Hadith 167

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Bayan Bin Nafie Al Tafleesy said, ‘I left my father behind at the Sanctuary in the season (of Hajj), and I aimed to Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws. When I was near from him-asws, I thought with the greeting unto him-asws. He-asws turned towards me with his-asws face and said: ‘Righteous is your Hajj, O Ibn Nafie! May Allah-azwj, Recompense you regarding your father, for He-azwj has Recalled him to Him-azwj at this moment. So return and take part in his funeral preparations’. I remained astounded at his-asws words, and I have left him behind and there was no illness with him. He-asws said: ‘O Ibn Nafie! Do you not believe? ’ I returned, and there I was with the girls slapping their cheeks. I said, ‘What is behind you? ’ They said, ‘Your father has separated from the world’. Ibn Nafie said, ‘I came to him-asws to ask him-asws about what he had hidden showed it to me. He-asws said to me: ‘Tell me what he has hidden, and I will show it to you’. Then he-asws said: ‘O Ibn Nafie! If there was such and such in your wishes that you would be asking about, so I-asws am a Side of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj remaining Word, and His-azwj Conclusive Argument’’. [182]
Abu Khalid Al Zubaly, and Abu Yaqoub Al Zubaly, each one of them said, ‘I met Abu Al-Hassan-asws at Al-Ajfar among the first arrivals to Al-Mahdy (caliph). When he-asws went out, I bade him-asws farewell and I cried. He-asws said to me: ‘What makes you cry? ’ I said, ‘They are taking you and I don’t know what will happen’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘There will be no problem upon me-asws from him in this direction of mine, nor is he my-asws companion, and I-asws shall be returning to Al-Hijaz, and would be passing by you in this place, returning. So wait for me during such and such day, during such and such time, for you shall meet me (when I-asws) return’. I said to him-asws, ‘Good is the news. I had feared upon you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Do not fear’. I lied in wait for that time in that place. When I was at the wilderness having come, a caller called out from behind me. I went to him and it was Abu Al-Hassan-asws upon a mule of his-asws. He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Khalid! ’ I said, ‘At your-asws service, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Finished you-asws from their hands’. He-asws said: ‘But, there is an appointment for me-asws to them. I-asws am not finished from their hands’’. [183]
Yaqoub Al Sarraj said, ‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws and he-asws was standing by the head of Abu Al-Hassan-asws while he-asws was in the cradle. He-asws went on to cheer him-asws for a long time. He-asws said to me: ‘Come closer to your Master-asws’. I went near and greeted unto him-asws. He-asws responded the greetings to me with an eloquent tongue, then said; ‘Go and change the name of your daughter whom you had named yesterday, for it is a name Hated by Allah-azwj’. And a daughter had been born for me and I had named her as so and so (Humeyra). Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘End to his-asws orders, you will be rightly guided’. I changed her name’’. [184]
Explanation – In (the book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – ‘I had named her as ‘Al-Humeyra’’.
