The relatives
of prophet (peace be upon him) prescribed through several narrations
that the book of Hazrat Zahra (Moshaf) had been kept by herself.
In the book:
(Basaer Aldarajat) by Imam Sadegh (p.b.u.h.) it has been narrated
that Fatemeh (peace be upon her) has remained a book which is not
Koran, but it is a speech of God which has been sent by God to
Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.). This collection has been written by prophet of
God (p.b.u.h.) and by Ali (p.b.u.h.).
Abou Basir
said: I went to Imam Sadegh (p.b.u.h.) and said: “Dearest! I have a
question. Is there anyone who hears me, except you? Imam put out the
curtains between him and the room of others and stated: “Ask me
whatever you wish, Abou Mohammad!” I replied: Dearest! Your Shiite
believe that prophet of God has opened a door of knowledge to Ali
(p.b.u.h.) through which one thousand of doors were opened.”
Imam stated:
“Bou Mohammad!, prophet of God (p.b.u.h.) taught to Ali thousand
chapters of science, through which thousand of doors were opened.” I
mentioned: “I take oath to God that it is the whole science.” Imam
gazed on the land and then prescribed: “This is the science, but not
all of it. Abou Mohammad! Community is with us, but the people do
not know what it is.” I asked: “what is the community?” He
prescribed: “It is a roll with a length of seventy zare, written by
prophet of God (p.b.u.h.) with manuscript of Ali (p.b.u.h.) where
all the acts prohibited or allowed have been mentioned, whatever is
needed by the people, even the blood money for a little scratch of
face.” Then he touched me and said: “Abou Mohammad! Do you let me?”
I answered: “Dearest! I am at your service, do whatever you wish.”
Imam pinched him and said: “even the blood money for this; if it is
by disgust.” I said: “I take oath to God that it is whole science.”
He prescribed: “This is the science, but not all of it.”
After a few
moments of silence, he prescribed: “jafar is also with us, but the
people do not know. I asked: “what is jafar?” He prescribed: “it is
a leather bag which contains knowledge of the prophet and their
successors, contains the previous knowledge of Israel.” I asked:
“Indeed, it is the whole knowledge.” He prescribed: “this is the
whole knowledge, but it is not all.”
Imam thought
again and prescribed: “Moshaf of Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.) is with us, but
no one knows what it is.” I asked: “What is Moshaf of Fatemeh
(p.b.u.h.)?” He prescribed: “it is three times bigger than your
Koran and I take oath to God that there is not even a word of your
Koran in that Moshaf.” I said: “I swear to God that this is the
whole knowledge.” He prescribed: “This is knowledge, but not the
whole of it.”
Again he waited
and said: “it is with us whatever had been since the beginning and
whatever will remain till pandemonium.” I said: “dearest! I swear to
God that it is the whole science.” He prescribed: “This is science,
but not all of it.” I asked: “Dearest! So what is it?” He
prescribed: “whatever happens every night and every day, one after
the other until the day of pandemonium1.”
Imam Reza
(p.b.u.h.) prescribes: “Imam has some signs, one of which is moshaf
of Hazrat Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.) which is at her hand”.
Sahifeh is a
piece of skin or paper on which something has been written: Sahifeh
Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.). It has also been narrated that this sahifeh is
70 zara long with the width of skin, where all the needs of human
beings, even the extent of blood money for a tiny scratch of body
has been registered.
In another
narration, Imam (p.b.u.h.) was asked: Fatemeh Zahra (p.b.u.h.) lived
75 days after prophet of God passed away, within the period, she was
bearing difficult sorrows for her father. Gabriel (p.b.u.h.) was
coming to her to console her and to remove the pains and to report
to her some facts and matters about her father. Ali (p.b.u.h.) was
writing the reports and maters and the same has been reflected in
Moshaf of Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.).
Based on
narrations of Abou Basir, it has been reported: Imam Sadegh
(p.b.u.h.) prescribed: “My father, Mohammad ibn Ali Albagher
(p.b.u.h.) said to Jaber ibn Abdollah Ansari: Jaber! I want to speak
with you. When will you have time so that we talk about a subject?
Jaber said: Whenever you wish.”
There was an
opportunity and Imam talked to Jaber. In this dialogue, Imam asked
Jaber to tell him about what he had observed in the plate at hands
of his grand mother Hazrat Zahra (p.b.u.h.) and to make him aware of
the matters having been written in the plate.
Jaber answered:
“I witness that I met your mother, Zahra (p.b.u.h.) one day when
prophet of God (p.b.u.h.) was alive to congratulate her for birthday
of Hossein ibn Ali (p.b.u.h.), when I saw at the hands of the great
woman a green plate and thought that it was emerald. I noticed in
that plate a white book which was shining like the sun and asked
her: “Dearest! What is the plate?” Fatemeh (p.b.u.h.) prescribed:
“this is the plate Almighty God granted to His prophet Mohammad
Mostafa (p.b.u.h.). Where the names of my father, husband, my
children (Hassan & Hossein), the names of Imams from generation of
my son (Hassan (p.b.u.h.)) have been mentioned. My father, prophet
of God (p.b.u.h.) granted it to me, to take a look at it to be
happy. “
Narration of
Loh, is one of the most famous narrations of Shiite, relying on
which the narrators have proved remarkable matters.
The most
important matters indicated by narration of Loh are as follows:
-
Imamate of Imam Ali and his sons and grand sons
(peace be upon them)
-
Prediction of some events which would occurr in the
period of life of the Imams, such as science of Imam, martyrdom of
Imam, place of date of Imam, encounter of those who oppose and
those who favor Imam.
-
Description of apparent, spiritual specifications
of Imam Mahdi (May God hasten his coming), statement of the
political, social, cultural situation at the time of his coming
and also the social improvements and occurrences after his coming.
-
All Imams are a unit soul at different goodies and
one who accepts all 12 Imams, will be prosperous. Concentration on
one of Imams serves as denial and being ignored of others.
-
Completion of Imamate by coming of Hazrat
Hojatollah (May God hasten his coming).
-
Imamate of Hazrat Mahdi (May God hasten his coming)
is not special for the Muslims or Shiite, but his imamate is a
wide grace covering all the people.
-
The green plate had been sent from divine and green
color of the plate indicated to white and shiny light of divinity,
being mixed with black color of the world of materials or the
world of witness; but the contents of this loh are white, because
such manuscripts have been sent from higher world which is pure
light3.
