1. [1/275] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh b. Nusayr from Muhammad b. Isa from al-Hasan b. Ali b. Yaqtin who said: Whenever Abu al-Hasan [al-Kadhim] عليه‌ السلام wanted some necessities for himself, or something of a personal nature, he would write to my father Ali: ‘purchase for me this and that or acquire for me such and such and let Hisham b. al-Hakam be the one to undertake that’. But if it had to do with his [the Imam’s] more general responsibilities he would just write: ‘purchase for me this and that’ and not mention Hisham unless it was personal.

IsnādRapporté par Al-Kashshi: Hamdouyeh ibn Naseer, de Muhammad ibn Issa, de Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Yaqteen, qui a dit:

Lorsque Abu Al-Hassan (que la paix soit sur lui) voulait quelque chose pour lui-même ou pour ses affaires, il écrivait à son père, c'est-à-dire Ali, pour lui dire d'acheter telle chose pour lui, de prendre telle chose pour lui, et de confier cela à Hicham ibn Al-Hakam. S'il s'agissait d'autres affaires, il lui écrivait pour acheter telle chose pour lui, ne mentionnant Hicham que pour les affaires le concernant. Il est rapporté qu'il lui avait confié quinze mille dirhams, lui disant d'en disposer, de prendre tous les bénéfices et de nous rendre le capital. Hicham, que Dieu lui fasse miséricorde, a agi ainsi, et que Dieu prie sur Abu Al-Hassan.

2. [2/276] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh from Muhammad b. Isa from Yunus who said: I said to Hisham: Your companions relate that Aba al-Hasan عليه السلام sent a message to you and Hisham b. Salim via Abd al-Rahman b. al-Hajjaj saying: ‘abstain from speaking [making theological disputations]’.He [Hisham] said: Abd al-Rahman b. al-Hajjaj came to me and said: Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام says to you: ‘abstain from speaking in these days’ - because it had been authored for al-Mahdi [the Caliph] [a treatise containing] the theological positions of the people. In it were the theological positions of the Jawaliqiyya [followers] of Hisham b. Salim. This treatise was publicly read in Sharqiyya [a district in Baghdad] but the position of Hisham [b. al-Hakam] was not mentioned.Yunus claims that Hisham b. al-Hakam said to him: I abstained from speaking totally until al-Mahdi died, for he [the Imam] had said ‘in these days’ - so he stopped until al-Mahdi died.

IsnādRapporté par Al-Kashshi: Hamdouwayh, de Muhammad ibn 'Isa, de Younus, qui a dit: J'ai demandé à Hicham...

...de retenir ses paroles. Hicham ibn Salim a dit: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj est venu me voir et m'a dit: Abu al-Hasan (paix soit sur lui) te demande de retenir tes paroles ces jours-ci...'

3. [3/277] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Nusayr from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from al-Husayn b. Sai’d from Ahmad b. Muhammad [b. Abi Nasr] from Abi al-Hasan al-Ridha عليه السلام who said: Is there not for you in [the case of] Abi al-Hasan [al-Kadhim] عليه السلام a warning! What do you think is the state of Hisham b. al-Hakam? For he is the one who did to Abi al-Hasan what he did, and he informed them and divulged to them [the secrets of the Madhhab]. Do you think Allah will forgive him what he has perpetrated on us!

IsnādHommes de al-Kashshi: Muhammad ibn Nasir, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de al-Husayn ibn Sa'id, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad, d'Abu al-Hasan al-Rida (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit:

"N'aviez-vous pas un exemple en Abu al-Hasan (que la paix soit sur lui) ?! Regardez la situation de Hisham ibn al-Hakam, c'est lui qui a fait à Abu al-Hasan ce qu'il a fait, et il leur a dit et leur a informé : 'Pensez-vous qu'Allah lui pardonnera ce qu'il a commis envers nous !'"

