Les Gens aux Esprits Faibles

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil from Zurara from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The feeble-minded people are those who are not able to find the means, the guidance or the way. The Imam said, ‘They are not able to find the means to belief and they do not disbelieve, like children and those who are of children’s mental condition, male and female.’”

Les opprimés sont ceux qui ne peuvent pas trouver de solution et ne trouvent pas le chemin. Ils ne peuvent pas trouver de solution vers la foi et ne rejettent pas les enfants, ni ceux qui ont des capacités intellectuelles similaires à celles des enfants parmi les hommes et les femmes.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from ibn Ri’ab from Zurara who has said the following: “Once I asked abu Ja’far (a.s.) about the feeble-minded people. The Imam said, ‘They are those who are not able to defend themselves against disbelief or find the means to the way in the direction of belief. They are not able to have belief and do not disbelieve.’ The Imam said, ‘Children and those of men and women who are of children’s mental condition are among such people.’”

Il a dit: Cela concerne les enfants et ceux parmi les hommes et les femmes qui ont des capacités mentales équivalentes à celles des enfants.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jundab from Sufyan ibn al-Samt al-Bajilli who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘What do you say about the feeble-minded people?’ The Imam asked me in a manner similar to one frightened, ‘Have you left anyone to be considered feeble? By Allah, girls behind the curtains have heard about your cause (Divine Authority of Ahl al-Bayt ) and water carriers in the street of Madina speak about it.’”

J'ai demandé à Abu Abdullah (sur lui la paix) ce qu'il pensait des opprimés. Il me répondit en comparant cela à la terreur. Vous avez laissé quelqu'un être opprimé, où sont les opprimés ? Par Allah, vos affaires ont conduit ces femmes sans défense vers d'autres femmes sans défense dans leurs cœurs, et les servantes en parlent sur le chemin de Médine.

5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa’id from Fudalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Umar ibn Aban who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the feeble-minded people. The Imam said, ‘They are the people under guardianship.’ I then asked, ‘What kind of guardianship is it?’ The Imam said, ‘It is not a religious guardianship. It is guardianship in marriages, inheritance and social affairs. They are neither believers nor unbelievers. There are those among them for whom one may hope in the command of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy.’”

Les opprimés sont les gens de la wilaya. Ce n'est pas la wilaya dans la religion, mais dans le mariage, l'héritage et la fréquentation. Ils ne sont ni croyants ni mécréants, et parmi eux, ceux qui espèrent en l'affaire de Dieu, le Puissant et Majestueux.

6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al- Washsha’ from Muthanna from Isma’il al-Ju’fi who has said the following: “Once I asked abu Ja’far (a.s.) about how much religious knowledge people must have. The Imam said, ‘Religion is vast but the Khawarij (those who turned against Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.)) group has narrowed it down upon themselves due to their ignorance.’ I asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, can I tell you what kind of religion I believe in?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, you may do so.’ I said, ‘I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. I affirm to whatever he has brought from Allah. I love you {AM al-Bayt) and disavow your enemies and those who have suppressed you, kept (unjust) control over you and who have usurped your rights.’ The Imam said, ‘You are not ignorant of anything. This, by Allah is what we follow.’ I asked, ‘Is one who does not know this (cause) safe?’ The Imam said, ‘No, except the feeble- minded people.’ I asked, ‘Who are they?’ The Imam said, ‘Your women and children.’ Then he said, ‘Consider ‘Umm ‘Ayman. I testify that she is of the people of paradise, but she did not know what you believe.’”

J'ai interrogé Abou Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet de la religion pour laquelle l'ignorance des serviteurs ne les excuse pas. Il a répondu : "La religion est vaste, mais les Khawarij se restreignent en raison de leur ignorance." J'ai dit : "Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour toi, je vais te parler de ma religion." Il a répondu : "Oui." J'ai alors récité le témoignage de foi et il a confirmé. Puis j'ai demandé : "Est-ce que quelqu'un est sauf s'il ne connaît pas cela ?" Il a répondu : "Non, sauf les opprimés." J'ai demandé : "Qui sont-ils ?" Il a dit : "Vos femmes et vos enfants." Ensuite, il a ajouté : "As-tu vu Umm Ayman ? Je témoigne qu'elle est parmi les habitants du Paradis et elle ne savait pas ce que vous savez."

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever knows the differences among people is not a feeble-minded person.’”

قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَنْ عَرَفَ اخْتِلافَ النَّاسِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُسْتَضْعَفٍ.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Darraj who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘I may have mentioned those feeble-minded people and I say that those people and we are in homes of paradise.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) said, ‘Allah will never do that to you.’”

Il m'arrive parfois de mentionner ces opprimés et de dire que nous et eux sommes dans les demeures du Paradis. Abou Abdillah (sur lui la paix) a répondu: "Allah ne fera jamais cela avec vous."

9. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ali ibn al-Hassan al- Taymi from his two brothers, Muhammad and Ahmad sons of al-Hassan from Ali ibn Ya’qub from Marwan ibn Muslim from Ayyub ibn al-Hurr who has said the following: “Once a man said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) while we were present, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, we are afraid that because of our sins we will be treated as feeble-minded people.’ The narrator has said that the Imam said, ‘No, by Allah, Allah will never do that to you.’” Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from a man from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) a similar Hadith.

Ali ibn Ibrahim, de son père, d'Ibn Abi Umayr, d'un homme, d'Abi Abdullah (sur lui la paix) a rapporté des propos similaires.

10. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu al- Maghra’ from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever knows the differences among people is not a feeble- minded person.”

Celui qui connaît les divergences entre les gens n'est pas parmi les opprimés.

11. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Khuza’i from Ali ibn Suwayd who has said the following: “Once I asked abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) about the feeble-minded people and he wrote to me, ‘A feeble-minded is one to whom evidence and proof is not (or cannot be) presented and he does not know the differences among people. If he knows the differences among people he is not an enfeeble person.’”

J'ai demandé à Abu al-Hasan Musa (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet des faibles. Il m'a répondu : "Le faible est celui à qui aucune preuve n'a été présentée et qui ne connaît pas la divergence. Mais s'il connaît la divergence, il n'est pas considéré comme faible."

12. Certain individuals of our people have narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Habib al-Khath’ami from abu Sarah Imam of the Mosque of Banu Hilal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Today no one is a feeble-minded person. Men have informed men and women have informed women.”

Aujourd'hui n'est pas un jour où les hommes oppriment les hommes, et les femmes, les femmes.
