Al-Kafi 15130

Translation

<a id="_Toc492473470">H 14789</a> – Hanaan, from his father, who has said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ja’far</span>^asws has said: ‘The people turned apostate after the Prophet^saww except for three’. So I said, ‘And which three?’ So he^asws said: ‘Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad^ar, and Abu Dharr Al-Ghaffari^ar, and Salman Al-Farsy^ar, may the Mercy of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Blessing be upon them^ar. Then the people realised after a while’. And he^asws said: ‘They^ar are the ones upon whom the grinding stone turned, but they still refused to pledge their^ar allegiances until they went to Amir-ul-Momineen^asws, so they pledged their^ar allegiances under threat, and that is the Statement of Allah^azwj the High: <span class="ibTxt">“<a href="/#/books/quran:3#h144"><a href="/books/quran:3#h144">[3:144]</a></a> And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful”</span>.’
