Hadith of Adam,'Alayhim al-Salam with the tree

92. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza, who has said: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام having said that: ‘Allah عز وجل Blessed and High Covenanted to Adam عليه السلام that he عليه السلام would not go near the tree. When the time came which was in the Knowledge of Allah عز وجل, he عليه السلام ate from it. He عليه السلام ate from it in forgetfulness and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “[20:115] And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination”. So when Adam عليه السلام ate from the tree, he عليه السلام came to the earth. There were born to him عليه السلام Habeel عليه السلام and his عليه السلام sister as twins, and there were born to him عليه السلام Qabeel (la) and his (la) sister as twins’. Adam عليه السلام ordered Habeel عليه السلام and Qabeel (la) that they should make an offering. And Habeel عليه السلام was a shepherd and Qabeel (la) was a farmer. Habeel عليه السلام presented a ram from the best of his عليه السلام sheep, and Qabeel presented from his farm what had not ripened yet. So the offering of Habeel عليه السلام was Accepted and the offering of Qabeel (lar) was not Accepted, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[5:27] And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam with truth when they both offered an offering, but it was accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the other” up to the end of the Verse. And it was that the offering was consumed by the Fire. So Qabeel (la) resorted to the Fire and built for it a house and it was the first of the houses to be built for the fire. He (la) said, ‘I (la) will worship this fire until my (la) offering is Accepted from me (la)’. Then Iblees (la) came to him (la) and he (la) used to flow in the son of Adam (la) like the flowing of blood in the veins. So he (la) said to him (la), ‘O Qabeel (la)! The offering of Habeel عليه السلام has been Accepted whilst your (la) offering has not been Accepted, and if you (la) were to leave him عليه السلام, his عليه السلام descendants would pride themselves over your (la) descendants and they will be saying to them, ‘We are the descendants of the one عليه السلام whose offering was Accepted’. So kill him عليه السلام so that he عليه السلام would not have descendants to be able to gloat over your (la) descendants’. So he (la) killed him عليه السلام. When Qabeel (la) returned to Adam عليه السلام, he عليه السلام said to him (la): ‘O Qabeel (la), where is Habeel عليه السلام?’ He (la) said, ‘Seek him عليه السلام where we offered the offerings’. So Adam عليه السلام went and found Habeel عليه السلام murdered. Adam عليه السلام said: ‘Curse be upon the land which accepted the blood of Habeel عليه السلام. And Adam عليه السلام wept upon Habeel عليه السلام for forty nights. Then Adam عليه السلام asked his عليه السلام Lord عز وجل for a son. So a boy was born to him عليه السلام and he عليه السلام named him عليه السلام as Hibbat Allah (Gift of Allah عز وجل) because Allah عز وجل Gifted him عليه السلام to him عليه السلام, and his عليه السلام sister as twins. So when the Prophet-hood of Adam عليه السلام came to an end, and his عليه السلام days were complete, Allah عز وجل Revealed unto him عليه السلام: “O Adam عليه السلام! Your عليه السلام Prophet-hood has ended and your عليه السلام days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in your عليه السلام possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Knowledge, and the effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to be in your عليه السلام descendants to be in the possession of Hibbat Allah عليه السلام, for I عز وجل will never Cut off the Knowledge, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the effects of the Prophet-hood from your عليه السلام progeny up to the Day of Judgement, and will never Leave the earth except that there will be in it a knowledgeable one by whom My عز وجل Religion would be recognised, and obedience to Me عز وجل would be recognised, and salvation would lie in the ones born between you عليه السلام and between Noah عليه السلام”. And Adam عليه السلام gave him عليه السلام the good news of Noah عليه السلام so he عليه السلام said: ‘Allah عز وجل will be Sending a Prophet عليه السلام whose name is Noah عليه السلام and he عليه السلام would call to Allah عز وجل is His عز وجل Mention, but his عليه السلام people would belie him عليه السلام. So Allah عز وجل would Destroy them by the storm’. And in between Adam عليه السلام and Noah عليه السلام were altogether ten generations of Prophets عليه السلام and successors عليه السلام. And Adam عليه السلام bequeathed to Hibbat Allah عليه السلام that: ‘The ones among you عليه السلام who would meet him عليه السلام should believe in him عليه السلام, and follow him عليه السلام, and ratify him عليه السلام for he عليه السلام would save you from drowning (loosing faith)’. Then Adam عليه السلام became ill with an illness in which he عليه السلام passed away, so he عليه السلام sent for Hibbat