Salutation par poignée de main

2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Abu Khalid al-Qammat from Abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: "When the believing people meet and shake hands Allah inserts His hand between their hands and shakes hands with the one whose love for his brother (in belief) is more intense.’”

Certes, lorsque deux croyants se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah place Sa main entre les leurs, et celui qui serre le plus fort la main de son compagnon est celui qui l'aime le plus.

3. Ibn Faddal has narrated from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Ayyub from al-Sumayda’ from Malik ibn ‘A’Yun al-Juhni from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘When two believing people meet and shake hands Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, inserts His hand between their hands and faces the one whose love for his brother (in belief) is more intense. When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, turns His face to them their sins begin to fall like leaves from trees.’”

"Certes, lorsque deux croyants se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, place Sa main entre les leurs et tourne Son visage vers celui qu'Il aime le plus parmi eux. Et lorsque Allah tourne Son visage vers eux, les péchés tombent d'eux comme les feuilles tombent des arbres."

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from abu ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘‘When two believing people meet and shake hands Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, turns His face (direction, aspect) to them and sins began to fall from them like leaves fall from trees.’”

"Certes, lorsque deux croyants se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah (exalté soit-Il) se tourne vers eux avec Son visage, et les péchés tombent d'eux comme les feuilles tombent des arbres."

5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Safwan al-Jammal from abu ‘Ubaydah al- Hadhdha’ who has said the following: “Once I was a partner of abu Ja’far (a.s.) on a journey on one side of the carriage on the camel from Madina to Makka. On the way he dismounted for rest and, when he returned, he asked me for a handshake. He squeezed my hand so hard that my fingers began to hurt. He then said, ‘O abu ‘Ubaydah, when two Muslims meet, shake hands and crisscross their fingers, their sins begin to fall from them like leaves fall from trees on a fall day.’”

J'ai accompagné Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) avec un fardeau de Médine à La Mecque. En chemin, il descendit pour satisfaire un besoin naturel. Quand il revint, il dit : "Tends-moi ta main, ô Abou 'Oubayda". Je lui tendis ma main et il la serra jusqu'à ce que je ressente de la douleur dans mes doigts. Puis il dit : "Ô Abou 'Oubayda, aucun musulman ne rencontre son frère musulman, ne lui serre la main et ne croise ses doigts avec les siens, sans que leurs péchés ne tombent comme tombent les feuilles des arbres le jour de la tempête."

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Yahya al-Halabi from Malik al-Juhni who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) once said to me, ‘O Malik, you are of our followers (Shi’a). Are you aware that you go to extremes in our cause? No one is able to describe Allah. Just as no one is able to describe Allah, no one is able to describe us. Just as no one is able to describe us, no one is able to describe the believer. When a believer meets the believer and shakes hands, Allah continues looking at them and sins fall from their faces like leaves fall from trees until they depart each other. How then is one able to describe one who is as such?’”

Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit: "Ô Malik, vous êtes nos partisans. Ne vois-tu pas que tu négliges notre affaire ? Certes, il n'est pas possible d'attribuer des caractéristiques à Allah. De même, il n'est pas possible d'attribuer des caractéristiques à nous. Et de même, il n'est pas possible d'attribuer des caractéristiques au croyant. Le croyant rencontrera un croyant et le saluera, et Allah les regardera tous les deux, les péchés disparaîtront de leurs visages comme les feuilles tombent des arbres jusqu'à ce qu'ils se séparent. Comment alors pourrait-il attribuer une caractéristique à celui qui est ainsi ?"

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Muhammad ibn Fudayl from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Once I was a partner of abu Ja’far (a.s.) on a journey. On the way we unloaded our luggage and he walked a little and came back, held my hand and squeezed it hard. I asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, ‘Was I not with you in the carriage?’ The Imam asked, ‘Did you not know that when the believer comes around, and holds the hand of his brother (in belief), Allah faces them and looks at them. He continues facing them and says to the sins to fall off of them and they began to fall, O abu Hamza, like leaves that fall from trees. They then depart and there no sins will be left on them.’”

J'ai accompagné Abu Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) et nous avons déchargé la monture, puis il a marché un peu et est revenu. Il a pris ma main et l'a serrée fortement. J'ai dit : "Puisses-tu être sacrifié pour lui, où étais-je dans le chargement ?" Il a dit : "Ne sais-tu pas que lorsque le croyant se promène et prend la main de son frère, Allah les regarde tous les deux avec Son visage, et Il ne cesse de les regarder avec Son visage, et Il dit aux péchés : 'Eloignez-vous d'eux', et les péchés s'éloignent d'eux, ô Abu Hamzah, comme les feuilles se détachent de l'arbre, puis ils se séparent, sans qu'il y ait de péché sur eux."

