24. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Ayyub from abu Hamzah al-Thumafiy who has said the following
“A man once said to Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), ‘You have given up Jihad because it is harsh, but you have attached yourself to Hajj because it is comfortable.’ He (the Imam) who was leaning sat up straight and said, ‘Fie upon you. Have you not heard what the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, said during his farewell pilgrimage during his stay in ‘Arafat, and it was about sunset. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘O Bilal, ask people to remain silent.’ When people became silent the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Your Lord has granted you favors on this day. He has granted forgiveness to the individuals of good deeds, and has made the ones of good deed to intercede for the ones of evil deeds. You can leave now with your sins forgiven.’ Narrators other than abu Hamzah al-Thumaliy have mentioned that the Imam additionally said, ‘Except those who are of individuals of al-Tabi‘at (acts that require investigation).’ Allah is just. He brings to justice the stronger ones who wrong the weaker ones. On the night of al-Jam‘ he continued quietly speaking to his Lord and asked Him for forgiveness for the individuals of al-Tabi‘at. When he stayed in Jam‘ he said to Bilal. ‘You should ask people to remain silent.’ When people became silent he (the Messenger of Allah) said, ‘Your Lord has granted you favors on this day. He has forgiven the individuals of good deeds among you. He has made the individuals of good deeds among you to intercede on behalf of the individuals of evil deeds. You now may leave with your sins forgiven and He has made an undertaking in favor of the individuals of al- Tabi‘at (people liable for the rights of others) to be happy with them.’”
24ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ
قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) تَرَكْتَ الْجِهَادَ وَخُشُونَتَهُ وَلَزِمْتَ الْحَجَّ وَلِينَهُ قَالَ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئاً فَجَلَسَ وَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا وَقَفَ بِعَرَفَةَ وَهَمَّتِ الشَّمْسُ أَنْ تَغِيبَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا بِلالُ قُلْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْيُنْصِتُوا فَلَمَّا نَصَتُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَغَفَرَ لِمُحْسِنِكُمْ وَشَفَّعَ مُحْسِنَكُمْ فِي مُسِيئِكُمْ فَأَفِيضُوا مَغْفُوراً لَكُمْ قَالَ وَزَادَ غَيْرُ الثُّمَالِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِلاَّ أَهْلَ التَّبِعَاتِ فَإِنَّ الله عَدْلٌ يَأْخُذُ لِلضَّعِيفِ مِنَ الْقَوِيِّ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ جَمْعٍ لَمْ يَزَلْ يُنَاجِي رَبَّهُ وَيَسْأَلُهُ لأَهْلِ التَّبِعَاتِ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ بِجَمْعٍ قَالَ لِبِلالٍ قُلْ لِلنَّاسِ فَلْيُنْصِتُوا فَلَمَّا نَصَتُوا قَالَ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَطَوَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَغَفَرَ لِمُحْسِنِكُمْ وَشَفَّعَ مُحْسِنَكُمْ فِي مُسِيئِكُمْ فَأَفِيضُوا مَغْفُوراً لَكُمْ وَضَمِنَ لأَهْلِ التَّبِعَاتِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ الرِّضَا.
