Al-Kafi 1504

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘The Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:46#h35"><a href="/books/quran:46#h35">[46:35]</a></a> Therefore bear up patiently as did the Determined Ones from the Rasools bear up with</span>’. He^asws said: ‘Nuh^as, and Ibrahim^as, and Musa^as, and Isa^as and Muhammad^saww’. I said, ‘How did they^as come to be the Determined Ones (<span class="iTxt">Ul Al-Azam</span>)?’ He^asws said: ‘Because Nuh^as was Sent with a Book and a Law, and everyone who came after Nuh^as took by the Book of Nuh^as, and his^as Law and his^as manifesto until Ibrahim^as came with the Parchment, and with determination he^as neglected the Book of Nuh^as, not having disbelieved in it. So every Prophet^as who came after Ibrahim^as took by the Law of Ibrahim^as, and his^as manifesto and by the Parchment, until Musa^as came with the Torah and his^as Law, and his^as manifesto, and with determination he^as neglected the Parchment. And every Prophet^as who came after Musa^as took by the Torah, and his^as Law, and his^as manifesto until the Messiah^as came with the Evangel, and with determination he^as superseded the Law of Musa^as, as well as his^as manifesto. So every Prophet^as who came after the Messiah^as adhered to his^as ‘بِشَرِيعَتِهِ’ Law and his^as ‘مِنْهَاجِهِ’ manifesto until Muhammad^saww came. So he^saww came with the Quran and with his^saww ‘بِشَرِيعَتِهِ’ Law and his^saww ‘مِنْهَاجِهِ’ manifesto. Thus, ‘فَحَلَالُهُ حَلَالٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ حَرَامُهُ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ’ his^saww Permissible would be a Permissible up to the day of Judgement, and his^saww Prohibition would be a Prohibition up to the Day of Judgement. So, these are the Determined Ones from the Rasools^saww’.
