3. We were told by
Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Haitham al-‘Ajali, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Abbas, Ahmad bin Yahya bin Zakariya al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by
Bikr bin Abdullah bin Habib, that he said: We were told by Abu Muhammed, Tamim bin Buhlul, from his father, from
Abdullah bin Fadl al-Hashimi, from
Ja’far bin Muhammed, from
his father, from
his grandfather, peace be upon them, that he said
The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him, was, on a day, sitting and with him were Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussain, peace be upon them. Then he said: By He who sent me with the truth as a bearer of glad tidings, there is not on the face of earth any creation more beloved to Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, nor more honored for him, than us. Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, derived for me a name from His Names, and hence, He is the Praised and I am Muhammed. He derived for you, O Ali, a name from His Names, and hence, He is the High , the Most Subleme , and you are Ali. He derived for you, O Hasan, a name from His Names, and hence, He is the Beneficent and you are Hasan. He derived for you, O Hussain, a name from His Names, and hence, He is the One of Good Deeds , and you are Hussain. He derived for you, O Fatima, a name from His Names, and hence, he is the Splitter and you are Fatima. Then he, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: O Allah, I bear You as a witness that I am at peace with those who are at peace with them, at war with those who are at war with them, a hater of those who hate them, an enemy of those who antagonize them and an ally of those who befriend them, because they are from me and I am from them.
