hadith 9
8. Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) says: There is nothing more rewarding than the testimony of ‘There is no God except Allah’ because Allah has not appointed anything equal to it and there is no partner of Allah in this matter.
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِی حَمْزَهَ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع یَقُولُ مَا مِنْ شَیْ ءٍ أَعْظَمَ ثَوَاباً مِنْ شَهَادَهِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی لَا یَعْدِلُهُ شَیْ ءٌ وَ لَا یَشْرَکُهُ فِی الْأَمْرِ أَحَدٌ.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ahmad ibn Hilal from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Hashimiy from his father who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the site of al-Ka‘bah was a white mount of land that shone like the sun and moon until one of the sons of Adam killed the other son of Adam, and thereafter it turned black. When Adam descended, Allah then raised the whole earth for him until he saw it. He then said, ‘This is all for you. He then asked, ‘Lord, what is this white land that shines?’ He replied, ‘That is (in) My land. I have made it obligatory upon you to walk around it seven hundred times every day.’”

(1) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ahmad bin Mabindath from Ahmad bin Hilal from Muhammad bin Abu Omayr from Abul Maghra from Abu Baseer that Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) had said
“When Imam Ali (as) met with the people of Basra (in the battle of al-Jamal-the camel), he raised the banner of the Prophet (S) and their (people of Basra’s) legs began to shake. They were so until before the sunset when they said: “O ibn Abu Talib, safeguard!” Then Imam Ali (as) said to his army: “Do not kill the captives. Do not finish off the wounded. Do not follow after the fleers. Whoever lays down his arms is to be safe and whoever closes his door (stays at home) is to be safe.” When the battle of Siffeen broke out, Imam Ali’s companions insisted on him to raise the banner of the Prophet (S) but he refused. They sent to him his two sons al-Hasan and al-Husayn (as) and his close companion Ammar bin Yassir as mediators. He said to al-Hasan: “O my son, the people have a term that they must reach. No one is to raise this banner after me except al-Qa’im (as).”
1 - حدثنا محمد بن همام قال: حدثنا أحمد بن مابنداذ، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن هلال، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن أبي المغرا، عن أبي بصير قال
قال أبو عبد الله: لما التقى أمير المؤمنين وأهل البصرة نشر الراية؛ راية رسول الله ، فزلزلت أقدامهم فما أصفرت الشمس حتى قالوا: آمنا يا بن أبي طالب، فعند ذلك قال: لا تقتلوا الأسرى ولا تجهزوا الجرحى ولا تتبعوا مولياً، ومن ألقى سلاحه فهو آمن ومن أغلق بابه فهو آمن. ولما كان يوم صفين سألوه نشر الراية فأبى عليهم، فتحمّلوا عليه بالحسن والحسين وعمار بن ياسر ، فقال للحسن: يا بنيّ، إن للقوم مدة يبلغونها، وإن هذه راية لا ينشرها بعدي إلاّ القائم صلوات الله عليه.

(2) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ahmad bin Mabindath from Ahmad bin Hilal from Abu Malik al-Hadhrami from Abu as-Safatij that Abu Baseer had said
“I said to one of them-Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) or Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): “Can this matter (imamate) be entrusted to one, who is not adult yet?” He said: “It will be so.” I said: “How does he (the young imam) act?” He said: “Allah grants him with knowledge and wisdom and does not make him follow his fancies.”

(4) Muhammad bin Hammam narrated from Ahmad bin Mabindath from Ahmad bin Hilal from Iss’haq bin Sabah that Imam Abul Hasan ar-Redha (as) had said
“The imamate will be entrusted to one, who is so young and obscure.” The infallible imams (as) have confirmed that al-Qa’im (as) will be entrusted with the imamate while he is too young yet and that his mention is so obscure to the most of people. None of the other imams has been entrusted with the imamate when he is as young as al-Mahdi (aj). When they mention that he is the obscurest one among them, they refer to his disappearance and that his news will be unknown by people. The traditions about this concern are too many, true and current. Doubting this matter must be away from the minds of the believers, whom Allah has guided and lit their hearts.

I asked Al-Ridha (s), ‘Will the Earth be left without a Proof?’ The Imam (s) said, ‘No. If the Earth is left without a Proof for even a moment, it will take in all its residents.’”

30-14 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Abdullah ibn Ja’far ibn Jami’a al-Hemyari quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Hilal al-Abrata’ee that Al-Hassan ibn Mahboob said, “
Abil Hassan Al-Ridha (s) told me, ‘There will be a terrible sedition which will cause the cessation of any family ties and friendships. That will be when the Shiites lose my third descendant. At that time all the residents of the heavens and the Earth will cry, and all the fervent men and women plus all the sad people will shed tears.’ The Imam (s) then added, ‘May my father and mother be the ransom for him who has the same name as my grandfather and is similar to Moses - the son of Imran (s). He will be covered with brilliant coverings from which the light of bright holy rays will radiate. There will be many fervent women and sad men thirsty for that delicious water! It is as if I can see them completely hopeless of finding him, when a voice from afar will be heard as if it is from nearby. It will say, ‘He is the Mercy upon the believers and the Chastisement upon the atheists.’”

