Hadith 994
۞
10-22 My father, may God be pleased with him, narrated to us, he said: ʿAlī b. Ibrāhīm b. Hāshim narrated to us; from his father; from al-Ḥusayn b. al-Ḥasan al-Fārsī; from Sulaymān b. Ḥafṣ al-Baṣrī; from ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Ḥusayn b. Zayd b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn b. ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib (ʿas); from his father; from Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad (ʿas); from his forefathers (ʿas); from ʿAlī (ʿas), who said that the Messenger of God (ṣ) said, "When God - Mighty and Exalted - had finished creating The Garden, and He had created it from two milks - one of gold and one of silver - and made its walls from rubies, its roof from emerald, its stones as pearls, its dust as saffron and fragrant musk, He said to it, 'speak.' It said, '
There is no god except You, the Living, the Constant. Whoever enters me shall rejoice.' God - Mighty and Exalted - answered it, 'by My Might, My Honour, My Splendour, and My Loftiness, never shall enter it one that persisted in drinking alcohol; nor one constantly given to intoxication; nor a calumniator - that is a slanderer; nor a wittol - meaning one without any shame for his household; nor a policeman - meaning a patrolman; nor a hermaphrodite - meaning one of both sexes; nor a graverobber - meaning a tomb raider; nor a tithe-taker; nor one who severs family relations; nor a libertarian rejector of Divine Pre-Destiny.'"
10-22 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه عن الحسين بن الحسن الفارسي، عن سليمان بن حفص البصري، عن عبد الله بـن الحسين بن زيد بن علي بن الحسين بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام، عن أبيه، عن جعفر بن محمد عن آبائه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن الله عز وجل لما خلق الجنة خلقها من لبنتين، لبنة من ذهب ولبنة من فضة، وجعل حيطانها الياقوت، وسقفها الزبرجد، وحصبائها اللؤلؤ، وترابها الزعفران والمسك الاذفر، فقال لها تكلمي، فقالت: لا إله إلا أنت الحي القيوم، قد سعد من يدخلني. فقال عز وجل بعزتي وعظمتي وجلالي وارتفاعي لا يدخلها مدمن خمر، ولاسكير، ولا قتات وهو النمام، ولاديوث وهو القلطبان، ولا قلاع وهو الشرطي، ولا زنوق وهو الخنثى، ولا خيوف وهو النباش، ولا عشار، ولا قاطع رحم، ولا قدري
Notes
Tithe taking, or taking one-tenth of the property or wealth of someone, was a Jāhiliyyah-era practice that was done away with by Islām.
