The Sufficient (Vol 1) · Hadith 613 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مَنِيعِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ مُجَاشِعٍ عَنْ مُعَلىً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ عَنْ ابي جعفر قَالَ كَانَتْ عَصَا مُوسَى لآدَمَ فَصَارَتْ إِلَى شُعَيْبٍ ثُمَّ صَارَتْ إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَإِنَّهَا لَعِنْدَنَا وَإِنَّ عَهْدِي بِهَا آنِفاً وَهِيَ خَضْرَاءُ كَهَيْئَتِهَا حِينَ انْتُزِعَتْ مِنْ شَجَرَتِهَا وَإِنَّهَا لَتَنْطِقُ إِذَا اسْتُنْطِقَتْ أُعِدَّتْ لِقَائِمِنَا (عجل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) يَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ مُوسَى وَإِنَّهَا لَتَرُوعُ وَتَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ وَتَصْنَعُ مَا تُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِنَّهَا حَيْثُ أَقْبَلَتْ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ يُفْتَحُ لَهَا شُعْبَتَانِ إِحْدَاهُمَا فِي الارْضِ وَالاخْرَى فِي السَّقْفِ وَبَيْنَهُمَا أَرْبَعُونَ ذِرَاعاً تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ بِلِسَانِهَا.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Salma ibn al-Khattab from ‘Abdallah ibn Muhammad from Mani‘ ibn al-Hajjaj al-Basri from Majashi‘ from Mu‘alla from Muhammad ibn al-Fayd from abu Ja‘far who has said the following. “The staff of Moses belonged to Adam. It was passed to Shu‘ayb then to Moses ibn ‘Imran. Now it is with us. I have just, moments before, seen it. It is green just as being picked from its tree. It speaks if it is induced to do so. It is prepared for the one who will rise to establish the kingdom of Allah on earth. He will use it in the same way as Moses had done. It frightens and devours things made to trick people and it accomplishes whatever commands it receives. If it would proceed for a task it devours the treacherous materials. It opens into two branches; one on earth and the other towards the ceiling with an opening of forty yards in between and devours the deceptive materials with its tongue.”