Allah عليه السلام and said to him عليه السلام: ‘If you meet Jibraeel or meet any of the Angels, so covey greetings from me عليه السلام and say to him: ‘O Jibraeel, my عليه السلام father عليه السلام will be guiding you from the fruits of the Paradise’. Jibraeel said to him عليه السلام: ‘O Hibbat Allah عليه السلام, your عليه السلام father عليه السلام has been Captured (passed away) and we are descending to Pray on him عليه السلام, so return’. He عليه السلام returned and found Adam عليه السلام to have passed away. Jibraeel showed him عليه السلام how to wash him عليه السلام. So he عليه السلام washed him عليه السلام until when he عليه السلام came to Pray over him عليه السلام. Hibbat Allah عليه السلام said: ‘O Jibraeel, go forward and Pray over Adam عليه السلام’. Jibraeel said to him عليه السلام: ‘Verily Allah عز وجل has Commanded us that we should prostrate to your عليه السلام father عليه السلام whilst he عليه السلام was in the Paradise, so it is not for us to lead anyone from his عليه السلام sons’. So Hibbat Allah عليه السلام led the Prayed over his عليه السلام father and Jibraeel and the army of the Angels were behind him عليه السلام and Exclaimed Takbeer over him عليه السلام thirty times. So Jibraeel was ordered (to announce) for twenty-five exclamations of Takbeer to be lifted from it and the Sunnah of today is of five Takbeers, whilst the exclamations (Takbeers) over the people of Badr were nine and seven’. Thereafter, when Hibbat Allah عليه السلام had buried his عليه السلام father عليه السلام, Qabeel (la) came up to him عليه السلام and said, ‘O Hibbat Allah عليه السلام! I have seen my (la) father عليه السلام that he عليه السلام had specialised you عليه السلام with the Knowledge by what he عليه السلام had not specialised me (la) with, and it was the Knowledge by which your عليه السلام brother عليه السلام Habeel عليه السلام had supplicated by. So his عليه السلام offering was Accepted, therefore I (la) killed him عليه السلام so that his عليه السلام descendants would not be able to gloat over my (la) descendants by saying, ‘We are the sons of the one عليه السلام whose offering was Accepted whilst you are the sons of the one (lar) whose offering was unsuccessful’. So if you عليه السلام were to display anything from the Knowledge which your عليه السلام father عليه السلام has specialised you عليه السلام with, I (la) will kill you عليه السلام just like I (la) killed your عليه السلام brother Habeel عليه السلام’. So Hibbat Allah عليه السلام and the descendants from him عليه السلام continued with what was in their possession, in a fearful (observing Taqeeya) manner, the Knowledge, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Prophet-hood, and the effect of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood until Allah عز وجل Sent Noah عليه السلام and the will of Hibbat Allah عليه السلام was displayed. When they (the descendants) look in the bequest of Adam عليه السلام they found Noah عليه السلام as a Prophet عليه السلام the good news which Adam عليه السلام had given them of. So they believed in him عليه السلام, and followed him عليه السلام and ratified him عليه السلام. And Adam عليه السلام had bequeathed to Hibbat Allah عليه السلام that he عليه السلام should frequently refer to the will during the start of every year and make it to be a day of Eid for them. They did that during the era of Noah عليه السلام and the time of his عليه السلام coming out and that is what has come in the will of every Prophet عليه السلام until Allah عز وجل Sent Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and they recognised Noah عليه السلام by the Knowledge which was in their possession, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic: “[11:25] And certainly We sent Nuh to his people” up to the end of the Verse. And there were in between Adam عليه السلام and Noah عليه السلام, Prophets عليه السلام who were in hiding and it is for that reason their عليه السلام mention is hidden in the Quran. So they عليه السلام have not been named as have been named the proclaimed Prophets عليه السلام, greetings be upon all of them عليه السلام, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل; “[4:164] And (We sent) Rasools We have mentioned to you before and Rasools we have not mentioned to you”, meaning the hidden ones from the Prophets عليه السلام have not been named as the proclaimed ones have been named. Noah عليه السلام lived among his عليه السلام people for a thousand years less fifty (950) years. He عليه السلام did not associate anyone in his عليه السلام Prophet-hood for he عليه السلام had come to a people who had rejected the Prophets عليه السلام who were between him عليه السلام and Adam عليه السلام and that is the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “[26:105] The people of Nuh rejected the Rasools”, meaning the ones عليه السلام who were in between him عليه السلام and Adam عليه السلام to end in His عز وجل Statement, the Mighty and Majestic: “[26:191] And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful”. So when the Prophet-hood