Hadith 319
۞
Muhammad b. `Ali Majiluwayh (rh) narrated to us. He said: My uncle Muhammad b. Abi’l Qasim narrated to me from Ahmad b. Hilal from al-Fadl b. Dakin from Mu`ammar b. Rashid. He said
I heard Aba `Abdillah al-Sadiq (as) say: A Jew came to the Prophet (sw) and stood in front of him, staring at him. So, he said: “O Jew! What do you need?” He said: “Are you more virtuous or Musa the son of Imran, the prophet whom Allah spoke to, who was given the Torah and the staff, for whom the sea was split, and who was shaded by the cloud?” So, the Prophet (sw) said to him: “It is disliked for a servant to praise himself, but I will say:
When Adam (as) made the mistake, he repented by saying: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to forgive me.’ So, Allah pardoned it for him.
When Nuh (as) boarded the Ark and feared drowning, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to save me from drowning.’ So, Allah saved him from that.
When Ibrahim (as) was thrown into the fire, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to deliver me from this.’ So, Allah made it cool and peaceful.
When Musa (as) cast his staff and felt fear in himself, he said: ‘O Allah! I ask You by the right of Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad to keep me safe from this.’ So, Allah said: ‘Fear not. Surely, it is you who is superior.’ (20:68) O Jew! [Even] if Moses were to meet me and disbelieve in me and my prophethood, his faith would not avail him at all, nor would his prophethood avail him.
O Jew! From my progeny is the Mahdi. When he appears, Jesus the son of Mary will descend to support him, and he will pray behind him.”

4 - حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه (رحمه الله)، قال حدثني عمي محمد ابن أبي القاسم، عن أحمد بن هلال، عن الفضل بن دكين، عن معمر بن راشد، قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله الصادق (عليه السلام): يقول: أتى يهودي النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فقام بين يديه يحد النظر إليه، فقال: يا يهودي، ما حاجتك؟ قال: أنت أفضل أم موسى بن عمران النبي الذي كلمه الله، وأنزل عليه التوراة والعصا، وفلق له البحر، وأظله بالغمام؟ فقال له النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله): إنه يكره للعبد أن يزكي نفسه، ولكني أقول: إن آدم (عليه السلام) لما أصاب الخطيئة كانت توبته أن قال: اللهم إني أسألك بحق محمد وآل محمد، لما غفرت لي، فغفرها الله له، وإن نوحا (عليه السلام) لما ركب في السفينة وخاف الغرق، قال: اللهم إني أسألك بحق محمد وآل محمد، لما أنجيتني من الغرق. فنجاه الله منه، وإن إبراهيم (عليه السلام): لما ألقي في النار قال: اللهم إني أسألك بحق محمد وآل محمد، لما أنجيتني منها: فجعلها الله عليه بردا وسلاما، وإن موسى (عليه السلام) لما ألقى عصاه وأوجس في نفسه خيفة قال: اللهم إني أسألك بحق محمد وآل محمد، لما أمنتني منها. فقال الله جل جلاله: (لا تخف إنك أنت الاعلى) (2). يا يهودي: إن موسى لو أدركني ثم لم يؤمن بي وبنبوتي، ما نفعه إيمانه شيئا، ولا نفعته النبوة. يا يهودي، ومن ذريتي المهدي، إذا خرج نزل عيسى بن مريم لنصرته، فقدمه وصلى خلفه (1).
