80. Through the same chain of narrators it is narrated from Yunus from Sabah al-Muzniy from abu Hamza from one of them (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “There is no doubt that evil doers who are engulfed in sins -rejected Wilaya of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.)- are the companions of hell fire wherein they will live forever.” (2:81) A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn abu Nasr from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from abu ‘Ubayda al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following. “I asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.) about the capability and the people’s words. The Imam (a.s.) recited this verse of the Holy Quran. “They still have different beliefs (11:118) except those upon whom God has granted His mercy. God has created them to receive mercy. . .” (11:119) O abu ‘Ubayda, people face differences in search for truth and all of them will be destroyed.” The narrator has said that I then said, “Except those who receive mercy from Allah. (11:119)” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Such people are our followers whom He has created for His mercy. “God has created them to receive mercy. . .” (11:119) He has said that they are created to obey the Imam of blessings that He has mentioned in His words “My mercy and blessings have encompassed all things”. Such blessing is the knowledge of Imam. His (Imams’) knowledge which is from His knowledge that has encompassed all things. They are our Shi‘a, followers). Then He has said, “. . I shall grant mercy to those who maintain piety, (do not acknowledge the authority of those who are not Imams and obedience to them). ..” (7:156) Then Allah has said, “. . whose description they find written in the Torah and the Gospel.(The Holy Prophet, the executor of his will and Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority). He (the Messengers) enjoins them to do good (when he will rise with Divine Authority) and forbids them to do all that is unlawful, -Munkar (unlawful) is one who does not acknowledge the Wilaya of Imam) makes lawful for them all that is pure (receive knowledge from its proper source) and unlawful all that is filthy, (the words of those who oppose the Imam are filthy) removes their burdens (the sins that they had before acknowledging Wilaya of the Imam (Leadership with Divine Authority) and the entanglements in which they are involved (the entanglements are the words that they were not commanded to express. Such words were not in praise and virtue of the Imam. When they recognized the excellence of the Imam He removed their burden. Such burden is the sin. Then He further explains about them) Those who believe in him, (the Imam) honor and help him, and follow the light which is sent down to him, will have everlasting happiness.”. (7:157) (Such people are those who kept away from the worship of the Devil and Satan. So and so are Devil and Satan. Worship is people’s obeying them. Allah then has said, “Turn to God in repentance and submit to Him. .” (39:56). Then He has granted them rewards. “. . will receive glad news both in this life and in the life hereafter. .” (10:64) (Imam gives them the glad news of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority, the news of the destruction of their enemies and salvation in the hereafter and their meeting Ali and Muhammad (s.a) and their truthful family at pond of al-Kawthar).”
