Hadith 151
۞
3. He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-Za’farani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Abu Amru Hafs ibn Umar al-Farra, who reported from Zaid ibn al-Hasan al-Anmati, from Ma’roof ibn Kharrabuz, who said
I heard Abu Ubaidullah, the client of al-Abbas reporting to Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon him, saying: I heard Abu Saeed al-Khudari say: The last sermon addressed by the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, was the one addressed to us during the illness in which he died. He came out leaning upon ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib peace be upon him, and his maid Maymoonah. He sat on the pulpit and said: "O people! I am leaving behind among you two weighty things." Then he remained silent. A man stood up and said: "O messenger of Allah! What are these two weighty things?" The Prophet was upset till his face turned red and then it subsided. He said: "I did not mention them except with an intention to inform you, but you were in a haste, so I could not. It is a medium whose one end is with Allah, and the other end is in your hands, with whom you will do such a such thing. Be it known; they are the Qur’an and the smaller weighty thing, my Ahlul Bayt." Then he said: "By Allah, I am saying this to you while I pin more hope on the unborn progeny of the infidels than upon most of you." And then he said: "By Allah, whoever loves them, Allah will bless them with a light on the Day of Judgement, till they arrive near me at the Pool. And whoever hates them, Allah will keep them away from Him on the Day of Judgement." Abu Ja’far said: "Surely, Abu Ubaidullah has brought to us that of which he is aware."
3 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن علي بن محمد الكاتب قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي الزعفراني قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن محمد الثقفي قال: حدثني أبو عمرو حفص بن عمر الفرا قال: حدثنا زيد بن الحسن الأنماطي ، عن معروف ابن خربوذ قال
سمعت أبا عبيد الله مولى العباس يحدث أبا جعفر محمد بن علي عليهما السلام قال: سمعت أبا سعيد الخدري يقول: إن آخر خطبة خطبنا بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لخطبة خطبنا في مرضه الذي توفي فيه، خرج متوكئا على علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام وميمونة مولاته، فجلس على المنبر، ثم قال: يا أيها الناس إني تارك فيكم الثقلين وسكت، فقام رجل فقال: يا رسول الله ما هذان الثقلان؟ فغضب حتى احمر وجهه ثم سكن، وقال: ما ذكرتهما إلا وأنا أريد أن أخبركم بهما ولكن ربوت فلم أستطع، سبب طرفه بيد الله وطرف بأيديكم، تعملون فيه كذا وكذا ، ألا وهو القرآن والثقل الأصغر أهل بيتي، ثم قال: وأيم الله إني لأقول لكم هذا ورجال في أصلاب أهل الشرك أرجى عندي من كثير منكم، ثم قال: والله لا يحبهم عبد إلا أعطاه الله نورا يوم القيامة حتى يرد علي الحوض، ولا يبغضهم عبد إلا احتجب الله عنه يوم القيامة. فقال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: إن أبا عبيد الله يأتينا بما يعرف .