of Noah عليه السلام came to an end and his عليه السلام days were completed, Allah عز وجل Revealed unto him عليه السلام that: “O Noah عليه السلام! Your عليه السلام Prophet-hood has come to an end and your عليه السلام days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in your عليه السلام possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood, to be in the descendants from your عليه السلام progeny, for I عز وجل will never Cut it off from the houses of the Prophets عليه السلام which is your عليه السلام house and between Adam عليه السلام, and I عز وجل will never Leave the earth except that there will be in it a knowledgeable one by whom My عز وجل Religion would be recognised by, and obedience to Me عز وجل would be recognised by, and salvation would lie in the ones who are born during what is in between the Capture (passing away) of a Prophet عليه السلام up to the coming out of another Prophet عليه السلام. And Noah عليه السلام gave the good news of Hud عليه السلام to Saam عليه السلام and there were Prophets عليه السلام in between Noah عليه السلام and Hud عليه السلام. And Noah عليه السلام said that Allah عز وجل will Send a Prophet عليه السلام called Hud عليه السلام, and he عليه السلام would call his عليه السلام people to Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic. They would belie him عليه السلام and Allah عز وجل will Destroy them by the wind. So the ones among you who meet him عليه السلام should believe in him عليه السلام, and follow him عليه السلام for Allah عز وجل would Rescue him from the Punishment of the wind. And Noah عليه السلام ordered his عليه السلام son عليه السلام Sam عليه السلام that he عليه السلام should look at this bequest at the start of every year and make it to be a day of Eid for them. So they observed that which was in their possession from the Knowledge, and the belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood. They found Hud عليه السلام as a Prophet عليه السلام and their father Noah عليه السلام had given them the good news of him عليه السلام beforehand. So they believed in him عليه السلام, and followed him عليه السلام, and ratified him عليه السلام, and were therefore Rescued from the Punishment of the wind, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “[7:65] And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[26:123] (The people of) A’ad denied the Rasools (of Allah). [26:124] When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?”, and the Blessed and High Said: “[2:132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub”, and His عز وجل Statement: “[6:84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub and Made it to be in his عليه السلام Household ; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before,” and Made it to be in his عليه السلام Household, so the descendants of the Prophets عليه السلام believed in them عليه السلام, and those that lived before Ibrahim عليه السلام believed in Ibrahim عليه السلام. And there were Prophets عليه السلام in between Ibrahim عليه السلام and Hud عليه السلام and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل; “[11:89], nor are the people of Lut far off from you”, and His عز وجل Statement, Mighty is His عز وجل Mention: “[29:26] And Lut believed in Him, and he said: I am fleeing to my Lord”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[29:16] And (We sent) Ibrahim, when he said to his people: Serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him; this is best for you, if you did but know”. So there came in between every two Prophets عليه السلام, ten, or nine, or eight Prophets عليه السلام, and all of them were Prophets عليه السلام, and there happened for every Prophet عليه السلام what happened for Noah عليه السلام, as is what had happened to Adam عليه السلام, and Hud عليه السلام, and Salih عليه السلام, and Shuayb عليه السلام, and Ibrahim عليه السلام until it ended up to Yusuf Bin Yaqoub عليه السلام. Then, from after Yusuf عليه السلام it went to the grandsons until it ended up to Musa عليه السلام. And there were Prophets عليه السلام in between Yusuf عليه السلام and Musa عليه السلام. So Allah عز وجل Sent Musa عليه السلام and Haroun عليه السلام to Pharaoh (la), and Hamaan (la), and Qaroun (la). “[23:44] Then We sent Our Rasools one after another; whenever there came to a people their Rasool, they called him a liar, so We made some of them follow others and We made them stories”. And the Children of Israel killed a Prophet عليه السلام, and if two were established they killed two, and four would be established, to the extent that sometimes they killed seventy Prophets عليه السلام in one day, and they set up the market and killed them عليه السلام at the end of the day. So when the Torah was Revealed unto Musa عليه السلام, it gave the good News of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and in between Yusuf عليه السلام and Musa عليه السلام were Prophets عليه السلام. And Musa عليه السلام had bequeathed to Yoshua bin Noon عليه السلام and he عليه السلام was the young man whom Allah عز وجل