4 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسين محمد بن المظفر البزاز قال: حدثنا أبو عبد الله جعفر بن محمد الحسني قال: حدثنا إدريس بن زياد الكفرثوثي قال: حدثنا حنان بن سدير، عن سديف المكي قال: حدثني محمد بن علي عليهما السلام وما رأيت محمديا قط يعدله قال: حدثني جابر بن عبد الله الأنصاري قال: نادى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم في المهاجرين والأنصار، فحضروا بالسلاح وصعد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم المنبر، فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، ثم قال: يا معاشر المسلمين من أبغضنا أهل البيت بعثه الله يوم القيامة يهوديا. قال جابر: فقمت إليه فقلت: يا رسول الله وإن شهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله؟ فقال: وإن شهد أن لا إله إلا الله، فإنما احتجز من سفك دمه، أو يؤدي الجزية عن يد وهو صاغر . ثم قال صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: من أبغضنا أهل البيت بعثه الله يوم القيامة يهوديا، فإن أدرك الدجال كان معه ، وإن هو لم يدركه بعث في قبره فآمن به. إن ربي عز وجل مثل لي أمتي في الطين، وعلمني أسماءهم كما علم آدم الأسماء كلها، فمر بي أصحاب الرايات فاستغفرت الله لعلي وشيعته. قال حنان بن سدير: فعرضت هذا الحديث على أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام فقال لي: أنت سمعت هذا من سديف؟ فقلت: الليلة سبع منذ سمعته منه، فقال: إن هذا الحديث ما ظننت  أنه خرج من في أبي إلى أحد.

4. He said: Abul Husayn Muhammad ibn al-Mudhaffer al-Bazzaz reported to me from Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Hasani, who reported from Idris ibn Ziyad al-Kafrsosi, who reported from Hannan ibn Sudair, from Sudaif al-Makki who reported from Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon hm (commenting that I have not seen any believer of Muhammad to match his excellence) who reported from Jabir ibn Abdillah al-Ansari, who said: Once, the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, caused an announcement to be made among the Muhajir and Ansar, so they assembled with their weapons. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, climbed the pulpit, praised Allah and expressed his gratitude to Him. Then he said: "O Muslims, whoever hates us, the Ahlul Bayt, Allah shall resurrect him on the day of Judgement as a follower of Judaism." Jabir said: I stood up and asked: "O messenger of Allah, will it happen even if I testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah?" He said: "If he testified that there is no god but Allah, that saved him from his blood being spilled and from paying the tax submissively and with humility." Then the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny said: "Whoever hates us, the Ahlul Bayt, Allah shall resurrect him, as a follower of Judaism on the Day of Judgement, and if he ever met Dajjal, he would be his partisan. And, even if he did not meet him (i.e. Dajjal), he would be resurrected in his grave, so that he believes in him (i.e. Dajjal). Surely, Allah made the whole of my Ummah appear before me while still in dust, and taught me their names, the way he taught all the names to Adam. So, standard bearers passed by me and I prayed for forgiveness, in favour of ‘Ali and his followers. Hannan ibn Sudair said: I narrated this Tradition before Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibnMuhammad, peace be upon him, and he said: "Did you yourself hear this from Sudaif?" He said: "It is now seventh night since I heard from him." He (i.e. Abu Abdillah) said: "I never thought that this narration ever escaped the lips of my father to anyone."
