Hadith 375

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I found in Kitab Siffeen and increase, and it is, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Whose Bounties neither deplete nor can the Grace cease, and I-asws testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and we are from the testifiers upon that. And I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww. As for after’. And Nasr said, ‘Ma’qil Bin Qays Al-Riyahi stood up to him-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! By Allah-azwj, nor one would stay behind from you-asws except an ignoble nor wait and watch with you-asws except a hypocrite, so order Malik Bin Habeeb to strike off the necks of the ones staying behind! ’
He said, ‘I-asws have already instructed him-asws with my-asws instruction, and he wouldn’t be deficient, if Allah-azwj so Desires’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Malik Bin Habeeb said, and he was hold to a rein of his animal, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Are you-asws going out with the Muslims so they would attain Recompense of the Jihad, and the fighting, and you-asws are leaving me behind among crowds of men? ’
Ali-asws said to him: ‘They will never attain anything from the Recompense except you will be their participant in it, and you are over here, greater of the availing from you than them if you had been with them’. He said, ‘I hear and obey, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws’. Nasr (the reporter) said, ‘Then he-asws travelling until he-asws ended up to the city of Bahuraseyr, and there was a man from his-asws companions called Jareer Bin Sahm looking at the impact of Chosroe, and trailing Al Aswad Bin Ya’fur, ‘The winds flowed upon the place of their houses, it was as if they were upon an appointment’. He-asws said: ‘Indeed! I-asws said, How many of the gardens and fountains they left (behind), [44: 25] And plantations and noble places, [44: 26] And bounties they used to enjoy in? [44: 27] Like that, and We Made these to be inherited by another people [44: 28] So the sky and the earth did not weep upon them, nor were they Respited [44: 29]. They were inheritors and they became hereditarians. They did not thank for the Bounties, so their world was confiscated due to the disobedience. Beware of the Kufr of the Bounties, the curse would not be released with you’. Then he-asws said: ‘Descend at this valley’’. [60]
