Al-Kafi 6881

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Ayoub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said, ‘A man said to Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws, ‘You^asws neglected the Jihad and necessitated the Hajj and its softness?’ He said, ‘And he^asws was reclining, so he^asws sat up and said: ‘Woe be unto you! Has it not reached you what Rasool-Allah^saww said in the Farewell Hajj? It was when he^saww had paused at Arafat and the sun had inclined to set, Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O Bilal! Say to the people, so let them be silent’. So when they were silent, Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Your Lord^azwj has Extended (Favours) upon you in this day, so He^azwj Forgave your good-doers, and Interceded for your good-doers regarding your evil-doers. Therefore depart (with your sins having been) Forgiven for you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And (narrators) other than Al-Sumaly have increased that, ‘He^saww said: ‘Except for the people with the liabilities, for Allah^azwj is Just. He^azwj Takes for the weak ones, from the strong ones’. So when it was the night of Friday, he^saww did not cease to whisper to his^saww Lord^azwj, and he^saww asked Him^azwj for the people with the liabilities. So when he^saww paused at Jam’a, said to Bilal: ‘Say to the people, so let them be silent!’ So when they were silent, he^saww said: ‘Your Lord^azwj has Extended (Favours) upon you in this day, so He^azwj Forgave your good-doers, and Interceded for your good-doers regarding your evil-doers. Therefore depart (with your sins having been) Forgiven for you, and He^azwj has Taken the Responsibility for the people with the liabilities of the pleasure (of their creditors) from His^azwj Presence’.
