9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Amr ibn Aban from ‘Isa ibn abu Mansur who has said the following
“Once ibn abu Ya’fur, ‘Abd Allah ibn Talha and I were in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who on his own initiation said, ‘O ibn abu Ya’fur, the Messenger of Allah has said, “There are six things that if found in a person, he will be before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, to the right of Allah (to the right of the Throne of Allah).”’ Ibn abu Ya’fur then asked, ‘What are those things, may Allah keep my soul in service for your cause?’ The Imam said, ‘A man must love for his Muslim brother what he loves for the most beloved person of his family and dislike for his Muslim brother what he dislikes for the most beloved person of his family and enlighten him in Walayah (the position of people who possess Divine Authority).’ Ibn abu Ya’fur then wept and asked, ‘How does he enlighten about Walayah r T The Imam said, ‘O ibn abu Ya’fur, if he is of the same level (of belief), he should encourage him, show happiness in his happiness and express sadness if he is sad. If he has the means to facilitate him he should do so if not he should pray to Allah for him. ’ “The narrator has said that Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) then said, ‘Three things are for you and three things are for us. What is for us is that you must learn about our excellent merits, follow our footsteps and wait for our end results (Divine Kingdom) to take place. Whoever has these facts will be before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, and those below them will receive light from their light. On seeing those who will be to the right of Allah, the ones below will not feel happy because of the enviable merits of the persons above.’ Ibn abu Ya’fur then asked, ‘How is it that they will not see when they are on the right of Allah?’ The Imam said, ‘O ibn abu Ya’fur, they are veiled with the light of Allah. Are you not aware of the Hadith that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Allah has a creature on the right of the Throne before Allah and on the right of Allah their faces are whiter than snow and brighter than the sun of the midday. Someone asks, ‘Who are they?’ It will be said, ‘These are the ones who loved each other in the Glory of Allah.’”
9ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَا وَابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَعَبْدُ الله بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) سِتُّ خِصَالٍ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَعَنْ يَمِينِ الله فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَمَا هُنَّ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لأخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لأعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ وَيَكْرَهُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لأخِيهِ مَا يَكْرَهُ لأعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ وَيُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلايَةَ فَبَكَى ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَقَالَ كَيْفَ يُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلايَةَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِذَا كَانَ مِنْهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ بَثَّهُ هَمَّهُ فَفَرِحَ لِفَرَحِهِ إِنْ هُوَ فَرِحَ وَحَزِنَ لِحُزْنِهِ إِنْ هُوَ حَزِنَ وَإِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُفَرِّجُ عَنْهُ فَرَّجَ عَنْهُ وَإِلا دَعَا الله لَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) ثَلاثٌ لَكُمْ وَثَلاثٌ لَنَا أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا فَضْلَنَا وَأَنْ تَطَئُوا عَقِبَنَا وَأَنْ تَنْتَظِرُوا عَاقِبَتَنَا فَمَنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَيَسْتَضِي‏ءُ بِنُورِهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الله فَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ يَرَاهُمْ مَنْ دُونَهُمْ لَمْ يَهْنِئْهُمُ الْعَيْشُ مِمَّا يَرَوْنَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَمَا لَهُمْ لا يَرَوْنَ وَهُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِ الله فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِنَّهُمْ مَحْجُوبُونَ بِنُورِ الله أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ الْحَدِيثُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لله خَلْقاً عَنْ يَمِينِ الْعَرْشِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الله وَعَنْ يَمِينِ الله وُجُوهُهُمْ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَأَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الضَّاحِيَةِ يَسْأَلُ السَّائِلُ مَا هَؤُلاءِ فَيُقَالُ هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ تَحَابُّوا فِي جَلالِ الله.
