A donkey and a mule

417. From him, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Anbasat Bin Hishaam, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Al-Hakam Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Qasim that he heard Abdullah Bin Ata’a saying that: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Arise, and saddle two animals, a donkey and a mule’. So I saddled a donkey and a mule and offered the mule to him عليه الصلاة والسلام as I opined that it was more beloved of the two to him عليه الصلاة والسلام. he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Who ordered you to offer to me عليه الصلاة والسلام this mule?’ I said, ‘I chose it for you عليه الصلاة والسلام’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘And did I عليه الصلاة والسلام order you to choose for me عليه الصلاة والسلام?’ Then said: ‘The most preferable of the pack, to me عليه الصلاة والسلام is the donkey’. So I offered the donkey to him عليه الصلاة والسلام and grabbed the reins for him عليه الصلاة والسلام. He عليه الصلاة والسلام climbed upon it and said; ‘Praise be to Allah عز وجل Who Guided us عليه الصلاة والسلام by Al-Islam, and Taught us عليه الصلاة والسلام the Quran, and Bestowed upon us عليه الصلاة والسلام by Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. Praise be to Allah عز وجل “[43:13] Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it [43:14] And surely to our Lord we must return”, and Praise be to Allah عز وجل the Lord عز وجل of the Worlds’. And he عليه الصلاة والسلام went and I went (with him عليه الصلاة والسلام) until we reached another place. I said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘The Salat, may I be sacrificed for you عليه الصلاة والسلام’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘This is a valley of the ants, one cannot Pray here’, until we reached another place. I said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام similar to that. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said; ‘This is a salty ground, one cannot Pray here’. (The narrator) said, ‘Until he عليه الصلاة والسلام descended by himself عليه الصلاة والسلام. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said to me: ‘Have you Prayed or done your Glorification (Tasbeeh)?’ I said, ‘This Salat which the people of Iraq have named it as Al-Zawwaal’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Those who perform the ‘Salat’, are the Shites of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Abu Talib عليه الصلاة والسلام, and it is the Salat which often reaches Allah عز وجل’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام Prayed, and I Prayed. Then I grabbed the reins for him عليه الصلاة والسلام, then he عليه الصلاة والسلام said what he عليه الصلاة والسلام had said at the beginning, then said: ‘Our Allah عز وجل! Curse the Murjiites, for they are our عليه الصلاة والسلام enemies in the world and the Hereafter’. So I said to him عليه الصلاة والسلام: ‘May I be sacrificed for you عليه الصلاة والسلام, what made you عليه الصلاة والسلام to remember the Murjiites?’ He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘I عليه الصلاة والسلام just thought about them’.
