5-36- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ، عَنْ شَرِيفِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ أبِى قُرَّةَ، عَنْ أبِى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع)، قَالَ: «قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص): ’قَالَتِ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ لِعِيسَي: ’يَا رُوحَ اللَّهِ، مَنْ نُجَالِسُ؟‘ قَالَ: ’مَنْ يُذَكِّرُكُمُ اللَّهَ رُؤْيَتُهُ، وَيَزِيدُ فِى عِلْمِكُمْ مَنْطِقُهُ، وَيُرَغِّبُكُمْ فِى الآخِرَةِ عَمَلُهُ.‘‘» (الكافي، 1، 39، 3) |

THE CONVERSATIONS OF JESUS 9 5.38. Imam Sadiq (a.s.)said, “The Apostles met with Jesus (a.s.) and said to him, ‘O teacher of the good! Guide us!’ He said to them, ‘Verily Moses the interlocutor of Allahu commanded you not to swear by Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, falsely, and I command you not to swear by Allah falsely or truly.’ They said, ‘O Spirit of Allah! Guide us more!’ Then he said, ‘Verily Moses the prophet of Allahu commanded you not to commit adultery, and I command you not to talk to yourselves about adultery, let alone to commit adultery. Verily one who talks to himself about adultery is like one who sets fire to a room that is decorated so the smoke damages the decor, even though the room is not burnt.’” (Kafi, 5, 542, 7) |

5-38- عَلِىُّ بْنُ إبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أبِيهِ؛ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أبِى الْعَبَاسِ الْكُوفِيِّ، جَمِيعًا عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَنَانٍ، عَنْ أبِى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع)، قَالَ: «إجْتَمَعَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ إلَي عِيسَي (ع)، فَقَالَوا لَهُ: ’يَا مُعَلِّمَ الْخَيْرِ أرْشِدْنَا.‘ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ: ’إنَّ مُوسَي كَلِيمَ اللَّهِ (ع) أمَرَكُمْ أنْ لاَ تَحْلِفُوا بَاللَّهِ، تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَي، كَاذِبِينَ، وَأنَا ءَامُرُكُمْ أنْ لاَ تَحْلِفُوا بَاللَّهِ كَاذِبِينَ وَلاَ صَادِقِينَ.‘ قَالُوا: ’يَا رُوحَ اللَّهِ، زِدْنَا.‘ فَقَالَ: ’إنَّ مُوسَي نَبِى اللَّهِ (ع) أمَرَكُمْ أنْ لاَ تَزْنُوا، وَأنَا آمُرُكُمْ أنْ لاَ تُحَدِّثُوا أنْفُسَكُمْ بَالزِّنَا، فَضْلاَ عَنْ أنْ تَزْنُوا. فَإنَّ مَنْ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ بَالزِّنَا كَانَ كَمَنْ أوْقَدَ فِى بَيْتٍ مُزَوَّقٍ، فَأفْسَدَ التَّزَاوِيقَ الدُّخَانُ، وَإنْ لَمْ يَحْتَرِقِ الْبَيْتُ.‘» (الكافي، 5، 542، 7) |

THE CONVERSATIONS OF JESUS 10 5.43. Ahmad ibn Sahl said, “I heard from Abu Farwah al-Ansari, who was a traveler, ‘Jesus(a.s.) said, “O company of disciples! In truth I say to you, verily the people say that a building is based on its foundation, and I do not say such things to you.” They said, “Then, what do you say, O Spirit of Allah?” He said, “In truth I say to you, verily the final stone the worker sets is the foundation.” Abu Farwah said, “Surely he meant the end of a task.”’” (Bihar, 68, 364, 54) |

GOD'S WORDS TO JESUS 1 6.20. Allah, the Great and Almighty, said to Jesus(a.s.), “O Jesus! Remember me within yourself and I will remember you within myself, and remember me publicly and I will remember you publicly in a public better than that of the people. O Jesus! Soften your heart for me and remember me much in solitude, and know that my pleasure is in your shuddering [literally wagging the tail, taken as an indication of fear or being driven in an animal] for me, and be alive in that and be not dead.” (Kafi, 2, 502, 3) |

GOD'S WORDS TO JESUS 2 6.28. ‘Ali ibn AsbaT has reported from the Household of the Prophet, peace be with them, this from among the admonitions of Allah, the Exalted and Sublime, given to Jesus(a.s.): “O Jesus! I am your Lord and the Lord of your father. My name is One and I am the One, the Unique in having created everything. All things have been made by Me and all return to Me. O Jesus! You are the Messiah by My command, and you create from clay what has a shape like a bird by My permission, and you revive the dead by My word, so be one who beseeches Me and one who fears Me, and apart from Me seek no sanctuary except toward Me. O Jesus! I charged you in tenderness to you though mercy until you became worthy of my friendship (wilayah) because you sought My pleasure and so you were blessed when old and you were blessed when young wherever you were. I bear witness that you are My servant, son of my handmaid. Let Me into your soul as your foremost regard, and make the remembrance of Me the means to your return, and draw near to Me through the supererogatory deeds. And trust in Me that I may suffice for you and do not trust in any other than Me so that I abandon you. O Jesus, son of the Virgin Lady! Weep for yourself with the weeping of one who bade goodbye to his home, deserted this world and left it to the worldly so that he became one beseeching what is with his God. O Jesus! In addition to this, be someone who speaks mildly, who offers salaams vigorously, and who keeps awake while the eyes of the pious sleep in order to beware of the Day of the Return and severe earthquakes and the terrors of the Resurrection Day when neither household nor wealth nor offspring shall profit one. “O Jesus! I am not content that the world should be the reward of those who were near you nor as a chastisement for those you would punish. O Jesus! You perish and I remain, and your provision is from Me. The term appointed for you is with Me, and to Me is your return and with Me is your reckoning. So ask from me and do not ask from any other, so that your supplication may be suitable and I will answer it. O Jesus! How numerous are the people and how few is the number of the patient. The trees are numerous, but those that are good among them are few. Do not be deceived by the beauty of a tree until you taste its fruit. O Jesus! Do not be deceived by he who rebels against me by sin. He eats what I have provided for him but he serves another. Then he calls on Me in his sorrow, and I answer him. Then he returns to what he had been doing. Does he rebel against Me or does he seek My wrath? By Me, I have sworn I will take him with a taking from which he cannot be delivered and other than Me he can find no shelter. Where will he escape from My heaven and earth? O Jesus! Let your tongue say the same in secret and in the open, and let your heart and your vision be in accord with that. Turn your heart and your tongue entirely away from the forbidden, and withhold your eyes from anything in which there is no good. How many a beholder there has been whose look planted in their hearts a lust and threw them into the pit of destruction. O Jesus! Be merciful with great mercy, and behave in such a way that you wish others to treat you, and increase your remembrance of death, and departing from your household, and avoid wasting your time, for wasting time corrupts one, and do not be heedless, for he who is heedless of Me is far away from Me. And remember Me by doing righteous acts so that I will remember you. O Jesus! How can the servants disbelieve in Me when their forelocks are in My fist and their changes take place on My earth? They are ignorant of My blessings and they are supporters of My enemy, and so the disbelievers are perishing. O Jesus! Say to the unjust of the Children of Israel: You wash your faces and soil your hearts. Are you deceived about me, or would you be audacious toward me. For the worldly you use perfumes, but to me your stomachs are like putrid corpse, as though you were a dead people. |
