Hadith 22

(The book) ‘Qabs Al Misbah’ – The Sheykh Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Saqqal informed me at Baghdad in Masjid Al Hazaain, during Rajab of the year four hundred and forty-two. He said, ‘It is narrated to us by the Sheykh Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Al Bahloul Bin Hammam Bin Al Muttalib Al Shaybani on the day of Saturday of the month of Rabbi Al Awwal of the year three hundred and eighty-six at Al Shariqiya who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Abbas Ahmad Bin Kishmard in his house at Baghdad, and our elder Abu Ali Bin Hammam, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, had asked him to mention his state when he had been imprisoned by two stones at Al-Ahsa’a. Abu Al-Abbas narrated to us that he was from the ones captured by Al-Habeer with Abu Al-Heyja’a. He said, ‘And Abu Tahir Suleyman Bin Al-Hassan was honourable to Abu Al-Heyja’a, fascinated by his opinion, and he used to invite him to his meal and have dinner with him, and he would invite him for the discussion with him as well. When it was that night, I asked Abu Al-Heyja’a to flow my mention in the presence of Suleyman Bin Al-Hassan and ask him in freeing me. He answered me to that and went to Abu Al-Tahir during that night upon his norm and returned from him, and he did not meet me, and it used to be from his norm that he would meet me and my friend, meaning Al-Khal, during every night at his return from his meeting with Suleyman Bin Al-Hassan. He would calm our souls and let us know news of the world. When he did not return to us in that evening, despite being with my request to him of addressing my matter, I felt lonely to that. I went to him to his house, named with it, and Abu Al-Heyja’a was righteous in his religion, sincere in his friendship and his leadership, reverent to his brothers. When his eyes fell on me, he cried an intense crying and said for my affection, ‘By Allah-azwj, O Abu Al-Abbas! I have been sick for a whole year and did not flow your mention to him! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And why? ’
He said, ‘Because when I mentioned to him his anger intensified and was more, and he swore by the one he swore with similar to it that he would be ordering me tomorrow morning to strike off your neck with emergence of the sun, and by Allah-azwj, I strive in declining this away from you with every means, and referred to him with every subtlety, but he persisted upon his word, and he repeated his oath that he will do what I have informed you with! ’
He said, ‘Then Abu Al-Heyja’a went on to make my soul feel good, and said, ‘O my brother! Had I not thought that there was a bequest for you or a situation you are needy to mention, I would have folded from you that I have notified you upon of that, and I would have concealed what I have informed you with about it, and along with this, trust with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and be hopeful in what has afflicted you of this harsh situation. He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Mention Shelters and there is no shelter against Him-azwj, and
