“Verily, the Messenger of Allah (SA) will take hold of Allah’s Waistband [hujzah]. We will grab the Prophet’s Waistband and our Shi`ites will take hold of our Waistband.” He then said: “the Waistband is the Light [al-nur].”

“On the Resurrection Day God’s Prophet (s) will grab onto the Sublime God, we will grab onto our Prophet and our followers will grab onto us.” Then the Imam (s) added, “What is meant by ‘grab onto’ is grabbing onto light.” In another tradition it is stated “What is meant by ‘grab onto’ is grabbing onto the religion.”

On the Day when there shall be a severe affliction.” He (AS) lifted the clothing that covered his shin, placed his hand on his head, and said: “Glory be to my Lord, the Most High!” The Compiler of this book says; The meaning of his (AS) statement “Glory be to my Lord, the Most High” is that Allah, the Mighty and High, is far Exalted form having human attributes like a shin.

‘Did Isa Ibn Maryam (as) revive anyone after his death to the extent that he ate, received sustenance, and had a term, and children?’ He replied: ‘Yes. He had a friend who he had established brotherhood with for the Sake of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High, and Isa (as) used to pass by him and visit him. And that Isa (as) remained absent from him for a while, then passed by his house to greet him. His mother came out to him. So he asked her about him. She said, ‘He died, O Messenger (as) of Allah (azwj)’. He (as) said: ‘Would you love to see him’. She said, ‘Yes’. He (as) said to her: ‘Come to me tomorrow and I shall revive him for you by the Permission of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High’. So when it was the next day, she came over. He (as) said to her: ‘Come with me to his grave’. So they went until they arrived at his grave. Isa (as) paused at it, and then supplicated to Allah (azwj). The grave split apart and her son came out alive. So when his mother saw him, and he saw her, they wept. Isa (as) sympathized with them. Isa (as) said to him: ‘Would you like to remain alive with your mother in the world?’ He said, ‘O Prophet (saww) of Allah (azwj), with eating and sustenance and a term, or without eating and sustenance and a term?’ So Isa (as) said to him: ‘With eating and sustenance and a term. And you will be living for twenty years and get married and have children’. He said, ‘Yes’. When he said that, Isa (as) handed him over to his mother. He thus lived for twenty years, and got married, and had children’.
