Al-Kafi 9601

Translation

Ahmad, from Ismail Bin Mihran who said, ‘Abdul Malik Bin Abu Al Haris narrated to us, from Jabir, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws addressed with this sermon, so he^asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj. I^asws Praise Him^asws, and seek His^azwj Support, and seek His^azwj Forgiveness, and seek His^azwj Guidance, and believe in Him^azwj, and rely upon Him^saww. And I^asws testify that there is no god except for Allah^azwj, One, there being no associates for Him^azwj. And I^asws testify that Muhammad^saww is His^azwj servant and His^azwj Rasool^saww, having Sent him^saww with the Guidance and the True Religion, in order to Make it to prevail over the Religions, all of them, evidencing to Him^azwj, and calling to Him^azwj. So He^azwj Pulverised the pillars of the disbelief and Illuminated the lanterns of the belief. The one who obeys Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww, his way would become the way of true guidance and the light of piety would be his evidence; and the one who disobeys Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww, would miss the paths altogether and would never harm anyone except for himself. I^asws hereby advise you, servants of Allah^azwj, with the fear of Allah^asws, being an advice of an adviser, and a preaching of the one who delivers and strives. Thereafter, Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Made Al-Islam as the enlightened path wherein are sparkling flags^asws. The hearts gather therein and upon it the brethren become brothers; and that which is between us^asws and you from that, is constant cordiality, and an ancient Covenant. Everyone recognises everyone to the entirety of that which we^asws are upon. May Allah^azwj Forgive us^asws and you, and the greetings to you all, and Mercy of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Blessings’.
