30. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘Narrated to me a man from our companions’, from Al-Hakam Bin Uteyba who said: ‘I was with Abu Ja’far (asws) and the house was full of its people when an old man (Sheykh) came up leaning upon his goat (for support) until he paused at the door of the house. He said, ‘Salam un Allaika’ ‘Peace be upon you O son (asws) of the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) and Mercy of Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) Blessings’. Then he was quiet. Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘And peace be upon you and Mercy of Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) Blessings’. Then the old man turned his face toward the people of the house and said, ‘Peace be upon you’. Then he was quiet until all the people had answered him and returned his greetings. Then he turned his face towards Abu Ja’far (asws), then said, ‘O son (asws) of the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), allow me (to come near you (asws)), may Allah (azwj) Make me to be sacrificed for you (asws), for by Allah (azwj), I love you (asws) and love those who love you (asws), and by Allah (azwj) I don’t love you (asws) and those who love you (asws) for the greed of the world. By Allah (azwj) I hate your (asws) enemies and keep away from them, and by Allah (azwj) I do not hate them and keep away from them due to the dispute between me and them. By Allah (azwj), I permit for myself that which you (asws) have made it to be permissible, and prohibit to myself that which you (asws) have made it to be prohibited, and I await your (asws) command. So is there hope for me, may Allah (azwj) Make me to be sacrificed for you?’ Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Come near, come near’, until he (asws) seated him by his (asws) side, then said: ‘O you old man, a man came to my (asws) father (asws) Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) and asked him similar to what you has asked me (asws). So my (asws) father (asws) said to him: ‘If you were to die you would return to the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), and to Ali (asws), and Al-Hassan (asws), and Al-Husayn (asws), and Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws). Your heart would be in delight and it would be cooled at what your eyes would recognise, and you would be welcomed by the Spirit and the fragrance along with the Honourable Scribes. If your soul reaches here’ – and he (asws) indicated by his (asws) hand to his (asws) throat – ‘and when you live you will see what delights Allah (azwj) has Kept for your eyes, and you will be with us (asws) in the highest peak’. The old man said, ‘What did you (asws) say, O Abu Ja’far (asws)’. So he (asws) repeated the words for him. The old man said, ‘Allah (azwj) is Great! O Abu Ja’far (asws), if I were to die I would return to the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), and to Ali (asws), and Al-Hassan (asws), and Al-Husayn (asws), and Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws), and my eyes would be delighted, and my heart would be cooled, and I would be welcome by the Spirit and the fragrance along with the Honourable Scribes. If my soul reached up to here, and I will live and see what delights Allah (azwj) has Kept for my eyes, so I would be with you (asws) in the highest peak’. Then the old man sobbed and wailed saying ‘Haaa, haaa, haaa’, until he rolled upon the ground, and all the people in the house sobbed and wailed upon seeing the condition of the old man, and Abu Ja’far (asws) came and wiped his tears from his eyes with his (asws) finger then flicked them away. Then the old man raised his head so he said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘O son (asws) of the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), give me your (asws) hand, may Allah (azwj) Make me to be sacrificed for you (asws)’. So he (asws) gave him his (asws) hand. So he kissed it and place it upon his eyes and his cheek, then placed it upon his abdomen and his chest. Then he stood up to leave and said, ‘Peace be upon you (asws)’. And Abu Ja’far (asws) kissed the scruff of his neck and looked at him when he was leaving. He (asws) then turned his (asws) face towards the people, so he (asws) said: ‘The one who would love to look at a man from the inhabitants of the Paradise, so they should look at this one’. Al-Hakam Al-Uteyba said, ‘I had never seen such mourners at all resembling like that gathering’.
Muhammad ibn Yahya a rapporté d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de Muhammad ibn Sinan, d'Ishaq ibn Ammar, qui a dit : Un homme parmi nos compagnons a rapporté de Al-Hakam ibn Utaybah, qui a dit : Alors que j'étais avec Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) et que la maison était pleine de sa famille, un vieil homme s'est approché en s'appuyant sur un bâton jusqu'à ce qu'il se tienne devant la porte de la maison. Il a dit : "Que la paix soit sur toi, ô fils du Messager d'Allah, ainsi que Sa miséricorde et Ses bénédictions." Puis il s'est tu. Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a répondu : "Et que la paix soit sur toi, ainsi que Sa miséricorde et Ses bénédictions." Ensuite, le vieil homme s'est tourné vers les membres de la maison et a dit : "Que la paix soit sur vous." Puis il s'est tu jusqu'à ce que tous les gens lui répondent par le salut. Ensuite, il s'est tourné vers Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) et a dit : "Ô fils du Messager d'Allah, sois généreux envers moi, que Allah fasse de moi ton rançon. Par Allah, je vous aime, ainsi que ceux qui vous aiment. Par Allah, ce n'est pas par intérêt pour ce monde que je vous aime et j'aime ceux qui vous aiment. Par Allah, je déteste vos ennemis et je me désavoue d'eux. Par Allah, ce n'est pas par rancune personnelle envers eux que je les déteste et me désavoue d'eux. Par Allah, je permets ce qui est licite pour vous et j'interdis ce qui est illicite pour vous. J'attends vos ordres. Espères-tu que je sois ton rançon devant Allah ?" Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) lui a dit : "Approche-toi de moi, approche-toi de moi", jusqu'à ce qu'il le fasse asseoir à côté de lui. Puis il a dit : "Ô vieil homme, mon père Ali ibn al-Husayn (que la paix soit sur lui) a été approché par un homme qui lui a posé la même question que celle que tu m'as posée. Mon père (que la paix soit sur lui) lui a dit : Si tu meurs, tu retourneras vers le Messager d'Allah, Ali, Hassan, Husayn, et Ali ibn al-Husayn, et ton cœur sera apaisé, ton esprit sera rasséréné, tes yeux seront réconfortés, et tu seras accueilli par les anges écrivains. Si ton âme atteint ce point, et que tu désires le rencontrer, il te guidera vers lui et te prendra par la main jusqu'à son cou. Et si tu vis, tu verras ce qui réconforte tes yeux et tu seras parmi nous dans le plus haut niveau du Paradis." Le vieil homme a demandé : "Comment as-tu répondu, ô Abi Ja'far ?" Il a répété ses paroles, puis le vieil homme a dit : "Allah est le plus grand, ô Abi Ja'far. Si je meurs, je veux retourner vers le Messager d'Allah, Ali, Hassan, Husayn, et Ali ibn al-Husayn, et que mon cœur soit apaisé, mon esprit rasséréné, mes yeux réconfortés, et que je sois accueilli par les anges écrivains. Si mon âme atteint ce point, et si je vis, je verrai ce qui réconforte mes yeux et je serai parmi vous dans le plus haut niveau du Paradis." Ensuite, le vieil homme s'est mis à pleurer et à sangloter jusqu'à ce qu'il soit prostré au sol. Les membres de la maison ont également pleuré et sangloté en voyant l'état du vieil homme. Abi Ja'far (que la paix soit sur lui) a essuyé
