حريز بن عبد الله السجستاني

Hadith.2332 - In a narration from Hariz ibn Abdullah, from him (Imam Abu Abdullah (as)): "It is not appropriate to enter the Haram with a weapon unless it is placed in a sack or concealed - meaning, the blade should be wrapped in something."

“The angel does not write down except that which he hears. Allah, to Whom belong might and majesty, said: Remember your Lord inwardly, in humility and awe… (Q7:205). Indeed, no one knows the reward of that remembrance within the heart of a servant other than Allah, the Exalted.”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if it becomes difficult for one of you, you should inform your brother (in belief) while you are unable to help yourself.”

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Islam is founded on five isssues. It is founded on Salat (prayer), zakat, al-Hajj, Fasting and al-Wilayat (belief in Divine Authority of ’A’immah). The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Fasting is a shield against the fire of hell.”

“Someone asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about fasting on Wednesday. The Imam said, ’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, created hellfire on Wednesday; for this reason there is fasting to seek refuge thereby from the fire.’””

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One fasting or while in the state of Ihram must not immerse his head in water.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a fasting person is afraid about the illness of his eyes, he is allowed to eat.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, named a people ‘disobedient’ when they fasted when he stopped fasting and reduced his Salat (prayer).’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘They are disobedient till this day and will remain so till the Day of Judgment. I know their children and the children of their children up to this, our day.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim has stated this Hadith. ‘The milk, that kind of milk which is drawn first, eggs, hairs, wool, horns, teeth, hooves and everything separated from sheep and the stumper is clean but if you take such things after the animal dies then wash it and perform Salat (prayer) with it.’”

Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, prohibited eating fresh (raw) meat and said that beasts eat fresh meat, thus it must be used for food only after it is changed by sun or fire.’”

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said that Amir al- Mu’minin issued a judgment in Yemen about a people on whom a house had collapsed and only two children were left, of whom one was owned and the other was free. He (the Imam) by means of raffle gave the assets to the one whose name came out and set the other one free.’”

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Accompany someone like yourself. Do not accompany one who suffices you; it is humiliation for a believing person.’”

“Once, a group of our people performed al-Hajj, and when they arrived in al-Madinah, went to visit abu Ja‘far (a.s.). They said that Zurarah has told them to commence their al-Hajj upon assuming the state of Ihram. He (the Imam) said, ‘You must perform al-Hajj al-Tamattu‘ (advantageous).’ When they left I went to see him (the Imam) and said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, if you do not tell them what you have told to Zurarah, we will go to al- Kufah and will prove him a liar. He (the Imam) said, ‘Call them back. They came back and he (the Imam) said, ‘What Zurarah has said is true.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘By Allah, from this day on no one will hear this from me.’”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘If one enters Makkah to perform al-Hajj for others then remains in Makkah for one year, he is considered as one of the people of Makkah. If he wants to perform al-Hajj for himself or wants to perform al-‘Umrah after returning from ‘Arafat, he cannot then assume the state of Ihram in Makkah. He must go out to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) and every time he changes, he is required to go to a Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram).”’

It applies to those whose homes are within eighteen miles from the front, back, right and left from Masjid al-Haram.’”

“Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whatever a slave may commit in the state of Ihram is on his master, if he gives him permission to assume the state of Ihram.’”

“If one assumes the state of Ihram before Miqat (place for assuming the state of Ihram) and then involves with woman or hunting, there is nothing upon him.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Of the Sunnah in Ihram is to trim finger nails, mustache and pubic hairs.’”

He can involve with women as long as he has not made his intention for Talbiyah or has pronounced it.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Any cloth with which Salat (prayer) is performed is fine to use for Ihram.’”
