45 - حَدَّثَنا أَحْمَدِ بْنِ إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ هارُون الفامي فِي مَسْجِد الكُوفَة قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ جَعْفَر الحِمْيَريُّ، عَن أَبيهِ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا إِبْراهيمِ بْنِ هاشِم، عَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ معبد، عَن الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خالِد، عَن أَبي الحَسَن عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَنْسِبُونَا إِلَى الْقَوْلِ بِالتَّشْبِيهِ وَالْجَبْرِ لِمَا رُوِيَ مِنَ الأَخْبَارِ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ آبَائِكَ الأَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ خَالِدٍ أَخْبِرْنِي، عَن الأَخْبَارِ الَّتِي رُوِيَتْ، عَن آبَائِيَ الأَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فِي التَّشْبِيهِ وَالْجَبْرِ أَكْثَرُ أَمِ الأَخْبَارُ الَّتِي رُوِيَتْ، عَن النَّبِيِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ مَا رُوِيَ، عَن النَّبِيِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَكْثَرُ قَالَ فَلْيَقُولُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي التَّشْبِيهِ وَالْجَبْرِ إِذاً فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ لَمْ يَقُلْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً وَإِنَّمَا رُوِيَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ فَلْيَقُولُوا فِي آبَائِيَ الأَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَقُولُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً وَإِنَّمَا رُوِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ مَنْ قَالَ بِالتَّشْبِيهِ وَالْجَبْرِ فَهُوَكَافِرٌ مُشْرِكٌ وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُ بُرَءَاءُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآْخِرَةِ يَا ابْنَ خَالِدٍ إِنَّمَا وَضَعَ الأَخْبَارَ، عَنا فِي التَّشْبِيهِ وَالْجَبْرِ الْغُلاةُ الَّذِينَ صَغَّرُوا عَظَمَةَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَمَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَنَا وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنَا وَمَنْ وَالاهُمْ فَقَدْ عَادَانَا وَمَنْ عَادَاهُمْ فَقَدْ وَالانَا وَمَنْ وَصَلَهُمْ فَقَدْ قَطَعَنَا وَمَنْ قَطَعَهُمْ فَقَدْ وَصَلَنَا وَمَنْ جَفَاهُمْ فَقَدْ بَرَّنَا وَمَنْ بَرَّهُمْ فَقَدْ جَفَانَـا وَمَنْ أَكْرَمَهُـمْ فَقَدْ أَهَـانَنَا وَمَنْ أَهَانَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَكْرَمَنَـاوَمَنْ قَبِلَهُمْ فَقَدْ رَدَّنَا وَمَنْ رَدَّهُمْ فَقَدْ قَبِلَنَا وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَدْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَيْنَا وَمَنْ صَدَّقَهُمْ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَنَا وَمَنْ كَذَّبَهُمْ فَقَدْ صَدَّقَنَا وَمَنْ أَعْطَاهُمْ فَقَدْ حَرَمَنَا وَمَنْ حَرَمَهُمْ فَقَدْ أَعْطَانَا يَا ابْنَ خَالِدٍ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَلا يَتَّخِذَنَّ مِنْهُمْ وَلِيّاً وَلا نَصِيراً.
11-45 Ahmad ibn Ibrahim ibn Harun al-Fami in the Kufa Mosque narrated that Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Ja’far al-Himyari quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid that he told Abil Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s), “O son of the Prophet of God! People ascribe belief in likening (The act of comparing similarities, comparison) and predestination to us due to the traditions narrated on the authority of your forefathers - the Immaculate Imams (s) in this regard.” The Imam (s) said, “O Khalid! Let me know whether there are more traditions on this issue narrated on the authority of my forefathers - the Immaculate Imams (s) or on the authority of God’s Prophet (s)?” I replied, “Of course, there are more narrated on the authority of God’s Prophet (s).” The Imam (s) said, “Then it must be said that God’s Prophet (s) believed in likening and predestination.” I said, “They believe that God’s Prophet (s) has not said any of them.” The Imam (s) said, “Then they must say that my forefathers - the Immaculate Imams (s) have not said them either. Rather, they have ascribed lies to them.” The Imam (s) then added, “Whoever believes in likening and predestination is a pagan polytheist. We are not associated with them in this world or in the Hereafter. O son of Khalid! The exaggerators who have underestimated the Majesty of God have falsely shown us as having approved of predestination and likening. Whoever likes them is our enemy. Whoever is their enemy is our friend. Whoever establishes ties of friendship with them has established ties of animosity with us. And whoever establishes animosity with them has established friendship with us. Whoever establishes ties with them has cut off ties from us, and whoever cuts off ties from them has established ties with us. Whoever treats them badly has been kind to us, and whoever treats them kindly has mistreated us. Whoever honors them has insulted us, and whoever insults them has honored us. Whoever accepts them and what they say has rejected us, and whoever rejects them has accepted us. Whoever iskind to them has been unkind to us, and whoever is unkind to them has been kind to us. Whoever acknowledges them has denounced us, and whoever denounces them has acknowledged us. Whoever grants them something has deprived us, and whoever deprives them of something has indeed granted it to us. O son of Khalid! Whoever is one of our followers should not choose a friend or companion for himself from amongst them.”
