Allah to Isa(a.s): My Messenger(saw) will pass away a Martyr

بسم الله الواحد القهار


Sheikh Al-Kulayni:

Hadith of Isa Ibn Maryam(عليهما السلام):

Narrated Ali Ibn Ibraheem from his father from Ali Ibn Isbaat from them(عليهم السلام): Among what Allah Almighty advised Isa Ibn Maryam(عليه السلام) was: ....

Then I advise you, O son of Maryam, the chaste virgin, of the Chief of the Rasools, and My Beloved, so he is Ahmad, the owner of the red camel, with a face illuminated with the light as bright as the full moon, and the one pure of the heart, and intensely valiant, the prestigious, for he is the Mercy to the Worlds, and the Chief of the children of Adam on the Day that he will meet Me. The most honourable of the former ones to Me, and the nearest one to Me from the Rasools, the Arab, the trustworthy, the embodiment of My Religion, the patient one in struggling against the Polytheists by his own self and hands for the sake of My Religion. And inform the Children of Israel about him, and command them that they should ratify him, and believe in him, and follow him, and help him”.
Isa(عليه السلام) asked: My God! Who is he that if I were to please him it would please You?’ He Said: “He is Muhammad, the Rasool Allah(صلی الله و عليه وآله) to all of the people. He is the closest to Me in status, and the presenter for the intercession.
Good tidings for him from the Prophets and good tidings for his community who will meet Me whilst being upon his way. The inhabitants of the earth praise him, and the inhabitants of the sky seek Forgiveness through him.
The trustworthy, the Entrusted one, the good, the blessed, the best of the remaining ones in My Presence who will be in the end of times. When he comes out, the sky will loosen its rainfall and the earth will bring out its blossoms until they will see the Blessings, and I will Bless for him whatever that he places his hand upon, one with many wives and few children. He will live at Bekka (Makkah), the place of foundation of Ibrahim.
O Isa! his Religion is the upright one (Al-Haneefa), and his direction(Qiblah) is the Right one, and he is from My Party, and I am with him.
So good tidings for him. Then again good tidings for him, for him is Al-Kawsar(the Lake), and the great status in Gardens of Eden, living honourably, the ones that live in it, and he will pass away as a martyr.
For him is the Fountain greater than Bakka (Makkah) up to the rising of the sun. In this are springs of a sealed drink (Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtoum) similar (in number) to the stars in the sky, and cups similar (in number) to the grains of the sands of the earth, sweetened in it from every drink and food of every fruit in the Paradise. The one, who drinks from it a drink, will never be thirsty ever again, and that is what I have Apportioned for him, and as a merit for him over the period in between you and him.
His secret would be in accordance with his publicising, and his words would be his deeds. He will not command the people except by himself doing it first.
His Religion is the Holy War in hardship as well as in ease. The cities would surrender to him and the ruler of Rome would yield to him. He would be upon the Religion of Ibrahim. He will mention My name during partaking of the food, and would express the greetings, and he will Pray whilst the people are sleeping. Every day he would Pray five Prayers calling out in sequence to the Prayer like the calling of the army by the slogan. And he would open by the exclamation of the Takbeer, and he would end by the greetings. He would keep his feet in a row during the Prayer just as the Angels keep their feet in a row. And he would humble his heart before Me, as well as his head.
The ( the Divine Light) would be in his chest, and the truth would be upon his tongue, and he would be on the truth wherever he may be.
His origin would be as an orphan wandering for a whole during his time for that which is required from him. His eyes would sleep but his heart would never sleep. For him is the intercession, and upon his community the Hour would be Established (Day of Judgement be made easy). And My Hand is Above their hands, so the one who breaks (the Covenant) so he would have broken it against himself. And the one who is loyal to what has been Covenanted with him, I would be Loyal to him with the Paradise. So command the unjust ones of the Children of Israel to study his Books and not to alter his Sunnah, and that they should send the greetings upon him for he is upon the status more glorious than the glorious.
O Isa! All that which brings you closer to Me, I have Evidenced it for you and everything which distances you from Me, so I have Prohibited you from it, so refer to it for yourself.

Allamah Al-Majlisi:

Hadith No. 103: Hadith of Isa Ibn Maryam is Hasan(Good) or Muwath'thaq(Reliable), except that there is apparently Irsaal(disconnection) in its chain.
However As-Saduq has narrated it in his Amali from Mohammad Ibn Musa Ibn Al-Mutawakkil from Abdulla Ibn Ja'far Al-Himyari from Mohammad Ibn Al-Husain Ibn Abil Khattab from Ali Ibn Isbaat from Ali Ibn Abi Hamzah from Abi Basir from Abi Abdullah(عليه السلام), so the narration is Muwath'thaq(Reliable) according to the famous opinion and this(i.e. chain of As-Saduq) reveals the disconnection of the chain here(i.e. in the chain of Al-Kulayni).

There is none of us, except that he will be killed and martyred

بسم الله الواحد القهار


Sheikh As-Saduq:

Mohammad Ibn Musa Ibn Al-Mutawakkil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali Ibn Ibraheem Ibn Hashim quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abi Salt Al-Hirawi who said: I heard Al-Ridha(عليه السلام) saying, “By Allah! there is none of us, except that he will be killed and martyred.
He was asked, “O son of the Prophet of God! Who will murder you?” He replied, “The most wicked creature of God in my time (Al-Ma’mun) will kill me using poison. Then he will bury me in a very tight house in a strange town. Know that whoever visits me in my loneliness, God the Highest will record for him the reward of one-hundred thousand martyrs, one-hundred thousand honest ones, one-hundred thousand obligatory and ‘Umra (supererogatory) pilgrimages, and one-hundred thousands fighters in the way of God. He will also be resurrected among us. He will be established in high ranks in Heaven as our friend.”

No Taqiyya when Religion Prone to Corruption


بسم الله الواحد القهار

Sheikh Al-Kulayni:

The Rights of One Who Accepts the Belief and Then Severs Away

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following:
“I heard abu ‘Abd Allah(عليه السلام), saying, when he was asked about belief, and the rights of the believer, his brotherhood and how he is and by what means it is proved and is invalidated, ‘The belief is of two aspects. One is that which is manifested to you from your companion. If he manifests like what you believe in, his Wilayah (right of one guardianship) is established as well as his brotherhood unless he then manifests the opposite of what he had manifested before. He then will be out of the rights that were established. That which he manifests later suspends his rights unless he then claims it to be for purposes of protection (Taqiyya). Despite this, it is to be seen, if it is of the cases where use of protective measures (Taqiyya) is applicable or not, if not then his claim is not accepted. For use of protective measures there are specific instances. Whoever misuses them will not have the benefits thereby. Of such examples one is when there are evil people whose rules and judgments are against the judgment and actions of truth. In such conditions, if the believer may use Taqiyya to the limits that does not harm the religion, such use is permissible.’”
