IMAM JAFAR (ASWS) BIN MOHAMMAD (ASWS) WHO NARRATES FROM HIS FATHER(ASWS) WHO NARRATES FROM IMAM ALI (ASWS) BIN HUSSAIN (ASWS) WHO NARRATES FROM HIS FATHER IMAM HUSSAIN (ASWS) WHO SAID:
AMEERUL MOMINEEN (ASWS) was sitting in Rahbaha and people were sitting around him when a man stood up and said,
“O AMEERUL MOMINEEN (ASWS), it is ALLAH (SWT) that has placed you in this position however your father will be tortured in Hell.”
AMEERUL MOMINEEN (ASWS) replied,
“I swear by ALLAH (SWT) who sent MUHAMMAD (SAW) as a Prophet that if My Father intercedes for all of the sinners on earth, ALLAH (SWT) will accept it. How can My Father be in Hell, while I, his son, am the one who divides between Paradise and Hell?
I swear by ALLAH (SWT), who sent MUHAMMAD (SAW) as a Prophet, my father’s Noor on the Day of Judgement exceeds the Noor of all creatures except the noor of five noors: the Noor of MUHAMMAD (SAW), my (IMAM ALI(ASWS)’s ) Noor, the noor of FATIMA (SAWS), the Noor of HASAN (ASWS) and HUSSAIN (ASWS), and the Noor of the IMAMS (ASWS) from the sons of HUSSAIN (ASWS).
Be aware that Abu TALIb (as)’s Noor is from Our Noor. ALLAH (SWT) created his Noor two thousand years before He created Adam (AS).”
