Hadith 350
۞
Hadith.3564 - Ibn Abi Sa'id al-Mukari entered upon Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) and said to him: "Has Allah (swt) elevated your status to the extent that you claim what your father claims?"
The Imam (as) replied: "What is wrong with you? May Allah (swt) extinguish your light and bring poverty into your house! Do you not know that Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, revealed to Imran, 'I will grant you a son,' and then granted him Maryam instead, and granted Maryam, Isa? Isa is from Maryam, and Maryam is from Isa, and Isa and Maryam are one and the same.
I am from my father, and my father is from me, and I and my father are one and the same."
Then Ibn Abi Sa'id said to Him (as): "Let me ask you a question."
The Imam (as) replied: "I do not think you will accept my answer, for you are not from my followers. But go ahead and ask."
The man said
"What if someone, upon his deathbed, declares that all his old slaves are free for the sake of Allah (swt)?"
The Imam (as) said: "Yes, indeed. Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'until it becomes like the old date stalk' (Surah Ya-Sin 36:39) Thus, any of his slaves who have been with him for six months are considered old and are set free."
The narrator said that Ibn Abi Sa'id left and fell into poverty until he died, without having a shelter to spend the night in. May Allah (swt) curse him!
3564 - وَ دَخَلَ اِبْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ اَلْمُكَارِي عَلَى اَلرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبْلَغَ اَللَّهُ مِنْ قَدْرِكَ أَنْ تَدَّعِيَ مَا يَدَّعِي أَبُوكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ "مَا لَكَ أَطْفَأَ اَللَّهُ نُورَكَ وَ أَدْخَلَ اَلْفَقْرَ بَيْتَكَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوْحَى إِلَى عِمْرَانَ أَنِّي وَاهِبٌ لَكَ ذَكَراً فَوَهَبَ لَهُ مَرْيَمَ وَ وَهَبَ لِمَرْيَمَ عِيسَى ، فَعِيسَى مِنْ مَرْيَمَ وَ مَرْيَمُ مِنْ عِيسَى وَ عِيسَى وَ مَرْيَمُ شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ وَ أَنَا مِنْ أَبِي وَ أَبِي مِنِّي وَ أَنَا وَ أَبِي شَيْءٌ وَاحِدٌ "
فَقَالَ لَهُ اِبْنُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَأَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ فَقَالَ "لاَ إِخَالُكَ تَقْبَلُ مِنِّي وَ لَسْتَ مِنْ غَنَمِي وَ لَكِنْ هَلُمَّهَا"
فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ قَالَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ كُلُّ مَمْلُوكٍ لِي قَدِيمٍ فَهُوَ حُرٌّ لِوَجْهِ اَللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ "نَعَمْ إِنَّ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ:
حَتّٰى عٰادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ اَلْقَدِيمِ
فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ مَمَالِيكِهِ أَتَى لَهُ سِتَّةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَهُوَ قَدِيمٌ حُرٌّ" قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَ اِفْتَقَرَ حَتَّى مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَبِيتُ لَيْلَةٍ لَعَنَهُ اَللَّهُ.