4. [4/-] al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from al-Nadhr b. Suwayd from Hisham b. al-Hakam - that he asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام about the Names of Allah and their derivation saying: What is Allah derived from? He [Hisham] said: so he [the Imam] said to me: O Hisham, ‘Allah’ is derived from ‘ilah’ and ‘al-ilah’ connotes ‘the one who is worshipped’. The name is other than the named. Whoever worships the name without the meaning then he has disbelieved and has not worshipped anything. Whoever worships the name and the meaning then he has disbelieved and worshipped two [distinct things]. Whoever worships the meaning without the name then that is true monotheism. Have you understood O Hisham? He [Hisham] said: I said: increase for me. He said: Allah has ninety nine names, if the name was identical to what is named then every name among these [ninety-nine] would be a god, rather Allah is a meaning to which these names point to, and each one of them is other than him. O Hisham, ‘bread’ is a name for what is eaten, ‘water’ is a name for what is drunk, ‘clothes’ is a name for what is worn, ‘fire’ is a name for what burns, have you understood Hisham? an understanding through which you can repel and defeat our enemies and those who betake others apart from Allah Mighty and Majestic [alone]. I said: Yes. He said: May Allah benefit you by it and make you firm O Hisham.Hisham said: by Allah no one has defeated me on the subject of Tawhid to this day when I stand in the position I do.

IsnādAl-Kafi: Ali ibn Ibrahim, de son père, de al-Nadr ibn Suwayd, de Hisham ibn al-Hakam

Il a interrogé Abu 'Abdullah (sur les noms d'Allah et leur dérivation) : "Allah est-il dérivé d'une racine ?" Il m'a répondu : "Ô Hisham, Allah dérive d'Ilah, et Ilah implique le concept de divinité, et le nom sans être nommé. Celui qui adore le nom sans le sens a mécru et n'a adoré rien. Celui qui adore le nom et le sens a mécru et a adoré deux entités. Celui qui adore le sens sans le nom, voilà le monothéisme. As-tu compris, ô Hisham ?" J'ai dit : "Explique-moi davantage." Il a dit : "Certes, Allah a quatre-vingt-dix-neuf noms. Si le nom était l'entité nommée, chaque nom serait une divinité. Mais Allah est un concept auquel ces noms font référence, et tous sont différents de Lui. Ô Hisham, le pain est le nom de ce qui est mangé, l'eau est le nom de ce qui est bu, le vêtement est le nom de ce qui est porté, le feu est le nom de ce qui brûle. As-tu compris, ô Hisham, de quoi repousser et combattre nos ennemis et ceux qui prennent d'autres que Dieu comme associés ?" J'ai répondu : "Oui." Il a dit : "Que Dieu te soit bénéfique et te fortifie, ô Hisham." Hisham a dit : "Par Dieu, personne ne m'a surpassé dans la compréhension du monothéisme jusqu'à ce que j'atteigne ce niveau."

5. [5/278] Irshad al-Mufid: Ja’far b. Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Muhammad b. Ya’qub al-Kulayni from Ali b. Ibrahim from his father from a number of his men from Yunus b. Ya’qub who said: I was at Abi Abdillah’s عليه السلام when a man from the people of Sham came … then he [the Imam] said: O Hisham, you never fall flat [settle on the ground], every time it seems that you are about to come to ground [i.e. be defeated] you just bend your legs [to able to leap] and off you fly away again. The likes of you should debate the people. Therefore be wary of slipping and you will find that succor is around the corner if Allah wills.

IsnādGuidance de l'utile : Ja'far ibn Muhammad ibn Qawlawayh, de Muhammad ibn Ya'qoub al-Kulayni, de Ali ibn Ibrahim, de son père, d'un groupe de ses hommes, de Yunus ibn Ya'qoub qui a dit : J'étais chez Abi Abdillah (paix soit sur lui) lorsqu'un homme des habitants du Sham lui a rendu visite...

...puis il a dit : "Ô Hisham, tu ne peux presque pas poser tes pieds sur terre sans trébucher, tu es comme celui qui parle aux gens. Alors méfie-toi de la faute et de la médiation qui la suit, si Allah le veut."