Mentioned in His عز وجل Book. The Prophets عليه السلام never ceased to give the good News of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم until Allah عز وجل Blessed and High Sent the Messiah Isa Bin Maryam عليه السلام. So he عليه السلام gave the good News of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and that is the Statement of the High: “[7:157] they find meaning the Jews and the Christians written down with them meaning the description of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil,” and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “[61:6] And when Isa son of Marium said giving the good news of an Rasool who will come after me, his name being Ahmad,”, and Musa عليه السلام and Isa عليه السلام gave the good news of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم just as the Prophets عليه السلام had given to one another until it reached Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم. So when the Prophet-hood of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم came to an end, and his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم days were completed, Allah عز وجل Blessed and High Revealed unto him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم: “O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم! Your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Prophet-hood has come to an end and your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to be in the People عليه الصلاة والسلام of your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Household in the possession of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام Bin Abu Talib عليه الصلاة والسلام, for I عز وجل will never Cut off the Knowledge, and the belief, and the Great Name, and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood from the descendants of your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Progeny عليه الصلاة والسلام just as I عز وجل never Cut it off from the Houses of the Prophets عليه السلام which were in between you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم father Adam عليه السلام, and that is the Statement of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High: “[3:33] Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations [3:34] Offspring one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing”. And Allah عز وجل Blessed and High never Makes the Knowledge to be among the ignorant ones, and never Allocates His عز وجل Command to anyone from His عز وجل creatures, not even to an Angel of Proximity, and not to a ‘نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ’ Mursal Nabi عليه السلام, but He عز وجل Sends Rasools from His عز وجل Angels and Said to him: “Say such and such”. So He عز وجل Commanded them with what He عز وجل Loves and Prohibited them from what He عز وجل Abhors. So He عز وجل Related to them the affairs of His عز وجل creatures by the Knowledge. So He عز وجل Taught that Knowledge, and Taught His عز وجل Prophets عليه السلام, and His عز وجل and the specials ones from the Prophets عليه السلام, and the brothers, and the descendants who were one from another, so that is the Statement of the Majestic and Mighty: “[4:54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim’s children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom”. So, as for the Book, it is the Prophet-hood, and as for the Wisdom, so they عليه السلام are the wise ones from the Prophets عليه السلام from the elite, and as for the Great Kingdom, so they عليه الصلاة والسلام are the Imams عليه الصلاة والسلام of the guidance from the elite, and all of these are from the descendants who were one from the other. And the knowledgeable ones are the one whom Allah عز وجل has Made to be among them the remainders, and in them عليه الصلاة والسلام is the eventual end, and the preservation of the Covenant until the world comes to an end. And the knowledgeable ones and the Guardians of the Command (Wali Ul Amr) are the interpreters of the Knowledge and the guidance. So this is the Glory of the elite and the Rasools عليه السلام, and the Prophets عليه السلام, and the Wise ones, and the Imams عليه الصلاة والسلام of guidance, and the Caliphs who are the Guardians of the Command of Allah عز وجل, and the interpreters of the Knowledge of Allah عز وجل, and the people of the effects of the Knowledge of Allah عز وجل from the descendants who are one from another from the elite after the Prophets عليه السلام from the fathers, and the brothers, and the descendants from the Prophets عليه السلام. So the ones who sought protection by the merit ended up with their عليه السلام Knowledge and were rescued by their عليه السلام help, and the ones who placed the Guardians of the Command of Allah عز وجل and the people of the interpretation (Istanbaat) in others than the elites from the Houses of the Prophets عليه السلام have opposed the Command of Allah عز وجل, and made the ignorant ones to be as the guardians of the command of Allah عز وجل (wali al-amr), and the pretenders without guidance from Allah عز وجل