542. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad All Yamani, from Masma’a Bin All Hajjaj, from Sabbah Al-Haza’a, from Sabbah Al-Muzny, who has narrated from Jabir the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام has said; ‘When the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم grabbed the hand of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام on the Day of Al-Ghadeer, Iblees (la) screamed in his (la) army a loud scream. So there did not remain anyone from among them, either in the land or in the sea except that he came to him (la). So they said, ‘O our chief and our master, what was that shriek which we heard which was so frightening that you (la) have never screamed like this before’. So he (la) said to them, ‘It was the action of this Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, if acted upon, no one would disobey Allah عز وجل ever’. So they said, ‘O our chief, you (la) dealt with Adam عليه السلام’. So when the hypocrites said, ‘He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم speak out of desires’, and one of them two (Abu Bakr and Umar) said to his companion, ‘Did you see his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم turn in his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم head as if he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم is a mad man?’ (By this) meaning the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Iblees (la) screamed with a scream of pleasure. So his (la) friends gathered. So he (la) said, ‘But, do you know that I (la) dealt with Adam عليه السلام beforehand?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He (la) said, ‘Adam عليه السلام set aside the Covenant and did not blaspheme with the Lord عز وجل, and these ones have set aside the Covenant and blasphemed against the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم’. So when the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم passed away and the people established someone other than Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام, Iblees (la) wore a crown of the king and established a pulpit and sat upon the cushion, and gathered his (la) cavalry and his (la) infantry. Then he (la) said to them, ‘Be delighted! Allah عز وجل will not be obeyed until the Imam عليه الصلاة والسلام makes a stand’. And Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام recited: “[34:20] And certainly the Shaitan found true his conjecture concerning them, so they follow him, except a party of the believers”. Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘The explanation of this Verse came to the fore when the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم passed away, and the conjecture from Iblees (la) where they said to the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم that he صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم speak out of desire, so Iblees (la) conjectured about them with a conjecture and they made his (la) conjecture to come true’.
