الحسن بن محمد بن عمران

“The hasteners will perish and those nearest to Allah will be saved! After distress there will be a wonderful deliverance!”

“I said to Abu Ja’far al-Baqir (as): If the present imam of Ahlul Bayt leaves to the better world, with what will the next one be recognized?” He said: “With guidance, calmness, gravity, acknowledging his virtue by Muhammad’s progeny and that he will not be asked about anything in the east or in the west unless he will give the right answer.”

I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) say the following: “Joking is a minor form of name-calling.”

“One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘One in the state of Ihram, must not eat sea birds.’”

O Prophet of God! They are your (grand)children! Grant them something.” The Prophet (MGB) said, “I grant Al-Hassan my majesty and mastery, and grant Al-Hussein my bravery and benevolence.’

“When al-Qa’im appears in Mecca, his caller will announce that no one is to carry with him food or drink. He (al-Qa’im) will carry with him the rock of Prophet Moses, which is as a burden of a camel. Whenever they stop to rest, the rock will well. Hungry and thirsty ones will eat and drink and feed their cattle until they will reach Najaf, which is near Kufa.”

“If al-Khattab is perished, the imam of the age disappears and the hearts begin to turn here and there; some fertile and some barren, then the ill-wishers will perish, the vanishers will vanish and the believers will remain and how few they will be; three hundred or a little more! A group that has fought with the Prophet (S) in the battle of Badr, that none of them has been killed or has died, will fight with them (with the imam and his followers).” Imam Ali (as) means that when the imam of the age (al-Mahdi) disappears from the sight of people, the Shia becomes confused and they disagree among themselves. Some of them still keep to the truth (fertile hearts) and others deviate from the truth (barren hearts). Then he says that the ill-wishers will be perished because they do not submit to Allah and they want Him to hasten His order. They see that the period become too long and so they perish before the coming of deliverance. Allah saves the patient and submissive believers and rewards them with what they deserve. They are the few true believers as Imam Ali has said that they are three hundred ones or a little more, whom Allah qualifies to support His guardian and to fight His enemy. They are the rulers, the viziers and the assistants of al-Qa’im (as) over the world after the war comes to an end and the world enjoys peace. Then Imam Ali (as) says that “A group that has fought with the Prophet (S) in the battle of Badr and that none of them has been killed or has died will fight with them.” He means that Allah will assist al-Qa’im (as) with the three hundred or more of the angels, who have assisted the Prophet (S) and his companions in the battle of Badr.

I asked Hakima binte Muhammad, sister of Abu Muhammad Hasan Askari and she replied to me as above.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Grandchildren take the place of their father.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘You should place the deceased in the grave gently.’”

“About the case of a woman who dies and leaves behind her husband, abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘One-fourth belongs to the woman and the rest belongs to the Imam.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The grave of the Messenger of Allah is covered with red color pebbles.”

“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘(In a funeral procession) walk in front or behind (the coffin).”’

“I asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a dying person. He said, ‘Make the undersides of his feet face toward Qiblah.’ ”

“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘The Holy Quran forbids and commands, it commands (people to go) to paradise and prohibits (people from going) to the fire.’”

I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام saying: The Qur’an is a Chaser and a Caller. It calls to the Garden and chases away from the Fire