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘How often is this handshake?’ The Imam said, ‘It is just after going around a palm tree.’”

La poignée de main ne doit pas dépasser le tour d'un palmier.

9. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Amr ibn al-Afraq from abu ‘Ubaydah from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “It is a good idea for the believers to shake each other’s hands after one of them remains out of sight, even because of a tree in between.”

Il convient aux croyants, lorsqu'un d'eux se cache derrière un arbre pour rencontrer son compagnon, de se saluer mutuellement.

10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from certain individuals of his people from Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna from his father from ‘Uthman ibn Zayd from Jabir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whenever any of you meets his Muslim brother (in belief) he should offer him the greeting of peace and shake his hand; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has honored the angels with it and you should also do what the angels do.’”

"Quand l'un d'entre vous rencontre son frère, qu'il lui adresse le salut et lui serre la main, car Allah, le Très-Haut, honore ainsi les anges. Alors agissez comme agissent les anges."

11. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Ali from abu Baqqah from Sayf ibn ‘Amirah from ‘Amr ibn Shamir from Jabir from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whenever you meet, you should do so by offering the greeting of peace and shaking hands and depart each other with a plea to Allah for forgiveness.’”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) a dit : "Quand vous vous rencontrez, saluez-vous mutuellement et serrez-vous la main, et quand vous vous séparez, demandez pardon les uns aux autres."

12. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Musa ibn al-Qasim from his grandfather, Mu’awiyah ibn Wahab or from others from Razin from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “During an armed expedition the Muslims, along with the Messenger of Allah, each time after passing through a wooded area on reaching the open would look at each other and shake hands.”

Les musulmans, lorsqu'ils partaient en expédition avec le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) et passaient par un endroit avec beaucoup d'arbres, puis sortaient dans un espace ouvert, se regardaient les uns les autres et se saluaient.

13. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from those who narrated to him from Zayd ibn al-Jahm al-Hilali from Malik ibn ‘Ayun from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “When two people shake hands, the one who continues holding his hand will receive greater reward than the one who releases early. However, the sins fall off of them until no sins remain.”

Il a dit : "Lorsqu'un homme serre la main de son compagnon, celui qui maintient la poignée de main obtient une récompense plus grande que celui qui la lâche. Assurément, les péchés se transmettent entre eux jusqu'à ce qu'il n'en reste plus un seul."

14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Yahya ibn al- Mubarak from ‘Abd Allah ibn Jabalah from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Once I went to see Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) and he looked at me frowning. I asked, ‘May I know how I have disappointed you?’ The Imam said, ‘It is that which has changed you toward your brothers (in belief). It has come to my notice, O Ishaq, that you have appointed someone at your door to drive away the poor people of the Shi’a (our followers).’ 1 then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I was afraid of publicity.’ The Imam asked, ‘Why did you not fear misfortune? Did you not know that when two believing people meet and shake each other’s hands Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, sends blessings upon them and ninety-nine parts of the reward go to the one who loves his believing brother (in belief) more intensely. If they love equally blessings (of Allah) encompass them both? When they sit to speak to each other the guardian angels will say to each other, ‘Leave them alone, perhaps they have certain secret matters to discuss, and Allah has provided cover for them.’ I then said, ‘Has Allah not said, ‘. . . since the two scribes are sitting on each of his shoulders, he does not utter a word that is not recorded immediately by the watchful scribes.’ (50:17) The Imam said, ‘O Ishaq, if the scribes do not hear, the One who know all secrets hears and sees.’”

Un groupe de nos compagnons a rapporté de Sahl ibn Ziyad, de Yahya ibn al-Mubarak, d'Abdullah ibn Jabala, d'Ishaq ibn Ammar, qui a dit : J'ai rencontré Abu 'Abdillah (sur lui la paix) et il m'a regardé d'un regard sévère. J'ai dit : Qu'est-ce qui t'a changé envers moi ? Il a dit : Ce qui m'a changé envers toi, c'est que j'ai appris, ô Ishaq, que tu t'assieds à ta porte comme un portier, repoussant les pauvres des chiites. J'ai dit : Que ma vie te soit sacrifiée, j'avais peur de la réputation. Il a dit : Ne crains-tu pas l'épreuve ? Ne sais-tu pas que lorsque deux croyants se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, fait descendre Sa miséricorde sur eux, et elle est composée de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf parties, la plus aimante envers son compagnon ? Lorsqu'ils se serrent la main, la miséricorde les enveloppe. Lorsqu'ils s'assoient et discutent, les anges les entourent. J'ai dit : Les gardiens ne nous laissent pas. Partez avec nous, peut-être ont-ils un secret et Allah les a couverts. J'ai dit : N'est-ce pas qu'Allah, Puissant et Majestueux, dit : Il n'énonce aucune parole sans qu'il ait auprès de Lui un observateur prêt à noter ? Il a dit : Ô Ishaq, si les gardiens n'entendent pas, le Connaisseur des secrets entend et voit.

15. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Isma’il ibn Mehran from Ayman ibn Muhriz from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When shaking hands with people, the Messenger of Allah had never been the first to discontinue the handshake.”

Le Messager d'Allah (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui et sa famille) n'a jamais serré la main d'un homme sans la retirer avant que ce ne soit lui qui la retire de lui.

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Rib’i from Zurara who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, cannot be described and how can He be described when He says in His book, “They have not revered (honored and respected) Allah properly. . . .” (22:74) He cannot be described through measurement. He is greater than such measures of respect. The Holy Prophet cannot be described and respected. How can a servant (of Allah) be described whom Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has veiled with seven things (no explanation for this seven is available). He has made obedience to him on earth like the obedience to His own self in heavens saying, ‘Take only what the Messenger gives to you and desist from what he forbids you,’ (59:7) whoever obeys him has obeyed Me and whoever disobeys him has disobeyed Me. He (Allah) made him to be the in charge person of the affairs. We also cannot be described and how can a people be described from whom Allah has removed all rijs (uncleanness), which, applies to doubt (doubt is uncleanness). The believing people also cannot be described. When the believer meets his brother (in belief) and they shake hands Allah continues looking at them and the sins fall from their faces like leaves fall off trees.’”

J'ai entendu dire qu'Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, ne peut être décrit, et comment pourrait-Il l'être ? Il a dit dans Son Livre : "Et ils n'ont pas estimé Allah comme Il devrait être estimé." Ainsi, Il ne peut être décrit selon une estimation, car toute description de Lui serait plus grande que cela. Et certes, le Prophète (que la prière d'Allah et Son salut soient sur lui) ne peut être décrit, et comment le pourrait-il ? Un serviteur qui se cache derrière sept voiles, et dont l'obéissance sur terre est comme son obéissance dans les cieux. Il a dit : "Ce que le Messager vous donne, prenez-le ; et ce qu'il vous interdit, abstenez-vous en. Celui qui obéit à cela m'obéit, et celui qui le désobéit me désobéit." Et Il a délégué à lui. Et certes, nous ne pouvons être décrits, et comment pourrions-nous l'être ? Un peuple dont la souillure a été enlevée par Allah, qui est le doute. Et le croyant ne peut être décrit. Certes, le croyant rencontre son frère et le serre dans ses bras, et Allah continue de les regarder, et les péchés tombent de leurs visages comme les feuilles tombent des arbres.

17. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from Fudayl ibn ‘Uthman from abu ‘Ubaydah who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying, ‘When two believing people meet and shake hands, Allah turns to them with His face and sins began to fall from their faces until they depart from each other.’”

Quand deux croyants se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah tourne Son visage vers eux et les péchés tombent de leurs visages jusqu'à ce qu'ils se séparent.

18. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Nawfali from al-Sakuni from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Do shake hands, it removes jealousy.”

Serrez-vous la main, car cela fait disparaître la rancœur.

19. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari from ibn al-Qaddah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Holy Prophet once met Hudhayfah and he extended his hand, but Hudhayfah held his hand back. The Holy Prophet asked, ‘How is it, O Hudhayfah, that I extended my hand to you and you held your hand back?’ Hudhayfah then said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, your hand is attractive but I am in a state of ritual impurity (Janaba) and I did not like to touch your hand with my hand that is not formally cleansed.’ The Holy Prophet then said, ‘Did you not know that when the Muslims meet and shake hands, their sins fall from them like leaves from trees?”’

20. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Bakr ibn Muhammad from Ishaq ibn ‘ Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘No one is able to describe Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, as He should be described. In the same way His Holy Prophet cannot be described. Also, the importance of the believing people cannot be described. When he meets his brother (in belief) and shakes hands, Allah looks toward them and sins began to fall from their faces like strong wind blows away leaves from trees, until they depart each other.’”

Certes, Allah, le Puissant et Majestueux, personne ne peut Le mesurer à Sa juste valeur, de même personne ne peut mesurer la valeur de Son Prophète, ni celle d'un croyant. Lorsqu'ils se rencontrent et se serrent la main, Allah les regarde et les péchés disparaissent de leurs visages jusqu'à ce qu'ils se séparent, tout comme les feuilles se dispersent sous l'effet d'un vent violent.

21. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Rifa’a who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘A handshake of believing people is better than a handshake of angels.’”

`Alī ibn Ibrāhīm a rapporté de Muḥammad ibn 'Īsā, de Yūnus, de Rifā'ah, qui a dit : J'ai entendu dire que serrer la main d'un croyant est meilleur que serrer la main des anges.
