42-1 The following was narrated by Ali ibn Abdullah ibn al-Warraq, Al-Husayn ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmad ibn Hisham al-Mo’addib, Hamza ibn Ahmad al-Alawi and Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with them - on the authority of Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi. The following was also narrated by Abu Muhammad Ja’far ibn Nu’aym ibn Shathan - may God be pleased with him - on the authority of Ahmad ibn Idris, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi.Al-Ma’mun was informed that Abal Hassan Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) had held speech meetings, and the people were fascinated by his knowledge. Then Al-Ma’mun ordered his commissionaire Muhammad ibn Amr al-Toosi to fend off the people from attending the Imam’s (a.s.) meetings. He also called Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) in. When Al-Ma’mun saw Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.), he scolded and belittled him. Abul Hassan Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) left there in an angry state. He (a.s.) was moving his lips and saying, “I swear by the right of al-Mustafa (referring to the Prophet Muhammad (S)), al-Murtadha (referring to Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)) and the Principal of all Ladies (referring to the Blessed Lady Fatima (a.s.)) that I will curse him in such a way so as to remove the Honorable the Exalted God’s protection andsupport from him so much that the dogs of this town will throw him out of here and belittle him and the chosen, the regular members of his court. Then Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) went home and asked for some water to make ablutions. He made ablutions and said two units of prayers. Then in the second unit when it was time to say the hands raised-up supplications (Qunut), he said, “O God! O the Possessor of the Absolute Power, Extensive Mercy, Consecutive Blessings and Continued Good! O the One for whose characteristics there can be no examples cited! O the One for whose similitude there can be no examples cited! O the One whom no assisted ones can overcome! O the One who has created and provided sustenance; revealed and made eloquent; created and guided; destined and honored; organized and perfected; designed and beautified! O the One who has provided for proofs so perfect; blessings so complete; rewards so plentiful! O the One who is at such a zenith of Grandeur that it is beyond the ability of the viewers to see! O the One who is at such a deep level of Delicacy that it is beyond the ability of the thoughts to understand! O the One who is the Only one to rule, and there is no one to compete with You in the Domain of Thy Kingdom; O the One who is Unique in Greatness and there is no one to compete with His Almightiness! O the One due to whose Grandeur the minds of the intelligent ones are at a loss, and the eyes of the onlookers have lost their sight before seeing Him! O the Knower of the thoughts of the mystics! O the Witness to the viewing of those who see! O the One for whom the faces have fallen down in prostration due to His Might; and the heads have bowed down due to His Majesty; and the hearts have beaten fearing His appalling presence; and the veins of the neck strongly pulsate due to fearing Him. O the Initiator! O the Innovator! O the Powerful! O the Impenetrable! O the Sublime! Send Blessings upon the Prophet (S) as You honored the prayers for sending blessings upon him. Take my revenge against those who have oppressed me, belittled me, and have fended off the Shiites from my door. Make him taste the bitterness of humiliation and abasement as they made me taste it. Fend him off from the Threshold of Mercy as filth and contamination is fended off!”Abu Salt Abdul Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi said, “The quake shook the town before he had finished saying his prayers. The whole town was in turmoil. There was loud screaming and crying heard. There was a lot of dirt and dust. I did not move until my Master (a.s.) had finished saying hisprayers. Then Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) told me, “O Aba Salt! Go to the roof and look around. There you will see a hustler who incites the rebels. She is wearing dirty clothes. The people of this town call her Samanah since she is dumb and rude. She is using a piece of cane on which she has tied a piece of red cloth and uses it as her flag. She tries to make an army out of the rebels, lead them and guide the rebels to attack Al-Ma’mun’s palace and the houses of the army heads.”I went up onto the roof and looked around. I could only see people with sticks in their hands and others with broken heads. I saw Al-Ma’mun leave the Shahjan Palace wearing armor and running away. I saw nothing more but noted that the apprentice of the phlebotomist threw a rock from the roof hitting Al-Ma’mun on the head. His helmet fell off and his head broke. His skull got so much injured that it seemed as if his brain was about to fall out. One of those who recognized Al-Ma’mun told the person who had thrown the rock, “Woe be to you! This is the Commander of the Faithful!” I heard Samanah tell him, “Shut up you bastard! Today is not the day to treat the people according to their ranks. If he was really the Commander of the Faithful, he would not have made pimps masters of virgins. Then they forced Al-Ma’mun and his troops out of town with the utmost degradation.
