Hadith 47

(The book) ‘Al Basaair’ – From Abbas Bin Suleyman, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Haroun Bin Al Jahm, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘While Amir Al-Momineen–asws was seated in Masjid Al-Kufa, and he–asws had placed down his–asws sword and thrown its sheath behind his–asws back, when a woman came to him–asws having had antagonised her husband. He–asws judged for the husband and she got angry and said, ‘By Allah–azwj! It is not as you–asws have judged! By Allah–azwj! You–asws have not judged with the fairness, nor are you–asws just among the citizens, nor is your–asws judgment is with the Pleasure in the Presence of Allah–azwj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen–asws was angered. He–asws looked at her for a while, then said: ‘You are lying, O audacious, O evil-tongued, O Salsala (one who does not get impregnated from where the women get impregnated from), O Salf’a, one who does not menstruate like the women’. She turned around fleeing and she was saying, ‘Woe be unto me! Woe be unto me! ’
Amro Bin Haris followed her and said, ‘O maid of Allah–azwj! You have faced Ali Bin Abu Talib–asws with a speech cheering me with it, then he–asws removed you with speech and you turned around fleeing from him–asws, turning around’. He (the narrator) said, ‘She said, ‘O you! This son–asws of Abu Talib–asws informed me, by Allah–azwj, with what is in me. No, by Allah–azwj! I have not seen a menstruation just as the woman tends to see’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Amro Bin Haris returned happily to Amir Al-Momineen–asws and said to him–asws, ‘O son–asws of Abu Talib–asws! What is this sooth-saying? ’
He–asws said: ‘Woe be unto you, O son of Haris! This isn’t a soothsaying from me–asws. Allah–azwj Blessed and Exalted Created the souls before the bodies by two thousand years, then Inscribed between its eyes, ‘Momin’, or ‘kafir’. Then Sent down Quran with that upon Muhammad–saww: Surely, in that are Signs for the distinguishers [15: 75]. Rasool-Allah–saww was from the distinguishers, and I–asws from after him–saww, and the Imams–asws from my–asws offspring’’. [98]
And from him, from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ibrahim Bin Ayoub, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws – similar to it up to his-asws words: ‘He–asws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, O Amro! It isn’t something with divination, but Allah–azwj Created the souls before the bodies by two thousand years. When He–azwj Installed the souls in their bodies, He–azwj Wore between their eyes either, ‘Momin’, or ‘Kafir’, and whatever they would be involved with, and what they would be upon from an evil deed and good deeds, in a measurement of the rat’s ear. Then He–azwj Revealed Quran with that upon His–azwj Prophet–saww. He–azwj Said: Surely, in that are Signs for the distinguishers [15: 75], and Rasool-Allah–saww, he–saww was the distinguisher, then I–asws am from after him–asws, and the Imams–asws from my–asws offspring from after me–asws, they–asws are the distinguishers. When I–asws contemplated her, I–asws recognise what was upon her of her marking’’. [99]
