Birth Anniversary of Imam Ali al-Rida (p), 1443 A.H.
Saturday, June 11th, 2022, marks the birth anniversary of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (p), 11th of Dhu al-Qidah, 1443 A.H.
Sayyid Abduladheem al-Hasani reports that Imam Ali al-Rida (p) said:
“O’ Abduladheem, convey my greetings (salam) to my companions and tell them to deny Satan’s influence over them and command them to be truthful when speaking, to fulfill everything that is entrusted to them, to remain silent and avoid arguing about what does not concern them, and to embrace and visit one another, because this is a way of gaining closeness to me. They must not preoccupy themselves with tearing each other apart, for I have made it incumbent upon myself that whoever does so and angers one of my companions, I will pray to God to punish them in this world with the most severe punishment and make them among the losers in the hereafter. And let them know that God has forgiven the righteous among them and pardoned those who did bad [and sincerely repented], except for those who associated others with me (i.e., my divinely appointed position), harmed one of my companions, or harbored ill intentions towards them, for God will not forgive them unless they repent. Otherwise, the spirit of faith will be stripped from their heart and they will have withdrawn from my companionship and will not have a share of our guardianship [over them], and I seek refuge to God from this.”
[Al-Majlisi, Bihar al-anwar, vol. 71, p. 230, reported from al-Shaykh al-Mufeed in al-Ikhtisas, p. 247]
عن السّيّد عبد العظيم الحَسَني، عن الإمام أبي الحسن علي بن موسى الرّضا (عليه السَّلام) قال:
“يا عبد العظيم! أبلغ عنّي أوليائي السَّلام، وقل لهم أنْ: لا يجعلوا للشّيطان على أنفسهم سبيلاً، ومُرهُم بالصّدق في الحديث، وأداء الأمانة، ومُرهُم بالسّكوت وترك الجدال فيما لا يعنيهم، وإقبال بعضهم على بعض، والمزاوَرَة، فإنَّ ذلك قُربةً إليّ، ولا يشغلوا أنفسهم بتمزيق بعضهم بعضاً، فإنّي آليت على نفسي أنّه مَن فعل ذلك وأسخطَ وليّاً مِن أوليائي دعوتُ الله ليعذّبه في الدّنيا أشدّ العذاب، وكان في الآخرة مِنَ الخاسرين. وَعَرِّفْهُم أنَّ الله قد غَفَرَ لِمُحْسِنِهِم، وَتجاوَزَ عن مُسِيئهم إلّا مَنْ أشركَ بي أو آذى وَليّاً مِنْ أوليائي أو أضمرَ له سُوءً فإنَّ الله لا يغفر له حتّى يرجع عنه، فإنْ رَجَعَ عنه، وإلّا نُزع رُوحُ الإيمان عن قلبه، وَخَرَجَ عن ولايتي، ولم يكن له نصيب في ولايتنا، وأعوذ بالله من ذلك”.
[الشيخ المجلسي، “بحار الأنوار”: ج ٧١، ص ٢٣٠، نقلاً عن الشيخ المفيد، “الاختصاص”: ص ٢٤٧]