Ali ibn Abdullah ibn al-Warraqu et Husayn ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmad ibn Hisham al-Muaddib, Hamzah ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Alawi, et Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja'far al-Hamadhani, qu'Allah soit satisfait d'eux, ont rapporté que Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim, de son père, d'Abd al-Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi, et Muhammad Ja'far ibn Nu'aym ibn Shadhan, qu'Allah soit satisfait de lui, d'Ahmad ibn Idris, d'Ibrahim ibn Hashim, d'Abd al-Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi a dit: "Il fut rapporté à Al-Ma'mun qu'Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Musa al-Rida, que la paix soit sur lui, tenait des assemblées de discours et que les gens étaient troublés par sa connaissance. Alors, Muhammad ibn Amr al-Tusi fut ordonné par Al-Ma'mun de le surveiller et de chasser les gens de sa séance. Il le fit venir et quand il le regarda, il ricana et se moqua de lui. Alors Abu al-Hasan al-Rida, que la paix soit sur lui, sortit de chez lui en colère, ses lèvres tremblantes, disant: "Par le droit du Mustafa, du Murtadha, et de la Dame des femmes, je vais invoquer autour d'Allah pour qu'Il fasse descendre sur lui ce qui sera une cause d'expulsion des chiens de cette région, en raison de leur mépris envers lui, que ce soit individuellement ou collectivement. Ensuite, il se retira à sa place, prit de l'eau, fit ses ablutions, pria deux unités de prière, s'inclina dans la deuxième, et dit: "Ô Toi qui as le pouvoir complet, la miséricorde étendue, les bienfaits continus, les grâces successives, les mains belles, les dons abondants, ô Celui qui n'est pas décrit par une similitude, ni représenté par un équivalent, ni surpassé par un rival, ô Celui qui a créé, pourvu, inspiré, fait parler, initié, légiféré, élevé, élevé, mesuré, embelli, dessiné avec précision, argumenté, communiqué, et qui a généreusement donné, ô Celui qui a été élevé dans la grandeur, surpassant les pensées des yeux, s'approchant de la douceur, satisfaisant les désirs des pensées, ô Celui qui sait les pensées des cœurs des mondes, et qui est témoin des instants des regards des observateurs, ô Celui devant qui les visages s'inclinent par crainte, les cous se soumettent par respect, les cœurs tremblent de peur, et les membres frémissent de sa séparation, ô Initié, Créateur, Puissant, Contraignant, ô Ali, ô Élevé, prie sur celui que Tu as honoré avec la prière, et venge-moi de celui qui m'a opprimé, s'est moqué de moi, a chassé les partisans de ma porte, et fais-lui goûter l'amertume de l'humiliation et de l'abaissement comme Tu me l'as fait goûter, et fais de lui un fugitif des dégoûts et un proscrit des souillures." Abu al-Salt Abd al-Salam ibn Salih al-Harawi a dit: "Mon maître, que la paix soit sur lui, n'a pas achevé sa prière jusqu'à ce que la secousse ait eu lieu à Médine, que la ville ait tremblé, que le sol se soit soulevé, que la clameur et les cris se soient élevés, que la confusion se soit répandue, que la terreur se soit propagée, et que la panique ait éclaté, je n'ai pas quitté ma place jusqu'à ce que mon maître, que la paix soit sur lui, m'ait salué et m'ait dit:
