The Sunni scientists believe that the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) are considered as the prophet’s family (peace be upon them). Recently, one of the Sunni scientists has said on TV ‘’ the prophet’s family are the entire nation of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants)’’.
Please bring a narration from the mother of the devout, Ayeshe, that has said ‘’ I am the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them)’’.
In Zahedan, One of the Sunni scientists had a talk and said in the meeting of the religions
‘’ some of scientists are trying to prove that the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) are considered as the prophet’s family. I declare that the mother of the devout, Ayeshe, was in the habit of saying whatever was related to her good features in the public. There is no narration that Ayeshe had declared that she was the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them) and the Tathir Verse was related to her’’.
Bring a narration that Om Salame, Hafase or Om Habibe had said that they were the members of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them), but they said that they were the members of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them). For example, it has been narrated that Om Salame said to the prophet
و أنا معهم يا رسول الله؟ قال: إنك علي خير.
‘’ am I the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them) and the Tathir Verse? The prophet bade ‘’ you are a good person, but you are not the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them)’’.
When Termezi narrates the above narration, he says
هذا حديث حسن صحيح
‘’This Hadith is good and correct’’.
Mr. al-Bani has considered this narration valid in the book ‘’Sahih Sonan Termezi’’.
When Om Saleme says
‘’ am I the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them)?
The prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) bade
أللهم هؤلاء أهل بيتي و خاصتي
‘’O’ God! The persons that are under my aba are my family’’.
Om Saleme says
‘’ I was not convinced by the prophet’s remark (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) again and found all of virtues for the prophet’s family in the Tathir Verse’’
فرفعت الكساء لأدخل معهم فجذبه من يدي و قال: إنك علي خير
‘’ I picked up Kasa to join the prophet’s family (peace be upon them). The prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) took Kasa from me and bade ‘’ you are a good person, but you are not the member of my family (peace be upon them)’’.
It has been said in Sahih Mosalam which Zid Ben Argham asked
من أهل بيته نساؤه؟
‘’are the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) considered as the prophet’s family (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants)?
He bade
لا، و أيم الله! إن المرأة تكون مع الرجل العصر من الدهر ثم يطلقها فترجع إلي أبيها و قومها
‘’Swear to God!!! No. a woman lives with her husband. After he divorces her, she will come back her family and tribe’’.
When Saleme said
أنا يا رسول الله ألست من أهل البيت؟
‘’ O’ the prophet! ‘’ am I the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them)?’’
The prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) bade
‘’ you are a good person, but you are not the member of the prophet’s family (peace be upon them)’’.
Excellency Mr. Alusi Vahabi said clearly in spite of his bias
و قوله عليه الصلاة و السلام: «أللهم هؤلاء أهل بيتي» و دعائه لهم و عدم إدخال أم سلمة، أكثر من أن تحصى و هي مخصصة لعموم أهل البيت بأي معنى كان البيت
The prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) bade ‘’O’ God! They are my family ‘’.And he prayed them and he did not consider Om Salame in his family. The prophet’s family is in a higher rank to be counted and it is not deserved for any one. Om Salame‘s narrations were assigned for it’’.
He said in the next page
أن النساء المطهرات غير داخلات في أهل البيت الذين هم أحد الثقلين
‘’The wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) are not considered as the prophet’s family (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) that is included in Saghalein’’.
All of these have been said so obviously and clearly.
The prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) bade
نزلت هذه الآيه في خمسة: في و في علي و فاطمة و حسن و حسين
‘’The Tathir Verse has been descended in the rank of five persons: in the rank of me, Ali, Fateme, Hasan and Hussein’’.
We believe that the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) are not considered as the prophet’s family (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) (this has been said in Ahzab Surah / verse thirty three). You can define the prophet’s family in another way and consider the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) in it. We believe that The Tathir Verse does not include the wives of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants). The prophet’s family that has been said in The Tathir Verse is related to the leader of the faithful (peace be upon him), Hazrat Fateme Zahra (peace upon her), Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) and Imam Hussein (peace be upon him). First of all, it is related to Hazrat Fateme Zahra‘s children (peace upon her) and other Imams (peace be upon them) that claimed that they included the Tathir Verse.
Question 2
Mr. Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) has written in the preface of the book ‘’Kafi’’ ‘’ I have tried to say the most valid Hadiths in the book’’. At the present, Vahabi people say ‘’ the Shiite people do not believe in the distortion of the Quran and we accept it ‘’. But Mr. Kalini (may God’s mercy be upon him) has said a Hadith in his book about the case that the Quran has been distorted and he himself believes in these Hadiths and he thinks that his book is valid. Hence, Mr. Kalini (may God’s mercy be upon him) is a renegade and a polytheist although he has written the Shiite most well-known book. Please explain about this case.
Answer 2
No, it is not true. Vahabi people are trying to pretend that Mr. Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) said that all of his narrations were valid. Deceased Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) said in the book ‘’Kafi’’ (volume one / page eight)
‘’ one of my friends had written us a letter and I answered to him
إنك تحب أن يكون عندك كتاب كاف، يجمع من جميع فنون علم الدين، ما يكتفي به المتعلم و يرجع إليه المسترشد و يأخذ منه من يريد علم الدين و العمل به بالآثار الصحيحة عن الصادقين عليهم السلام و السنن القائمة التي عليها العمل و بها يؤدي فرض الله عز وجل و سنة نبيه صلي الله عليه و آله و قلت: لو كان ذلك رجوت أن يكون ذلك سبباً يتدارك الله [تعالي] بمعونته و توفيقه إخواننا و أهل ملتنا و يقبل بهم إلي مراشدهم.
‘’if you want to write a book, you should consider all of the religious principles in it so that a learner can learn enough and a researcher can become an authority. Every one that wants to know about science, religion and to follow Imam Sadigh’s orders and the traditions can learn from that book and do the obligations of God and the prophet’s tradition ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) from the book. And he added ‘’I hope that if there is such a book, God can lead our Shiite brothers to a right path and guide them by this book’’.
The person that wanted such a book said
‘’ Every one that wants to know about science, religion and to follow Imam Sadegh’s orders and the traditions can learn from that book’’.
Mr. Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) answered to the person that wanted a book with valid narrations
و قد يسر الله ـ و له الحمد ـ تأليف ما سألت و أرجو أن يكون بحيث توخيت
‘’ thank God that made it possible to write a book that I wanted. I hope that it be as you wished’’.
Deceased Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) has never said that the book was valid and firm with all of the narrations in it. There are narrations مرسل as well as مرفوع narrations in the book ‘’ Kafi’’. He has narrated from persons that our dignitaries said that he was وضّاع و جاعل الحديث. Hazrat Ayatollah al-Ozma Khui (may God’s mercy be upon him) rejected this remark in the book ‘’Majam Rejal al-Hadith ‘’ (volume 1) mentioned some reasons that demonstrated that Kalini (God’s mercy be upon him) and other jurisprudents did not believe that their narrations were valid. Even deceased Bahrani (God’s mercy be upon him) has classified the narrations of Kafi (16199 narrations) in the book ‘’ al-Hadaegh al-Nazere’’ and said
‘’ there are nine thousand narrations that are not valid’’.
Of course, we can believe his idea about what he said in relation to narrations of Kafi and about ten or fifteen percent of narrations of Kafi is weak and what deceased Bahrani (God’s mercy be upon him) said is not acceptable. Hazrat Ayatollah al-Ozma Khui (may God’s mercy be upon him) said’’ we have valid, invalid, مرسل and مرفوع narrations.
Question 3
Vahabi people have written a statement from the Nur Channel
‘’ the Shiite people believe that when Imam Zaman (may God hasten his glad advent) becomes present, all of the Imams will become alive and will take revenge of their murderers. After Imam Zaman (may God hasten his glad advent) passes away, Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) will pray for the corpse of Imam Zaman (may God hasten his glad advent)’’.
Please explain about this case.
Answer 3
I talked about ‘’restoration’’ for two sessions in the Feizie School’’ of Qom in detail. It will be so good if they broadcast them. I said that ‘’restoration’’ is one of essentials and we have no hesitations and doubts about it. But we do not know how ‘’restoration’’ will be, which Imams (peace be upon them) will return and whether all of them will return (the leader of the faithful (peace be upon him) and Imam Hussein (peace be upon him). ‘’restoration’’ is one of essentials although its details are not clear to us.
Question 4
1) Where was Imam Sajad( peace be upon him) born?
2) Where did Imam Sajad’s mother (peace be upon him) pass away?
3) How old were Imam Sajad (peace be upon him) and Hazrat Ali Akbar (peace be upon him)? Which one of them was elder?
4) Did both of them marry?
Answer 4
1) He was born in Medina.
2) She passed away in Medina.
3) Hazrat Ali Akbar (peace be upon him) was elder than Imam Sajad’s mother (peace be upon him). As far as we know, he was twenty eight years old in Karbala, and Imam Sajad’s mother (peace be upon him) was twenty three years old, so Hazrat Ali Akbar (peace be upon him) was five years older than Imam Sajad (peace be upon him).
4) Yes, both of them got married. It has been said in Ziyaratname (written prayers to be read aloud by shrine visitors)Hazrat Ali Akbar (peace be upon him)
السلام عليك يا أبا الحسن.
