Hadith 458
۞
(4) Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah bin Younus narrated from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Rabah az-Zuhri from Ahmad bin Ali al-Himyari from al-Hasan bin Ayyoob from Abdul Kareem bin Amr al-Khath’ami that Jama’a as-Sa’igh had said
“I heard al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar asking Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as): “Does Allah impose (upon people) to obey someone and then the divine revelation keeps that secret?” Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said: “Allah is more glorified, merciful and kinder to His people than to impose upon them obeying someone but the divine revelation keeps that secret day and night.” Then his son Abul Hasan Musa (as) appeared. Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said to al-Mufadhdhal: “Would you like to look at the keeper of Imam Ali’s book?” Al-Mufadhdhal said: “And is there anything else that makes me more delighted than this?!” Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) said: “This is the keeper of Ali’s hidden book, about which Allah has said, ‘None shall touch it save the purified ones.’”
4 - أخبرنا عبد الواحد بن عبد الله بن يونس قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن رباح الزهري الكوفي قال: حدثنا أحمد بن علي الحميري قال: حدثني الحسن بن أيوب، عن عبد الكريم بن عمرو الخثعمي، عن جماعة الصائغ قال
سمعت المفضل بن عمر يسأل أبا عبد الله: هل يفرض الله طاعة عبد ثم يكتمه خبر السماء؟ فقال له أبو عبد الله: الله أجل وأكرم وأرأف بعباده وأرحم من أن يفرض طاعة عبد ثم يكتمه خبر السماء صباحاً ومساءً. (قال) ثم طلع أبو الحسن موسى ، فقال له أبو عبد الله: أيسرك أن تنظر إلى صاحب كتاب علي؟ فقال له المفضل: وأي شيء يسرني إذاً أعظم من ذلك. فقال: هو هذا صاحب كتاب علي؛ الكتاب المكنون الذي قال الله لَا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
