Hadith 104
۞
9-1 Abul Hassan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Hussein al-Bazzaz quoted on the authority of Abu Tahir As-Samani on the authority of Abul Qasim Bishr ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Abul Hussein Ahmad ibn Mahan, on the authority of Ubaydillah al-Bazzaz al-Neishaboori who was an old man, “Homayd ibn Qahtaba Al-Ta’ee At-Toosi and I made a deal. I went on a journey to see him. He was informed of my arrival and called me in. I went to see him wearing the clothes with which I had been traveling in at noon. This happened in the (Arabic) month of Ramadhan. Once
I entered, I saw him sitting in a house from the middle of which a stream of water was flowing. I greeted him and sat down. They brought a pan and a jar. He washed his hands and then he ordered me to wash mine. They spread out the tablecloth and I forgot that I was fasting and it was the (Arabic) month of Ramadhan. I started to eat, then I remembered and stopped eating. Homayd said, “Why aren’t you eating?” I said, “O Amir! It is the (Arabic) month of Ramadhan and I am neither ill, nor do I have an excuse not to fast. It may be that the Amir has an illness, or an excuse due to which you are breaking your fast.” He said, “No, I am not ill, nor do I have an excuse allowing me to break my fast. I am perfectly healthy. Then his eyes filled with tears and he cried. Then after he finished eating, I said, “O Amir! What made you cry?” He said, “One night when Harun Ar-Rashid was in Toos, he sent someone to call me in. When I entered, I saw a lit candle and a green sword drawn out of its sheath in front of him. A servant was standing in front of him. When I stood in front of him, he raised his head and asked me, “How much will you obey the Commander of the Faithful (meaning himself)?” I said, “I am at your service with my wealth and my life.” He looked down and dismissed me. I went home. A short time later, the same man came and said, “The Commander of the Faithful has called you in again.” I told myself, “To God is our return.” I found out that he wanted to kill me, butwas too shy to do it the last time I went there. I went to see him again. He asked, “How much will you obey the Commander of the Faithful (the caliph)?” I said, “With my life, my wealth, my wife and my children.” He laughed and dismissed me again. As soon as I reached home again, the same messenger came to me and said, “The Commander of the Faithful has called you in.” Then I went to see him again. He raised his head as he had done before and asked, “How much do you obey the Commander of the Faithful?” I said, “With my life, my wealth, my wife, my children and my religion.” Then he laughed and said, “Take this sword, and do whatever this servant orders you to do.” The servant picked up the sword, handed it to me and took me to a house. The door was locked. He unlocked it. There was a well in the middle, and there were three locked rooms. He opened one of the doors. There were twenty people imprisoned there. Their hair had grown long. The servant said, “The Commander of the Faithful has ordered you to kill them.” They were all descendants of the Prophet (s). The servant brought them out one by one. I beheaded them. The servant dropped their heads and their corpses into the well. Then he unlocked the other door. There were another twenty descendants of the Prophet (s) imprisoned there. He said, “The Commander of the Faithful has ordered you to kill them.” Then he opened the door and brought them out one at a time. I beheaded them. He dropped the corpses in the well. All twenty were killed. Then he opened the door of the third room. There were twenty other descendants of the Prophet (s) with long hair in chains there. The servant said, “The Commander of the Faithful has ordered you to kill them.” He brought them out of the room one by one. I beheaded them, and the servant dropped them in the well. Nineteen of them were killed in this way. Then an old man with long white hair was left. He faced me and said, “O wicked one! May you be destroyed! What excuse will you have when you are brought on the Resurrection Day to face our grandfather, God’s Prophet (s), for killing sixty of his descendants?” Then my hands started to shake and my body was shivering. The servant looked at me angrily and yelled at me. I walked ahead and killed that old man. The servant dropped his corpse in the well. What is the benefit of praying and fasting for me now that I have killed sixty descendants of God’s Prophet (s)? I have no doubt that I will reside in Hell forever.”The author of this book (Sheikh Sadooq) said, “Such behaviour with the descendants of the Prophet of God (s) were also carried out by Mansour (Dawaniqi). “
