Hadith 1369
۞
2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and a number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad all from ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from abu Hamza from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following
“We have found in the book of the Messenger of Allah the following: after my leaving this world when fornication will turn out to be apparent among people, sudden death will take place more frequently. When weighing and measurement will become light, people will face famine and shortages of livelihood. When they deny paying al-Zakat (charity) the land will deny them its blessings of all of its farming, fruits and minerals. When people become unjust in their judgment, they will cooperate in injustice and animosity. When they disregard their covenant, Allah will make their enemies dominate them. When they fail to maintain good relations with relatives, properties will go in the hands of evildoers. When people stop commanding the fulfillment of obligations and prohibiting the unlawful matters and do not follow the virtuous people of my family, Allah will make their evil people dominate them. Their virtuous ones will pray but their prayers will not be heard.”
2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) إِذَا ظَهَرَ الزِّنَا مِنْ بَعْدِي كَثُرَ مَوْتُ الْفَجْأَةِ وَإِذَا طُفِّفَ الْمِكْيَالُ وَالْمِيزَانُ أَخَذَهُمُ الله بِالسِّنِينَ وَالنَّقْصِ وَإِذَا مَنَعُوا الزَّكَاةَ مَنَعَتِ الأرْضُ بَرَكَتَهَا مِنَ الزَّرْعِ وَالثِّمَارِ وَالْمَعَادِنِ كُلَّهَا وَإِذَا جَارُوا فِي الأحْكَامِ تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الظُّلْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَإِذَا نَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ سَلَّطَ الله عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ وَإِذَا قَطَّعُوا الأرْحَامَ جُعِلَتِ الأمْوَالُ فِي أَيْدِي الأشْرَارِ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَأْمُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَمْ يَنْهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلَمْ يَتَّبِعُوا الأخْيَارَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي سَلَّطَ الله عَلَيْهِمْ شِرَارَهُمْ فَيَدْعُوا خِيَارُهُمْ فَلا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ.
