Hadith 2023
۞
8. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from certain individuals of his people from al- Khashshab in a marfu’ manner from the Imam (a.s.) who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘I swear by Allah, Khilafat (leadership after the Holy Prophet) will never return to the family of abu Bakr and ‘Umar. It will never return to descendents of ‘Umayyah, and never to the children of Talhah and al-Zubayr. It is because they abandoned the Holy Quran, cancelled the noble traditions, and suspended the laws. The Messenger of Allah has said, “The Holy Quran is guidance against straying, clarification against blindness, stability against wavering, light against darkness, brightness in incidents, protection against destruction, intelligence against temptation, clear statement against mischief, and completion (of aim) in the world to the hereafter. In it there is your perfect religion. Whoever deviates from the Holy Quran is headed to the fire.’”
8ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنِ الْخَشَّابِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) لا وَالله لا يَرْجِعُ الأمْرُ وَالْخِلافَةُ إِلَى آلِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ أَبَداً وَلا إِلَى بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ أَبَداً وَلا فِي وُلْدِ طَلْحَةَ وَالزُّبَيْرِ أَبَداً وَذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ نَبَذُوا الْقُرْآنَ وَأَبْطَلُوا السُّنَنَ وَعَطَّلُوا الأحْكَامَ وَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى مِنَ الضَّلالِ وَتِبْيَانٌ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَاسْتِقَالَةٌ مِنَ الْعَثْرَةِ وَنُورٌ مِنَ الظُّلْمَةِ وَضِيَاءٌ مِنَ الأحْدَاثِ وَعِصْمَةٌ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ وَرُشْدٌ مِنَ الْغَوَايَةِ وَبَيَانٌ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ وَبَلاغٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى الآخِرَةِ وَفِيهِ كَمَالُ دِينِكُمْ وَمَا عَدَلَ أَحَدٌ عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ إِلا إِلَى النَّارِ.
