29. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that ’Amir al-Mu 5 minin was asked about ‘Isaf and Na’ilah, which Quraysh worshipped. He (the Imam) said, ‘They were two fair looking young persons and one of them had feminine signs. They were performing Tawaf around the House. It happened that there was no one in the House. One of them acted indecently toward the other and they both changed in a metamorphosis process. Quraysh then said, ‘Had it not been for Allah’s happiness that people worship them along with Him, He would not cause metamorphosis process to change them as such . ‘“
29ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
سُئِلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَنْ إِسَافٍ وَنَائِلَةَ وَعِبَادَةِ قُرَيْشٍ لَهُمَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كَانَا شَابَّيْنِ صَبِيحَيْنِ وَكَانَ بِأَحَدِهِمَا تَأْنِيثٌ وَكَانَا يَطُوفَانِ بِالْبَيْتِ فَصَادَفَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ خَلْوَةً فَأَرَادَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ فَفَعَلَ فَمَسَخَهُمَا الله فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لَوْ لا أَنَّ الله رَضِيَ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ هَذَانِ مَعَهُ مَا حَوَّلَهُمَا عَنْ حَالِهِمَا.