hadith 989
10-17 My father, may God be pleased with him, narrated to us, he said: Saʿd b. ʿAbd Allāh narrated to us, from Aḥmad b. Hilāl, from Umayyah b. ʿAlī, from ʿAbd Allāh b. al-Mughīrah, from Sulaymān b. Khālid, from Abū Jaʿfar (ʿas), who said that the
Messenger of God (ṣ) said, “God - Mighty and Exalted - has not been worshipped by anything better than Intellect. A believer does not possess Intellect until ten qualities are gathered in them; one may count on their good while being safe from their evil. They consider the little good of others as abundant, while counting their own abundant good as little. They never become averse to acquiring knowledge throughout their entire life, nor do they tire of the needs brought before them by others. Humiliation is more beloved to them than honour, and poverty more beloved to them than wealth. Their lot from this world is meager provisions. As for the tenth quality, and could you bear the tenth quality? It is that they should see none save that they say, 'they are better and more pious than I am.' For there are but two classes of people. Either a person is better and more pious than them, or they are worse and more base. When they see the one who is better and more pious, they should be humble before him to catch up to his rank. And when they meet someone worse and more base, they say, 'perhaps their goodness is hidden, and evil apparent, but maybe their end will be good.' When the believer has done this, their reputation will soar, and they will become prominent among the people of their time.”
10-17 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن هلال عن امية بن علي، عن عبد الله بن المغيرة، عن سليمان بن خالد، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لم يعبد الله عز وجل بشـيءأفضل من العقل، ولا يكون المؤمن عاقلا حتى يجتمع فيه عشر خصال: الخير منه مأمول، والشر منه مأمون، يستكثر قليل الخير ممن غيره، ويستقل كثير الخيرمن نفسه، ولايسأم من طلب العلم طول عمره، ولا يتبرم بطلاب الحوائج قبله، الذل أحب إليه من العز، والفقر أحب إليه من الغنى، نصيبه من الدنيا القوت، والعاشرة وما العاشرة لايرى أحدا إلا قال هو خير مني وأتقى، إنما الناس رجلان فرجل هو خير منه وأتقى، وآخر هو شر منه وأدنى، فاذا رأى من هو خير منه وأتقى تواضع له ليلحق به، وإذا لقى الذي هو شر منه وأدنى قال: عسى خير هذا باطن وشره ظاهر، وعسى أن يختم له بخير، فاذا فعل ذلك فقد علا مجده، وساد أهل زمانه
Notes
"والفقر أحب إليه من الغنى" ("and poverty more beloved to him than wealth") cf. Maʿānī al-Akhbār Ḥadīth #314. Abū Dharr (ra) famously said, "Poverty is more beloved to me than wealth." Tārīkh Madīnat Dimashq vol. 13 pg. 253 records: محمد بن يزيد المبرد قال قيل للحسن بن علي أن أبا ذر يقول الفقر احب الي من الغنى والسقم أحب الي من الصحة فقال رحم الله أبا ذر أما أنا اقول فمن اتكل على حسن اختيار الله له لم يتمن انه في غير الحالة التي اختار الله تعالى له وهذا حد الوقوف على الرضا بما يصرف به القضاء" Muḥammad b. Yazīd al-Mubarrad said: it was said to al-Ḥasan b. ʿAlī (ʿas) that Abū Dharr would say, "Poverty is more beloved to me than wealth, and sickness is more beloved to me than health." He (ʿas) said, "May God have mercy on Abū Dharr. As for myself, I say that whoever relies on the best of God's choice for him will never want to be in any state other than the one God Almighty has chosen for him. This is the ultimate extent of satisfaction with what Divine Decree issues forth for him." Vid. al-Dhahabī, Siyar Aʿlām al-Nubalāʾ vol. 3 pg. 263; Ibn Kathīr, al-Bidāyah wa al-Nihāyah vol. 11 pg. 200; al-Qushayrī, al-Risālah al-Qushayriyyah vol. 2 pg. 345; al-Sayyid al-Marʿashī al-Najafī, Sharḥ Iḥqāq al-Ḥaqq vol. 19 pg. 354-55 citing Mirʾāt al-Muʾminīn & Wasīlat al-Najāh citing al-Ṣawāʿiq al-Muḥriqah; Ibn al-Qayyim, Madārij al-Sālikīn vol. 2 pg. 177; al-Ṣāliḥī, Subul al-Hudā vol. 11 pg. 70; Ibn Abī al-Ḥadīd, Sharḥ Nahj al-Balāghah vol. 3 pg. 157; al-Muttaqī al-Hindī, Kanz al-ʿUmmāl pg. 415-6 Hadīth #8538. Cf. a similar narration from the Sixth Imam (ʿas) in Amālī al-Mufīd Ḥadīth #221 and Maʿānī al-Akhbār Ḥadīth #252. Also find recorded a similar statement from Jābir b. ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī (ra), who fell ill and was visited by the Fifth Imam (ʿas). The Imam (ʿas) asked how Jābir fared, to which he responded, يابن رسول الله، أصبحت والمرض أحبُّ اليَّ من الصحّة. والفقر أحبُّ إليَّ من الغنى. والذلُّ أحبَّ إليَّ من العزِّ "O' son of the Messenger of God, I have awoken, and sickness is more beloved to me than health, and poverty more beloved to me than wealth, and humiliation more beloved to me than honour." Al-Sayyid Kāẓim al-Ḥāʾirī records this tradition in his Tazkiyah al-Nafs vol. 1 pg. 520. Rijāl al-Kashī (vol. 1 pg. 533 ḥad. 1018) and al-Kharāʾij (vol. 2 pg. 739 ḥad. 54) have a miracle account from Muḥammad b. Shammūn or Muḥammad b. Maymūn, depending on the recension, though more likely the former (as he was long lived enough to have been able to write to the eleventh Imām (ʿas) while remembering the words of the sixth (ʿas), indicating a reconciliation between him and the Imāms (ʿas), despite the Wāqifī and Ghālī past he is criticized for, and this explains why the family of Imām al-Riḍā (ʿas) supported his), who writes to Imām al-ʿAskarī (ʿas) complaining about poverty while recalling to himself that Imām al-Ṣādiq (ʿas) said: "poverty with us is better than wealth with those other than us, and being killed alongside us is better than life alongside other than us." (الفقر معنا خير من الغنى مع غيرنا والقتل معنا خير من الحياة مع غيرنا) The Imām (ʿas) writes back to Muḥammad with the miraculous knowledge of Muhammad's recollection of this hadith to himself, and explains it and the benefits of poverty for the believers.

