Hadith 2

hread which descended with Jibraeel-as upon our-asws grandfather-saww, and move it with a soft movement, and do not move it intensely, Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj, the people would be destroyed, all of them! ’
Jabir said, ‘I remained thinking, wondering from his-asws words. I did not know what I should be saying to my Master-asws. In the morning I went to Muhammad-asws, and eagerness had remained upon me at night to look at the thread and its movement. While I was upon my animal when the Imam-asws came out. So, I stood up and greeted unto him-asws, and he-asws returned the greeting unto me and said: ‘What made you come in the morning? ’
And I did not used to come during this time, so I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! I heard your-asws father-asws saying yesterday: ‘Take the thread and travel to the Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww, and move it with a soft movement and do not move it with intense movement, for the people would be destroyed, all of them’’. He-asws said: ‘O Jabir! Had it not been for the known time, and the Decreed term, and the Pre-determined Determination, and by Allah-azwj these creatures would have been overturned in the blink of an eye! No, but in a moment. No, but in a flash, But, they are honoured servants [21: 26] They do not precede Him in speech and they are only acting by His Command [21: 27]’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘O my Master-asws! And why are you doing this with them? ’ He-asws said: ‘What was presented to my-asws father-asws yesterday and the Shias complaining to him-asws of what they are facing from the Nasibis, the accursed, and the Qadirites, and the reducers’. I said, ‘Yes, O my Master-asws! ’ I-asws shall terrify them, and I-asws had loved to destroy a group from them, and Allah-azwj to Clean the city from them, and Give rest to the servants’. I said, ‘O my Master-asws! How will you-asws terrify them and they are more than (that) can be counted? ’ He-asws said: ‘Come with me-asws to the Masjid and I-asws will show you the Power of Allah-azwj the Exalted’. Jabir said, ‘I went with him-asws to the Masjid. He-asws prayed two Cycles Salat, then placed his-asws cheek in the dust and spoke (certain) phrases, then raised his-asws head and brought out a thin thread from his-asws sleeve, and aroma of musk could be smelt from it, and it was thinner in looks than a thread of the tailor. Then he (the narrator) said, ‘Take an end of the thread and walk slowly, and beware, then beware of moving it! ’ So I took an end of the thread and walked slowly. He-saww said: ‘Stop, O Jabir! ’ So, I stopped. He-asws moved the thread with a soft movement, and I did not think he-asws had moved it due to the slightness of its movement. Then he-asws said: ‘Give me-asws an end of the thread’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I gave it to him-asws and I said, ‘What did you-asws do with it, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!
