الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِأَنْ عَرَّفَنَا تَوْحِيدَهُ ثُمَّ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِأَنْ أَقْرَرْنَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِالرِّسَالَةِ ثُمَّ اخْتَصَّنَا بِحُبِّكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ نَتَوَلَّاكُمْ وَ نَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ إِنَّمَا نُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ خَلَاصَ أَنْفُسِنَا مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَ وَ رَقَقْتُ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) سَلْنِي فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَهَا لِمَخْلُوقٍ قَبْلَكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ خَبِّرْنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ ظَلَمَانَا حَقَّنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنَعَا فَاطِمَةَ (صلوات الله عليها) مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا وَ جَرَى ظُلْمُهُمَا إِلَى الْيَوْمِ قَالَ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ وَ نَبَذَا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمَا.
74. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah that, ‘Allah (azwj) Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we recognised His (azwj) Oneness, then Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we accepted the Prophet-hood of Muhammad ﷺ, then Specialised us with your love, the People of the Household that we befriended you, and keep away from your enemies, and we intend by that to save ourselves from the Fire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I sympathised with him and cried’. So Abu Abdullah said: ‘Ask me , for by Allah (azwj), you will not ask me about a thing except that I will inform you of it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abdul Malik Bin Ayn, ‘I have not heard him say that to any creature before you’. I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He said: ‘They were unjust to us of our rights in the Book of Allah (azwj), and with us Fatima , the inheritance from her father ﷺ, and the injustices of these two still flow up to this day’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he gestured to his back’, (and said): ‘They threw the Book of Allah (azwj) behind their two backs’.