the Prophet (S) had said: “Allah the Almighty has chosen a thing from every thing. He has chosen Mecca from the earth, the mosque from Mecca and the place, in which the Kaaba is, from the mosque. He has chosen the females from among the cattle and the ewe from among the sheep. He has chosen Friday from among the days, Ramadan from among the months and the Night of Predestination from among the nights. He has chosen the Hashimites from among the peoples, has chosen me and Ali from among the Hashimites, has chosen al-Hasan and al-Husayn from me and Ali and then He completed the twelve imams from the progeny of al-Husayn. The ninth of them (of al-Husayn’s progeny) is the hidden and the apparent and the best of them. He is the expected imam.” The same was narrated by Muhammad bin Hammam and Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor from al-Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jumhoor from Ahmad bin Hilal from Muhammad bin Abu Omayr from Sa’eed bin Ghazwan from Imam Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as).
7 - أخبرنا محمد بن همام، قال: حدثنا أبي وعبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، قالا: حدثنا أحمد بن هلال، قال حدثني محمد بن أبي عمير سنة أربع ومائتين، قال: حدثني سعيد بن غزوان، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله، عن آبائه قال
قال رسول الله: إن الله إختارَ مِن كلّ شيء شيئاً؛ إختار من الأرض مكةَ، واختار من مكّة المسجدَ، واختار من المسجد الموضعَ الذي فيه الكعبةُ واختار من الأنعام إناثَها ومن الغنم الضأنَ واختار من الأيام يوم الجمعة، واختار من الشهور شهرَ رمضان، ومن الليالي ليلةَ القدر، واختار من الناس بني هاشم، واختارني وعليّاً من بني هاشم، واختار مني ومن عليٍّ الحسنَ والحسين ويكمّله اثني عشر إماماً من ولد الحسين، تاسعهم باطنُهم وهو ظاهرهم وهو أفضلهم وهو قائمهم.

hadith 1198
18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Sa‘d ibn ‘Abdallah from a group of our people from Ahmad ibn Hilal from ’Umayya ibn Ali al-Qaysi who has said that narrated to me Durust ibn Abi Mansur who has said the following
“I once asked Abu al-Hassan (AS), ‘Did the Messenger of Allah receive any authority from Abu Talib (AS)?” The Imam (AS) said, “No, but Abu Talib was the trustee of certain (items) of will that he delivered to the Holy Prophet (SAW).’ I then asked, ‘So Abu Talib delivered the wills to the Holy Prophet because of his authority over him?’ The Imam (AS) said, “If so, he did not have to deliver the wills to him (The Holy Prophet). I then asked, ‘What was the condition of Abu Talib?’ The Imam (AS) replied, ‘He acknowledged the Holy Prophet (SAW) and his divine message, and delivered him the (items of) will and died on that day.’”
18ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلالٍ عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقَيْسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي دُرُسْتُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الاوَّلَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَ
كَانَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَحْجُوجاً بِأَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ لا وَلَكِنَّهُ كَانَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِلْوَصَايَا فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ قُلْتُ فَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصَايَا عَلَى أَنَّهُ مَحْجُوجٌ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَوْ كَانَ مَحْجُوجاً بِهِ مَا دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا كَانَ حَالُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ أَقَرَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ وَبِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ وَدَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْوَصَايَا وَمَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ
النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ لَا يَرُدُّ الطِّيبَ وَ الْحَلْوَاءَ .
