42. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Al-Fazl Bin Ismail Al-Hashimy, from his father who said: ‘I complained to Abu Abdullah (asws) of what I had faced from my family from their taking of their Religion lightly’. So he (asws) said
‘O Ismail, do not abhor that from your family, for Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Made for every family a proof by which He (azwj) will Argue by against his (faithless) family on the Day of Judgement. So He (azwj) will Say to them: “Did you not see so and so among you? Did you not see his guidance among you? Did you not see his Prayers among you? Did you not see his Religion? Did you not follow it? So he will become a proof against them on the Day of Judgement’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَلْقَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مِنِ اسْتِخْفَافِهِمْ بِالدِّينِ فَقَالَ يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ لَا تُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ حُجَّةً يَحْتَجُّ بِهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا فُلَاناً فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا هَدْيَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا صَلَاتَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا دِينَهُ فَهَلَّا اقْتَدَيْتُمْ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةً عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ.
