2-79 حدثنا عبدالواحد بن محمد بن عبدوس النيسابوري العطار رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا علي بن محمد بن قتيبة النيسابوري، عن الفضل بن شاذان قال: سمعت الرضا عليه السلام يقول: لما أمر الله عز وجل إبراهيم عليه السلام أن يذبح مكانابنه إسماعيل الكبش الذي أنزله عليه تمنى إبراهيم عليه السلام أن يكون قد ذبح ابنه إسماعيل بيده وأنه لم يؤمر بذبح الكبش مكانه ليرجع إلى قلبه ما يرجع إلى قلب الوالد الذي يذبح أعز ولده عليه بيده فستحق بذلك أرفع درجات أهل الثواب على المصائب فأوحى الله عز وجل إليه: يا إبراهيم من أحب خلقي إليك؟ فقال: يا رب ما خلقت خلقا هو أحب إلي من حبيبك محمد صلى الله عليه وآله فأوحى الله تعالى إليه أفهو أحب إليك أم نفسك قال: بل هو أحب إلي من نفسي، قال: فولده أحب إليك أم ولدك: قال: بل ولده، قال: فذبح ولده ظلما على أيدي أعدائه أوجع لقلبك أو ذبح ولدك بيدك في طاعتي؟ قال: يا رب بل ذبح ولده ظلما على أيدي أعدائه أوجع لقلبي، قال: يا إبراهيم فان طائفة تزعم أنها من أمة محمد ستقتل الحسين ابنه من بعده ظلما وعدوانا كما يذبح الكبش، ويستوجبون بذلك سخطي، فجزع إبراهيم عليه السلام لذلك، وتوجع قلبه، وأقبل يبكي، فأوحى الله عز وجل إليه: يا إبراهيم قد فديت جزعك على ابنك إسماعيل لو ذبحته بيدك بجزعك على الحسين وقتله، وأوجبت لك أرفع درجات أهل الثواب على المصائب وذلك قول الله عز وجل "وفديناه بذبح عظيم ".
2-79 Abdul Vahid ibn Muhammad ibn Abdus Al-Nishaburi Al-Attar narrated that Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Qutaybat Al-Nishaburi quoted on the authority of Fadhl ibn Shadhan: "I heard Imam Ridha (a.s.) say that Abraham (a.s.) wished that he had sacrificed his own son Ishmael when God the Almighty the Sublime sent a sheep and ordered Abraham (a.s.) to sacrifice it instead of his son. He wished that he had not been ordered to sacrifice a sheep instead of his son, so that he could have the feeling a father who sacrifices his dearest son with his own hands has, and could deserve the highest ranks of reward for suffering calamities. However, God the Almighty revealed to him: "O Abraham! Who is My dearest creature for you?" Abraham (a.s.) said, "O my Lord! You have not created anyone who is dearer to me than your friend Muhammad (a.s.)." Then God the Almighty revealed to him: "O Abraham! Do you like him more or do you like yourself more?" He said, "No. I like him more than I like myself." God said, "Do you like his child or do you like your child more?" He said, "Yes. His child." God said, "Will the oppressive beheading of his child by his enemies hurt you more, or your beheading your own child due to your obeying Me?" He said, "O My Lord! Of course, the beheading of his child by his enemies will hurt me more." God said, "O Abraham! A group of people who consider themselves to be a part of Muhammad’s (MGB) nation out of animosity and oppression will slaughter his son Hussein (a.s.) just like a sheep. Thus, they will deserve My wrath. Then Abraham (a.s.) became really sad hearing this, felt a pain in his heart and started to cry. Then the Almighty God revealed the following to him, "O Abraham! I accepted your sorrow and sadness due to the slaughtering of Hussein (a.s.) instead of the sorrow you would have experienced for the sacrifice of your son Ishmael. And I will grant you the highest rewards for suffering calamities." And this is God the Almighty’s words, "And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice."
