The case of those who have recognized Ahl al-Bayt and those who have ignored them

A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn 'Isa from Ali ibn al- Hakam from Sulayman ibn Ja'far who has said the following. "I heards al-Rida (a.s.) saying, "Ali ibn 'Abdallah (or 'Ubaydallah)ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.), his wife and childred are of the people of paradise.

" He then said, "Whoever would recognize this matter (Leadership with Divine Authority) in the descendants of Ali and Fatima (a.s.) he would not be like the people."


H 980, Ch. 88, h 2

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu'alla ibn Muhammad who has said that al- Washsha' said Ahmad ibn 'Umar has narrated to us the following. "Inform me about those who have opposed you and has ignored your rights as a descendant of Fatima (a.s.) would his suffering be the same as the other people?" He said, "Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) would say that their suffering will twice as much."

"I said to abu 'Abdallah (a.s.), 'are those who are ignorant of this matter (Leadership with Divine Authority) of the descendants of Hashim and others the same?" He said to me, "Do not say, "al-Munkir" (ignorant) but say al-Jahid (rejecter ) of the descendants of Hashim and other people."
