The Sufficient (Vol 8) · Hadith 597 (#Ḥadīth #1)

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ رَحْمَةٍ اخْتَصَّكُمُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا نُدْخِلُ أَحَداً فِي ضَلَالَةٍ وَ لَا نُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ هُدًى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَجُلًا مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ يَعْمَلُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَا يَرَى فِيكُمْ مُنْكَراً إِلَّا أَنْكَرَهُ.

597. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa’, from Abu Baseer, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said: ‘Abu Ja’far said, when a man came up to him , so he said to him , ‘You all are the People of the Household of Mercy which Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Specialised you all with’. He said: ‘That is what we are, and the Praise is due to Allah (azwj) that we do not enter anyone into misguidance, nor do we take anyone out of Guidance. The world will not end until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic would Send a man from us the People of the Household, who will act by the Book of Allah (azwj). He will not see any evil among you all except that he will forbid it’.
