بسم الله الواحد القهار
Sheikh Hadi An-Najafi:
Al-Kulayni: Mohammad in Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Mohammad from ibn Mahbub from al-Husayn ibn Nu‘im al-Sahhaf who has said the following:
“Once I asked abu ‘Abd Allah, (عليه السلام), about the words of Allah: ‘. . . certain persons of you have believed and others of you have not . . .’ [64:2]
“The Imam said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious, has defined their belief by means of their love for us. He has defined their disbelief, in the same way, by the same fact.
This took place on the day He asked all the offspring of Adam (in the form of minute beings) to make a covenant.’
“I then asked him about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Gracious: ‘Obey Allah and the Messenger, but if you turn away, you must know that the only duty of Our Messenger is to clearly preach.’ [64:12]
“The Imam said, ‘By Allah, no one of those who were destroyed before or those who will be destroyed up to the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority were or will be destroyed except because of their disregarding our Wilayah (Leadership with Divine Authority) and the denial of our rights.
The Messenger of Allah did not leave this world before establishing the great responsibility on this ’Umma to observe our rights. Allah guides to the right path whomever he wants.’”
The chain of the narration is Sahih(authentic).
