WILADAT E HAZRAT MAHDI (ATFS) MUBARAK TO ALL
Narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Hasan - May Allah be pleased with
them
- they said: Narrated to us Saad bin Abdullah and Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari,
all of
them
from Abil Hasan Salih bin Abi Hammad and Hasan bin Tareef, all of them from
Bakr
bin
Salih and narrated to us my father and Muhammad bin Musa bin Mutawakkil and
Muhammad
bin Ali Majilaway; and Ahmad bin Ali bin Ibrahim; and Hasan bin Ibrahim bin
Natana;
and Ahmad bin Ziyad Hamadani - May Allah be pleased with them - they said:
Narrated
to us Ali bin Ibrahim from his father Ibrahim bin Hashim from Bakr bin Salih
from
Abdur
Rahman bin Saalim from Abi Baseer from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said:
“My
father (a.s.) said to Jabir Ibn Abdullah Ansari, ‘I have some work with
you.
So, when is it possible for you to give me some time that I may ask you
something?’
Jabir replied, ‘Whenever you wish.’ Thus, when my father (a.s.) met
him
in privacy, he asked him, “O Jabir! Inform me about the Tablet which you
saw
in the hand of my mother, Fatima, the daughter of the Messenger of Allah
(s.a.w.s.)
and what did she tell you as to what was written in it?” Jabir replied, ‘I
hold
Allah as Witness that I went to visit your mother, Fatima (a.s.) during the
lifetime
of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.) to congratulate her for Husain’s
(a.s.)
birth. I saw in her hand a green Tablet, which I thought to be of emerald and
its
writing was as bright as sunlight. I asked her, ‘May my parents be sacrificed
for
you, O daughter of Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.s.)! What is this Tablet?’ She
(s.a.)
replied, ‘This is the Tablet, which Allah, to whom belong might and
majesty,
has gifted to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.s.). In it is the name of my
father,
the name of Ali, the name of my two sons and the names of the successors
from
my progeny. In turn, my father gave it to me that I may rejoice through it.’
Jabir
said, ‘Thus, your mother Fatima (a.s.) gave it to me. I read it and copied it.’
My
father (a.s.) asked, ‘O Jabir! Can you show it (the copied manuscript) to me?’
He
replied in the affirmative. My father (a.s.) accompanied Jabir to his house
where
he took out a scroll of parchment and gave it to my father he said, ‘I hold
Allah
as Witness that this is what I saw written in the Tablet:
In
the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is a Book from
Allah,
the Mighty, the Wise to Muhammad, His light, His ambassador, His veil
and
His proof. The trustworthy spirit (Jibraeel) has descended with it from the
Lord
of the worlds. O Muhammad! Magnify my names, be grateful for My
bounties
and do not deny My endowments. Verily I am Allah, there is no god but
Me,
the Destroyer of the oppressors, the Degrader of the tyrants and the
Establisher
of the Day of Judgment. Verily I am Allah, there is no god but Me.
Whoever
expects grace from other than Me or fears other than My justice and My
punishment,
I will punish him in such a way that I will not punish anybody in this
manner
in the worlds. Hence, worship only Me and rely only on Me. Indeed, I
did
not raise a messenger, completed his days and terminated his duration but that
I
appointed for him a successor. Certainly, I made you superior over all other
Prophets
and made your successor superior over all other successors. After him, I
honored
you with your two grandsons, Hasan and Husain. I made Hasan the mine
of
My knowledge after the end of the days of his father and I made Husain the
treasure
chest of My revelation, I honored him with martyrdom and sealed it for
him
with eternal bliss. So, he is the best of the martyrs and the highest of them
in
grade
before Me. I have placed My perfect word with him and the complete proof
near
him. Through his progeny, I shall reward and punish.
The
first of them is the chief of the worshippers and the adornment of My
past
friends, then his son (Muhammad) who resembles his grandfather al-
Mahmood1,
the splitter of My knowledge and the mine of My wisdom. Soon,
those
who doubt concerning his son Ja’far will be destroyed. He who rejects him
has
rejected Me. I speak the truth, I will indeed honor the position of Ja’far and
make
him happy vis-à-vis his Shias, his helpers and his friends. After him, I have
selected
Musa and there will be a blinding, dark corruption so that the spark of
My
obedience is not terminated, My proof is not hidden and My friends are not
afflicted
with misfortune. Beware! Whoever denies even one of them has denied
My
bounty. Whoever changes one verse from My Book, then indeed has
attributed
a lie unto Me. Then woe unto the liars, the deniers with the termination
of
the duration of My servant, My beloved and My chosen one, Musa. Verily, the
one
who denies the eighth is as if he has denied all My friends (Imams). Ali is
My
friend, My helper and the one upon whom I have placed Prophethood’s
burden
of proof and conferred upon him mastership. An arrogant devil will
murder
him. He will be buried in a city, which the righteous servant has built,
next
to the worst of My creatures. I speak the truth, I will soothe his eyes with
Muhammad,
his son and his successor after him. He is the heir of My knowledge,
the
mine of My wisdom, the place of My joy and My proof upon My creatures.
None
shall believe in him but that the paradise will be his abode and I will allow
him
to intercede for seventy of his family members, even if all of them are
eligible
for hell. I will complete his bliss with his son Ali, My friend, My helper,
My
witness amongst My creatures and My trustee upon My revelation. From
him,
I will bring forth Hasan, the caller to My path and the treasurer of My
Knowledge.
Thereafter, I will
complete this (chain of Imamate) with his son,
م.ح.م.د. mercy for the
worlds. He will possess the perfection of Musa, the
brightness of Isa
and the patience of Ayyub. Soon, My friends will be humiliated
in his time and
their heads will be gifted as trophies like the heads of the Turks
and the
Dailamites. They will be killed, they will be burnt, they will live in a state
of fear, terror
and trepidation. The earth will be colored with their blood and
wailing and
sobbing will be commonplace among their womenfolk. They are My
true friends!
Through them I will repel all blinding and dark mischief, remove the
earthquakes and do
away with the burdens and the chains.
أُولَئِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَوَاتٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ
وَأُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُهْتَدُونَ
They
are those upon them is the blessings of their Lord and mercy. Andthey
are the guided ones. (Sure Baqarah : 157)
Abdur
Rahman bin Salim says: Abu Baseer says, ‘If you do not hear in your
time
anything but this tradition, it will suffice for you. Hence, conceal it except
from
those who are worthy of it.’
