Dieu a libéré leur langue pour dire une partie de la vérité, qu'ils prononcent, alors que leurs cœurs la renient, afin que cela repousse ceux qui sont proches de Lui et les gens de Son obéissance. Si ce n'était pas pour cela, Dieu n'aurait pas été adoré sur Sa terre. Il nous a ordonné de nous éloigner d'eux, de les couvrir et de garder le silence sur ce qu'Allah nous a ordonné de nous éloigner, de couvrir et de garder le silence. Ensuite, il leva les mains, pleura et dit : "Ô Allah, ces gens sont une poignée insignifiante, fais que notre vie soit leur vie, et notre mort leur mort, et ne laisse pas un ennemi s'acharner sur eux pour nous causer du tort, car si Tu nous causes du tort à travers eux, nous ne serons jamais adorateurs sur Ta terre." Que la paix et les bénédictions d'Allah soient sur Muhammad et sa famille.
