God Addressed Moses with One-Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Words

Indeed the Honorable the Exalted God addressed Moses (MGB) with one-hundred twenty-four thousand words during a period of three days and nights. Moses neither ate nor did he drink anything during these three days and nights. Having felt the sweetness of the Honorable the Exalted God’s speech in his ears, he felt human speech was bad upon his return to the Children of Israel.”

Ali (MGB) said, ‘The Prophet (MGB) told me one-thousand traditions each of which would produce another thousand traditions until the Prophet (MGB) and I both sweat so much that our perspiration wetted each other.”

God’s Prophet (MGB) taught me one-thousand gates to the forbidden and the legitimate, what has been and what shall come all the way up until the Resurrection Day. Each of these gates opened one-thousand gates, so that they turned into one million gates. Thus, I acquired the knowledge of deaths, calamities and the Divine Decrees.”

The people were standing still outside the door until Ali (MGB) came out. A man asked him (MGB), ‘Did God’s Prophet (MGB) disclose any secrets to you?’ Ali (MGB) replied, ‘Yes. The Prophet (MGB) disclosed to me one-thousand gates each of which opens up to another one-thousand gates.’ The man said, ‘Did you memorize them?’ Ali (MGB) replied, ‘Yes. Moreover I understood them.’ The man asked, ‘What is the blackness that is in the moon?’ Ali (MGB) replied, ‘Indeed the Honorable the Exalted God said, ‘We have made the Night and the Day as two(of Our) Signs: the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years: all things have We explained in detail.’’ The man told him, ‘O Ali! You truly understood it.’”

“I asked Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB), ‘How much of one’s obligatory prayers must be compensated for if a person goes into a coma for one, two, three, four or more days?’ The Imam (MGB) replied, ‘I will give you a general instruction which covers this subject and whatever else of a similar nature. In any issue in which God prevents His servants from doing their duty, God accepts His servant’s excuse.’”Other narrators of this tradition have added that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) added, “’This is from those chapters which result in one-thousand chapters. This is one of the gates which opens up to one-thousand gates.”

God’s Prophet (MGB) taught Ali (MGB) one-thousand chapters each of which of which can open another one-thousand chapters. Bakir says, “Some of our companions went to the see Aba Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) and repeatedly inquired about (the validity of) this narration. It became clear that Salim (of Salim ibn Abi Hafasa) had told the truth. Bakir added, “The person who had heard this narration from Aba Ja’far al-Baqir (MGB) narrated it for me. He (MGB) had said, ‘Out of these one-thousand chapters no more than one or two chapters has reached the people’s hands.’ More likely he (MGB) had said, ‘Only one chapter has reached the people’s hands.’”

We will amuse ourselves here and move on Wednesday and join the Commander of the Faithful Ali (as) before he says the Friday prayers. While they were eating lunch, they saw a lizard. They hunted the lizard and Amr ibn Harith took it by hand, opened his palm and jokingly said, ‘This is the Commander of the Faithful! Pledge allegiance to him.’ Those seven individuals pledged allegiance to the lizard and Amr ibn Harith himself was the eighth person who pledged allegiance to the lizard. They returned on Wednesday night and arrived at Madaen on Friday. They did not disperse and were all together. The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (as) was delivering the Friday prayer sermon at the mosque. Once they came into the mosque, Ali (as) looked at them and said, “O people! God’s Prophet (sw) disclosed one-thousand narrations to me each of which has one-thousand gates each of which has one-thousand keys. I heard God - may His Majesty be Exalted - say, ‘One day We shall call together all human beings with their (respective) Imams…’ I swear by God that there will be eight people who shall be resurrected with their leader which will be a lizard. I could name them one by one for you if I wish.”Asbaq added, “I saw that Amr ibn Harith had become so sorry and ashamed that he held his head down just like a date palm branch.”

There is a lot of knowledge in my heart which God’s Prophet (MGB) has taught me. I would have taught it to others if I could have found people who were trustworthy enough. I would have taught them so that they may acquire some knowledge since this knowledge is the key to every gate and each gate opens up to another thousand gates.”

That is why I did not inform you. However, the reason I put my head near his ear was because the Prophet (MGB) taught me one-thousand letters each of which would explain one-thousand other letters.

Three-hundred and thirteen people (companions of the RiserAl-Mahdi (MGB)) will soon come to your mosque - that is in Mecca.

On each sword a word is illustrated that would open up to one-thousand words. A wind will blow in each valley and proclaim that this is Mehdi - the Savior (MGB).
