2. We were told by Muhammed bin Ali Majilawayh, may Allah be pleased with him, from his uncle, Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasim, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from Abul-Hasan, Ali bin Hussain al-Raqqi, from Abdullah bin Jabala, from Mu’awiya bin Ammar, from al-Hasan bin Abdullah, from his fathers, from his grandfather, al-Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Talib, (a.s.) that he said
Some individuals of the Jews came to the Messenger of Allah, (saww) and their most knowledgeable asked him, and among what he asked him is that he said to him: For what thing were you named Muhammed, Ahmad, Abul-Qasim, Bearer of glad tidings, Warner and a Caller? Then the Prophet (saww) said: 'As for Muhammed, then indeed, I am praised on earth. As for Ahmad, then indeed, I am praised in Heaven. As for Abul-Qasim, then indeed, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, will divide the Day of Resurrection into the division of the Fire, and those who disbelieve in me from the first and the last shall be in the Fire, and He will make the division of Paradise, and those who believe in me and acknowledge my Prophethood shall be in Paradise. As for the Caller, then indeed, I call the people to the Religion of my Lord, Exalted and Glorious is He. As for the Warner, then indeed, I warn of the Fire to those who disobey me. As for the Bearer of glad tidings, then indeed, I give glad tidings of Paradise to those who obey me.'"
حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه - رضي الله عنه - عن عمه محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن أبي الحسن علي بن الحسين الرقي، عن عبد الله بن جبلة، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن الحسن بن عبد الله، عن آبائه، عن جده الحسن بن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام، قال
جاء نفر من اليهود إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فسأله أعلمهم وكان فيما سأله، أن قال له: لأي شئ سميت محمدا، وأحمد، وأبا القاسم، بشيرا، ونذيرا، وداعيا؟ فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: أما محمد فإني محمود في الأرض، وأما أحمد فإني محمود في السماء، وأما أبو القاسم فإن الله عز وجل يقسم يوم القيامة قسمة النار فمن كفر بي من الأولين والآخرين ففي النار، ويقسم قسمة الجنة فمن آمن بي وأقر بنبوتي ففي الجنة، وأما الداعي فإني أدعو الناس إلى دين ربي عز وجل، وأما النذير فإني أنذر بالنار من عصاني، وأما البشير فإني ابشر بالجنة من أطاعني.