and they claim that they are the ones who are the people of interpretation (Istanbaat) of the Knowledge of Allah عز وجل, so they have belied against Allah عز وجل and His عز وجل Rasool صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and disregarded his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم successor عليه الصلاة والسلام and being obedient to him عليه الصلاة والسلام, and did not place the Preference of Allah عز وجل where Allah عز وجل Blessed and High had Placed it. So they went astray and led astray those who followed them, and there will be no argument for them on the Day of Judgement. But rather, the Proof is among the Progeny of Ibrahim عليه السلام as is in the Statement of Allah عز وجل: “[4:54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim’s children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom”. So the Proofs are the Prophets عليه السلام and the People of the Household of the Prophets عليه السلام until the Establishment of the Hour (Day of Judgement), because the Book of Allah عز وجل Speaks of that, the Will of Allah عز وجل some of them from the other which has been Placed upon the people, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: “[24:36] In houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted”, and these are the Houses of the Prophets عليه السلام, and the Rasools عليه السلام, and the Wise ones, and the Imams عليه الصلاة والسلام of Guidance. So these is the explanation of the firm belief by which gained salvation the ones who were before you, and by it was the Rescued the ones who followed the Imams عليه الصلاة والسلام. And Allah عز وجل Said in His عز وجل Book: “[6:84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others). [6:85] And Zakariya and Yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of the good [6:86] And Ismail and Al-Yasha and Yunus and Lut; and every one We made to excel (in) the worlds [6:87] And from among their fathers and their descendants and their brethren, and We chose them and guided them into the right way”. “[6:89] These are they to whom We gave the book and the wisdom and the prophecy; therefore if these disbelieve in it We have already entrusted with it a people who are not disbelievers in it”, for it has been Entrusted to the People from their عليه السلام Household, and the brothers, and the descendants, and it is the Statement of Allah عز وجل Blessed and High that if your people were to deny it so He عز وجل has Entrusted it to the People عليه الصلاة والسلام of your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Household with the Belief which He عز وجل Sent you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with. So they will never deny it ever, and will not waste the Belief which you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم have been Sent with, the People عليه الصلاة والسلام of your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Household from after you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, the knowledgeable ones (Ulamaa) of your صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم community, and the Guardians of My عز وجل Command (Wali Al-Amr) after you صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and the people of the interpretation (Istinbaat) of the Knowledge in which there is lie, and no sin, and no forgery, and no arrogance, and no showing off. So this is the explanation of what ended up to him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم of the matters of the community. Allah عز وجل Purified the People عليه الصلاة والسلام of the Household of His عز وجل Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and asked them (the people) for the recompense of the cordiality (Muwaddat), and Made the ‘Wilayah’ to flow for them عليه الصلاة والسلام, and Made them عليه الصلاة والسلام to be the successors عليه الصلاة والسلام, and His عز وجل Beloved ones. He صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم Established it after him صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم in his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم community: ‘O you people! Learn a lesson from what I صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم am saying to you. The place where Allah عز وجل has Placed His عز وجل Wilayah, and obedience to Him عز وجل, and His عز وجل cordiality, and the interpretation of His عز وجل Knowledge, and His عز وجل Proofs, so these عليه الصلاة والسلام are the ones. So accept them عليه الصلاة والسلام, and attach yourselves to them عليه الصلاة والسلام in order to be Rescued by it, and it will become an argument for you on the Day of Judgement, and the Path of your Lord عز وجل Majestic and Mighty. And you cannot arrive to the Wilayah of Allah عز وجل except through them عليه الصلاة والسلام. So the one who does that would have the right for Allah عز وجل to Honour him and not Punish him. And the one who comes to Allah عز وجل without what He عز وجل has Commanded for, would have become deserving for Allah عز وجل to Humiliate him and Punish him’.
